- FAQ –
What is Puppet Fever? - Puppet Fever is a VR game where the players take turns acting out secret words using puppets in a virtual puppet theater. It's like a mix of pictionary and charades but voice acting is encouraged! This app is used to view the puppet theater in order to play the game.
Can I play Puppet Fever using only the companion app?
- No, a standalone copy of Puppet Fever is required to play the game. Puppet Fever is sold separately on Oculus Quest and Oculus GO.
Help! I can't find my game in the Lobby!
- First and foremost, check that you are connected to the same WiFi network. If you still have problems, try a different network. If no WiFi is available you can set up a WiFi-hotspot and connect both devices. On iOS you can find this under Settings > Personal Hotspot.
Do I have to own a personal copy of the standalone Puppet Fever VR game in order to download and use this companion app?
- No, anyone can download and use this app to play with friends who own the base game!
This Family game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Not very fun but enjoyable keep up the good work.
It originally did not work at all, but after updating iPad, it works great.
This game is super fun, but there is one thing we thought might make some people uncomfortable, if you select France as one of the places. A WHITE flag appears in the recommended. This doesnt upset us, but it might upset some people, Just saying.
This game is super fun and our family loves to play it! The only suggestion we have is that it would be nice to be able to scan it on multiple devices! We have to hook the computer up to the TV. It would be better to just use multiple of our phones.
This app is great but is there a way to use puppets on the phone? It kinda gets annoying to keep witching to the headset after a long time.
The game is fun but when us and our sis try to join on the vr only our sis was allowed to join and we couldnt join when our sis was in.
It is really confusing at times and it gives things to act out like arson. Do you want your kids to act out arson.
Fun game. But really not meant for young children. Cards include drug dealer, selling your soul, and stuff dealing with the devil. And the devil cartoon figure has a satanic symbol on it. So just be aware.
Its a fun game but we still encounter some issues sometimes we cant get our oculus quest to connect to our iPad or phone we can only connect on phone/iPad to our quest but we still have lots of fun on it and the best part is its free but we dont think this should be rated 4+because we dont think 4 year olds are gonna know what DOOM is or the Simpson are but we also dont think that a 4 year old is gonna be using a vr headset ether tho.
There is no choice to enable mic on game how do we do that also on the base game how do you change the input method on fever mode.
Goat simulator is good but this game is bad the developers are dumb so get them out of here please we have VR and this does nothing but waste your time it oh and not to forget about this: it does not work so we want you to please tell us why it does nothing make it good like goat simulator please sorry for the insult we are just MAD please respond to this and answer our message ok.
We liked single player on the quest but it has connection issues.
Im sure this is a good game but when our family downloaded it they would all say it appeared and disappeared or one person would say their in or if a person joins and sees it pop up and click on it at the same time another person clicks on it ether one of them will have an error and the other will get in.
Nothing happens when you press scan.
Us and our family were trying to get into the game we started on our VR and only one person was able to get in if a second person tried it would say couldnt Connect.
Doesnt even work we have our vr headset on the same WiFi as our phone and we scanned multiple times we tried everything on the troubleshoot and still doesnt work.
Hopefully they update it! Never requests network permissions so it cant see the Quest.
Super fun to play. Our family and we found it as a really fun and creative game. Dont rate the game as a 1 star just because you didnt read the description. Morons.
Im on the oculus quest and it says waiting for puppet fever competition to join but the app wont join developer please respond to this.
Dont rate 1 star because you dont have one.
This is awesome but we just want to say to everyone: YOU NEED A VR HEADSET. Dont rate this app bad just because you dont have one. The developers spent a long time on this app.
We cant play because we dont have a vr headset so can you make a mod where you need One.
We have a vr headset (oculus quest) but the user on the ipad or iphone using this app cant guess, but if we just listen to them irl and if they guess correctly there is no option to give them the win, please fix.
This app is soooo good and works flawlessly with the oculus quest. We havent seen a single bug or glitch and it is just so fun! Definitely recommended.
