About Richie's Plank Experience

✦ AI summary

Richie's Plank Experience puts you on a virtual plank 80 stories high and tests whether you'll walk or freeze as your sense of balance betrays you. It's a psychological VR experience that stands out by letting you clone real-world objects into the virtual world for genuine immersion, plus includes bonus activities like flight challenges, fire rescue missions, and a meditative sky-drawing mode.

This isn't a game. Richie’s Plank Experience is a psychological experience that your visitors and guests will react to with exhilaration, fear or laughter. For the VR veteran, even more entertainment comes watching the reactions of others.

Health and Safety
This game invokes a near-instant emotional reaction. Due to the nature of virtual reality, this experience can set you off-balance and affect your decision making. The following safety guidelines will reduce the risk of serious injury or harm.
  • Ensure there are two adult supervisors who are alert and capable of catching you if you lose balance.
  • Do not run or jump off the plank.
  • Pick an activity space clear of any objects in your surroundings and keep a clear buffer around your space.
  • Establish a no pushing or provoking rule that is enforced and taken seriously.

You're on a plank, 80 stories high. Knees shaky, palms sweaty. Do you walk or do you freeze?
Richie's Plank Experience is the only VR experience that lets you clone a real-world object into the virtual world for added immersion. Yes, you can adjust the length, width, height and orientation of the in-game plank.
It’s not just a plank.
There’s something for everyone. In Hero Academy, you can:
fly through the city in Rocket Race;
save the city in Missile Defense;
and extinguish fires in Fire Fight!
Is that it?
The Sky Brush level will slow you down with a zen-like skywriting experience and if you are an adventurous adult, try the infamous Nightmare Mode in the hidden elevator panel.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Richie's Plank Experience is a VR novelty experience centered around walking a virtual plank, which players agree works well as a party gimmick to show others but offers minimal actual gameplay content beyond that single activity. Common complaints include poor controls, technical bugs like debug text displays, limited and basic environments, and questionable design choices like an unexplained nightmare mode, with most players feeling the asking price is too high for what amounts to a brief demonstration rather than a full game.

Not recommended Jul 2, 2026
It's really just a gimmick game, nice for parties and others to try but there's nothing to do in this game other than walking the plank but that does not make it worth $15. Maybe if it's on a heavy discount and you plan on having a lot of other people try it then buy it, otherwise don't bother.

Walked off the plank. Very unpleasant. Not as unpleasant as accidentally activating the "nightmare mode" though. Tell me why there was a guy in a dark room with a drill coming my way making drill noises. No, really, tell me, because I panic-closed the game, so I don't know. COME HERE AND TELL ME WHY THERE WAS A DRILL GUY MAKING DRILL NOISES AT ME IN A DARK ROOM.

Shell of what this experience originally was. Now with a force TOS? WTF is this. Just pirate an old version, this updated one blows.

There's not much too it. Too basic and a bit buggy for the price. The left controller shows Unity debug text on the Steam Frame. The game has some nice looking assets in some sections, but it's only a couple very simple scenes, not really a game or an "experience".

very one dimensional and very difficult to move around in game and controllers are worthless
