Fans of Jordan Peele‘s films can hop on board a virtual train to explore a creepy VR version of the ranch from his upcoming Western-set thriller “Nope.”
The new “Nope” experience is available for free in meta‘s Horizon Worlds app on the Quest 2 virtual-reality headset. It’s produced under a partnership among meta (Facebook’s new corporate name), Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions and Universal Pictures.
The multi-world VR experience begins with “Monkeypaw Productions: All Aboard,” in which you find yourself as a passenger on the Monkeypaw train — featuring Easter eggs from Peele’s “Nope,” “Get Out” and “Us.”
From there, you can teleport to the “Nope World,” where you will arrive at a VR replica of Haywood Ranch from the film. There, visitors can interact with other fans and play several minigames and engage with other interactive elements, including playing records, riding a motorcycle and a getting sucked up into the sky by an ominous-looking storm cloud.
A maximum of 11 people are able to enter a single instance of the “Nope” world, and the Horizon Worlds app will launch additional instantiations as needed. Two additional Horizon Worlds VR experiences — “Get Out World” and “Us World” — are coming later this summer.
