Press reviews: “It goes beyond looking at photos or watching 360-degree videos – it allows you to actually interact with the location and immerse yourself in its offerings through gamified experiences, all without having to pack your bags, find a dog sitter, or book a flight.” VR Scout “You no longer need to spend roughly one billion hours on a plane to get to New Zealand. WellTown takes you there in an instant using VR.” Upload “Each [game] has a vastly different style and method of engagement, making it as much a fun showcase of VR as it is of Wellington itself.” Gameplanet
