Half playground, half social club, Rec Room is a vast world packed with awesome activities—and people to share them with. Inside its themed rooms, you might challenge other players to a round of laser tag, join a treasure quest aboard a haunted pirate ship, or casually explore a giant park. Go wild or just goof off...whatever fits your mood.

What we love: It feels limitless. Whether you meet up in a futuristic city or the RecCenter hub, you and your friends can share everything from planned activities (like a game of hoops or your own stage play) to an impromptu root-beer-chugging contest. And because Rec Room is a single shared universe, it’s easy to party up and hop from room to room with pals playing on other game platforms.

Quick tip: Can’t find what you’re looking for? Build it yourself! The game’s powerful creative tools let you craft 3D objects—or even entire worlds, like a lush elfin village.

Meet the creator: Seattle-based Rec Room Inc. was founded in 2016 by veterans of AR-, VR-, and social-gaming companies.
