Colossi’s Crowd Games take on VR at the VRLA Summer Expo

LOS ANGELES, CA ­ August 1, 2016 ­Colossi LLC, the pioneer in field of interactive crowd gaming, announced today that they are partnering with the Virtual Reality Foundation to bring their crowd.game platform to the VRLA Summer Expo 2016. The expo will take place August 5th ­ 6th 2016 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

“VRLA aims to provide a memorable experience to all of the attendees, going beyond the realm of AR and VR,” says Ben Skaggs, Co­founder of Colossi. “We’re very excited to bring something different to the table with our platform, giving everyone an experience they can all engage in together while they’re exploring the amazing VR lineup of the expo.”

Colossi’s proprietary crowd.game platform enables hundreds of people in a local space to engage with their interactive gaming content, using their smartphones. Players are then split into teams, where they have to work together to compete against the other teams in some short form, competitive crowd games.

“We’re excited to have Colossi showcase their crowd.game platform at the VRLA Summer Expo,” said Cosmo Scharf, Co­Founder, VRLA. “Attendees are going to have a blast working together and playing this game in a collaborative environment, all while using their own phones as controllers!”

Colossi games will be available during both days of the expo, and will be sponsored by one of the expo sponsors, Unity.
