Richie's Plank Experience is a virtual reality experience in which the player rides an elevator to the top of a virtual skyscraper and walks out along a narrow plank. It was developed and published by Toast Interactive and is listed on Steam for Windows with SteamVR and room-scale tracked controllers.[1] The Steam page gives a release date of December 2017.[1]
A version for the standalone Oculus Quest headset was released on June 27, 2019, priced at $14.99 with cross-buy for the Oculus Store.[2] As of October 2026 the Steam listing was still on sale, and Steam user reviews were rated Mostly Positive (485 of 608 reviews positive).[1]
Overview
The main scenario places the player on a plank at a height the Steam page describes as 80 stories, and the player chooses whether to walk to the end.[1] The Steam listing says the plank's dimensions and orientation can be changed and describes cloning a real-world plank into the virtual one.[1] The Steam page also warns that the experience can cause a loss of balance and recommends two adult supervisors and a clear play space.[1]
The Steam page lists further activities beyond the plank: Fire Deck, in which the player uses "rocket hands" to fly over a city and put out fires, Sky Brush, a sky-painting mode, and Hero Academy activities including Rocket Race, Missile Defense and Fire Fight.[1] The Quest release was described by UploadVR as including the Missile Defence mode, rocket racing and Sky Brush, and as a version playable without a tether on the standalone headset.[2] The Steam listing offers English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese and Korean.[1]
