The holy Grail

A Mixed Reality local multiplayer game where players can work together to explore the decrepit dungeon of the famous Gravensteen castle in Ghent.

The Holy Grail project served as our internship project of digital arts and entertainment. Sam and Arne got into contact with Historische Huizen Gent and proposed to make them a mixed reality application taking place in the historic castle of Ghent. We brainstormed and landed letting the players explore the old horse stables of the Gravensteen with 3 friends, working together to aquire the holy grail and bring it back outside for the masses to see.

This was our first experience with mixed reality technology, We bought the Meta Quest 3 headset early on and started to test the waters. We soon realised that we had to resort to some creative problem solving to add all the features we wanted, and after a couple of months we had our prototype ready for people to test.

The goal of this project was to create a game to attract younger audiences to the castle of Gravensteen, so we were requested to make a game and to make sure that it was suitable for all ages.

Whole you explore the dungeon you will fight with enemies, dodge traps, aquire loot and walk around the entire room.

This project used almost all new features that the Meta Quest 3 had to offer.
