Shed Racer

Shed Racer is a 3D racing game where you race toy-style cars across colorful, twisting tracks. It features Career Mode with progressive difficulty, Quick Race for instant action, an Infinite Survival mode where the track crumbles behind you, and both local split-screen and online multiplayer.

What makes Shed Racer special is its built-in Track Editor. You can design your own tracks with ramps, boost pads, oil slicks, barriers, and more, then share them with the community. In VR, you can race in tabletop mode (looking down at a miniature track) or switch to first-person for full immersion. It also supports AR passthrough and hand tracking on Meta Quest.

Archery Evolution: Time Trials

Set in space, Archery Evolution: Time Trials challenges you to unleash your archery skills against targets in zero-gravity environments. The game features global leaderboards where you compete against players worldwide for the best score and fastest time.

The VR controls feel natural: you draw your bow with one controller and aim with the other, just like real archery. On desktop and mobile, the controls adapt to mouse/touch input automatically.

Archery Evolution: Showdown

The multiplayer companion to Time Trials, Archery Evolution: Showdown lets you challenge players worldwide in intense archery duels. Draw your bow, aim true, and see who has the better shot in real-time competitive matches.

Archery Dungeon

Defend a magical portal from waves of invading orcs with your bow and arrows. Archery Dungeon combines VR archery mechanics with wave-defense gameplay, requiring quick reflexes and precise aim as enemies approach from multiple directions.

Platforms: VR | Category: Action, Shooter

Archery Training

Archery Training is a pure archery practice experience designed to help you hone your skills. Targets appear at varying distances and angles, letting you train for the more competitive archery games on the platform.

Platforms: VR | Category: Action, Shooting

Boulderworld

Boulderworld is a VR bouldering simulation where you climb your way through different bouldering halls. Grab holds, plan your route, and pull yourself up challenging walls, all with realistic VR hand mechanics. It's a surprisingly physical workout for a browser game.

Platforms: VR | Category: Sports

Construct Chess

It's chess, but playable in VR, mixed reality, desktop, and mobile. Construct Chess supports both multiplayer (play against friends) and AI opponents. In VR, you reach out and physically pick up pieces to make your moves. On desktop, it plays like a traditional chess interface.

Platforms: VR, PC, Mobile | Category: Board Games, Strategy

Ever wanted to be a barista? In Barista Express, you run your own café, taking orders, brewing coffee, steaming milk, and serving customers. It's a charming casual experience that demonstrates the creative potential of WebXR beyond traditional gaming.

Platforms: VR | Category: Arcade, Simulation

Iron Rails

Ride a mine cart through a post-apocalyptic landscape and shoot for fame. Iron Rails is an on-rails VR shooter that combines the thrill of a roller coaster with target-shooting gameplay.

Platforms: VR | Category: Shooter, Action

Spray Space

Spray Space is a creative AR and VR experience that brings graffiti art into the digital age. Pick up virtual spray cans and paint on walls in VR, or use AR mode to spray art onto real-world surfaces through your device's camera. It's less of a game and more of a creative tool, but it's one of the most unique WebXR experiences available.

Platforms: VR, AR, PC | Category: Art, Experience

Avoid the Dark

Fly through a dark, post-apocalyptic city collecting fuel while avoiding buildings. Avoid the Dark is a VR flight game with atmospheric visuals and tense gameplay as you navigate through increasingly narrow gaps between crumbling skyscrapers.

Platforms: VR, PC | Category: Action, Flight

geobeat

geobeat is a rhythm-based dodging game where you avoid geometric shapes synced to the beat. Play in AR mode for an especially cool effect where the game overlays onto your real-world environment through your device's camera.

Platforms: PC, Mobile, AR | Category: Action

Maze Challenge

Maze Challenge is a physics-based labyrinth game for Meta Quest that also runs on desktop and mobile. Roll a weighted ball through a walled maze against the clock — either by nudging it directly, or by grabbing a shrunk-down copy of the whole maze and tilting it like a real wooden labyrinth tray. It supports full VR, AR passthrough (set the maze on your own table and lean over it), hand tracking, and controllers.
