Hey Product Hunt! 👋

Today, we’re excited to announce the release of The Green Spurt, a collaborative immersive escape room-style game for Apple Vision Pro. For us, this isn’t just a game, it’s the result of one year of research, experimentation, and exploration in spatial computing.

We set out to understand what it takes to build a shared immersive experience. The escape-room format turned out to be the perfect challenge: one of the most complex experiences we could build, combining storytelling, co-presence, and technical innovation. In The Green Spurt, platform features themselves become game mechanics. Players solve puzzles through portals, object manipulation, hand tracking, and more, all layered into a shared narrative journey.

New opportunities unlocked with visionOS 26

Even though we began building The Green Spurt a year ago, visionOS 26 unlocked new possibilities that allowed us to implement features that simply weren’t possible before, pushing the boundaries of what Apple Vision Pro can deliver.

SharePlay has added support for inviting nearby people to join a group activity, so players can gather whether they’re in the same room or on FaceTime. Designed from the ground up as a multiplayer experience, The Green Spurt has become more engaging thanks to visionOS 26.

RealityKit’s new mesh instancing enables efficient placing of massive amounts of geometry allowing us to bring to life our vision for The Green Spurt’s complex immersive environment while maintaining a smooth performance that was previously unachievable.

A deeper integration between SwiftUI, RealityKit and ARKit, ensures our experience feels intuitive and consistent, while the new TabletopKit updates make interactions feel even more natural.

In‑game help is powered by on‑device Foundation Models, enabling us to explore novel use cases for AI in spatial experiences such as context-aware support and natural language actions.

AI as a Creative Companion

We also used this project as a space to explore generative AI as a creative companion. AI tools supported concept art, audio and video production, as well as puzzle and narrative ideation. This hybrid process allowed us to move faster, test more ideas, and focus on player experience.

What’s Next?

The Green Spurt will remain our experimental playground, an ongoing space where we test new technologies, ideas, and approaches. We are especially excited to continue exploring areas like Foundational Models, pipelines, and accessibility.

While developing The Green Spurt, we also laid the groundwork for future escape room games, themes, and mechanics, and we see clear opportunities to repurpose this research into frameworks and other commercial products.

Shared experiences with co-location and co-presence have been confirmed as core strengths of spatial computing, and we will continue to push their boundaries. While B2C adoption may not be fully there yet, we see the importance of continuing this exploration and redoubling our efforts.

We remain committed to sharing the insights and knowledge gained from this past year. Follow our blogs (roxana-nagy.com | elkraneo.com) and social media channels where we will share updates and insights from our exploration.

Beyond the Game

We hope people will play The Green Spurt twice: once for the fun of the escape room experience, and again to notice the details, how game mechanics, equipment, environment design and spatial audio come together to create a new kind of shared storyliving.

A Note of Thanks

We couldn’t have done this without the incredible people around us. The Green Spurt became what it is thanks to the support, passion, and feedback of a diverse and thriving community, and we’re deeply grateful.
