Puppet Fever

About

Puppet Fever is an indie VR game where one player manipulates puppets to act out a secret word while others try to guess it. You take turns being the puppeteer using motion controls to move strings and operate a miniature theater. The rest of the group watches and shouts out their best guesses. It works in both single player against AI and local multiplayer with friends. The game shines in its simple but effective mix of physical comedy and wordplay. Players often highlight how the string-pulling mechanics feel surprisingly responsive and how the act of pantomiming without speaking leads to chaotic fun. With a 74% on Metacritic and a cult following, it’s a quirky party game that leans into absurdity. The lack of online multiplayer might deter some but keeps the focus on in-person chaos.
