What people are saying
Mixed but mostly negative: many report crashes, some enjoy it with specific hardware.
Many players report that the game crashes repeatedly, often during the first mini-game, making it unplayable for them. Some users say the game is broken and abandoned by the developers, with no support or fixes. [1][2][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][18][19][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]
A minority of players find the game fun and working well on certain hardware, such as HTC Vive Pro or with fixes like compatibility mode. Some praise the graphics and variety of games, though note limited replay value. [1][3][5][7][8][9]
Praised fun when it works · good graphics · variety of games

60 of 194 · most liked firstGame will crash on tutorial in Oculus Rift, but worry not, I have a fix Go to This PC Go to Program Files Go to Steam Go to Steam Apps Go to Common Find "Carnival Games VR" Set the EXE file to Windows 7 Compatibility mode Reset PC Activate Steam VR The game will now work without crashing Warning this game is hard as hell and will wear your arms out, only the strong survive
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this has been abandoned by the developers. crashes on 1st game many people have same issue. tryed to play on 2 pc's
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Does not work with Ociulus Quest 2 & link. When I launch the 1st mini game, the display goes back to steam loader with Carnival VR and got stuck with the mention "Next up".
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game will ONLY work with an NVIDIA graphics card!!!! I recently upgraded from an AMD RX Vega 56 to an NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1080ti. This game would crash on opening whenever I tried to run it with my AMD card, after swapping to an NVIDIA card the game works just fine. It's a great, fun game but I am extremely disappointed that it does not work with AMD cards.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got the game on Humble bundle for $1. Keeps crashing when I try to go to the first mini game. I have a Rift S. I googled my problem and the only fix I can find is getting it on the Oculus store. I did try something else which is run as admin, and on windows 8 compatibility mode, and it didn't work. So far cannot find any other fix to try. Will update if I ever get the game to work. (also to add, I have a GTX 1070, not an AMD graphics card)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game crashes on the first mini game do not buy, game is broken
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →0/10 DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!! Game Will Load On Start Up And Run Perfectly Until Your About To Pick The First Game.. Then The Game Will Crash And Say "Could Not Connect To Steam" "Please Make Sure That Steam Is Open And Try Again"... Steam Is Open And There Should Be No Issues... :v Tried This With My: "Oculus Rift S", "Oculus Quest 2 With Steam Link" And My "Valve Index" This Game Is Broken On All Platforms... I Know There's A Fix Where You Go Into The Steam Files And Change A Few Things To…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is constantly crashing and completely unplayable, it's beyond ridiculous that it is still on sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game crashes 10-15 minutes into play. No longer playable until fixed, if ever. Was a great game to let people try VR for the first time. Shame really.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FOV is broken on quest 3. Complete vomit comet.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Never been able to open the game; crashes.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is awful. The physics are down right garbage.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still broken for oculus users
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →UPDATE 2/12/2021 Game works great with the newly released HP Reverb G2 headset & motion controllers! The sports addon content which offers basketball arcade shooting is playable & offers better shooting mechanics than other WMR games I've tried. Everything works great especially skee-ball and the pitching game. It's a drastic improvement over the Lenovo Explorer VR headset. Don't know why others can't make it work on their system but maybe if you add a big enough pagefile to windows you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game doesn't work. Crashes every time I enter the first carnival game(Don't get to play it for even a second) and the Devs will never fix this. DO. NOT. BUY
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As others have stated, the game crashes as soon as you try to load up the first game it guides you to in the tutorial (using Oculus Rift S). Do not purchase!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just bouight the DLC and jumped back into this game and its completely unplayable now it crashes during the first game you play everytime! this was one of my favorite VR games but is now completley unplayable they better fix this issue soon. DO NOT BUY IN THIS CURRENT STATE UNTILL EVERYTHING IS FIXED AGAIN!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game used to work fine. Now it just crashes and errors Steam VR. DO NOT BUY.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is broken. Do not Buy. Steam needs to remove this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →use to work i havent changed anything in my pc but now it refuses to run
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game does not work.. still being sold though... cant get a refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is broken and seemingly abandoned. After purchasing this game and liking it I purchased the DLC. The DLC was well worth it and had a good experience until one day it would no longer launch. Was a good game; now completely unplayable even after trying every fix players could come up with (since devs have no comments). What a waste. Don't purchase this headache. (HTC Vive / AMD RX 580)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ATTENTION: The Game is broken and there is no support for it any more I think its a shame they continue selling the game, but at least it was only a couple of bucks. Nevertheless DON'T buy the Game!!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Used to be one of the most fun VR games i own, my girlfriends fav game in all of VR....currently unplayable bc it will frezze after a few minutes....PLS FIX!!!! i7-6700k 16GB DDR4 RTX 2070
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game will crash within 5-10 minutes of play. Have to completely shut down steamvr to get the headset working again. I went back and forth with the support through email several times providing a lot of details. They never fixed the issue and closed the ticket. Told me it will be fixed someday. Just booted it up after a couple of months of not playing. Crash! Same problem.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy this game, it will freeze about 5 minutes in every time I try to play
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Similar to most other reviews- Crashes immediately on startup. FWIW: Original HTC Vive, AMD card
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →God awful controls, frequent crashes, stinky devs. -rep don't play this ♥♥♥♥
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is broken so unless you are willing to do a lot more just for a chance for it to work, do not get this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →no occlus support total trash crashes after first game intro
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →games does not work on rift, crashes on first game select and looking on forums lots had same issue and devs aware so sadly cant recommend
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY THIS This game will crash within 5 minutes of play, the developers have not patched it in quite some time. This game should not be up for sale as it is unplayable!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy this game if you have a Rift as it really doesn't work, when ever i try and enter the first game it crashes and there is no way of fixing it. Such a waste of money just wish i could get a refund but i bought it on cdkeys.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazingly fun with decent controls but the game just freezes after 10 or so minutes of game play every time with out fail its the only game that dose this for me save your money do not buy it until its fixed
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Broken as can be. DO NOT BUY.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY. This game is unplayable, I can get as far as trying to enter the 1st 'carnival game' and it just crashes back to the desktop with no error at all, happens every time I've opened the game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy. Currently broken. Will randomly freeze.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Occulus Quest 2 via AirLink works on Compatibility mode! Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for WMR, which has no visibility but is somehow playing the background sounds. I've had issues with this game since I bought it a few months back to play Skeeball, game would start but then crashes when attempting to play at the first stall (Golden Arm). Thought it was a lost cause so I got Pierhead Arcade instead, but it worked today (12/16/2022) when I tried! Checked the folders and there wasn't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game does not work. Game crashes on first game every time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game does not work. I luckily got it as part of a Humble Bundle pack for $1. When you first load up the game, it tells you to calibrate the view using the thumbsticks. That works. Next it tells you to select the area to your left, which also works. When that area loads, you are told to select the game on your left. Once you select that, that game crashes. Every. Damn. Time. I'm assuming the devs don't care because this has been a known issue for a long time now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like many others has commented, this game is broken. Only worked for the 1st few minutes in the tutorial, I've never been able to play the game since. Have changed compatibility mode to windows 7 and/or Run as Admin, no joy Win 10, AMD Vega 56, Rift
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It just doesn't work. It crashes when you select the first minigame. Don't chance it thinking you can get it to work. It just doesn't, fix your game!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It doesn't seem to work with the rift s.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game is broken and havent been fixed for more than a year dont buy edit: so after 2 years of writing this review i updated my pc i went from intel i7-4790k to i9-12900k and from radion 290 to 3080ti and i tried launching the game and it worked. why you ask i have no idea fyi the game used to run fine on my old pc for about a year then it stopped
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crashes on start with Oculus Rift S, Although I've managed to get it sort of working (tracking don't work properly) its not an ideal solution as affects game-play. I find if I put it in windows 7 compatibility mode, run Oculus Home, then Steam VR, then run the game, it will play. Shame, as the whole family likes to play this game :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game used to run great and be one of my favorite VR games. Now it crashes after five minutes every time. Do not buy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have this on PSVR and enjoyed it when I was still playing the PSVR, so I thought I'd grab it on sale for the Oculus. The problem is, once it boots up and I try to enter into the first game from the game selection screen, it crashes every time. As dozens of others have already stated, this game is currently BROKEN. Sort the reviews by most recent and you will see all of them are negative. You might as well flush your money down the toilet instead of purchasing this in its current (broken)…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Are we planning on fixing this? It's a fun game and great for younger children as well as adults. Glad to change the review when it works again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is alot of fun, however it crashes constantly. Extremely frustrating when on the climbing wall, almost to the very end and then BAM, not responding. I would like to recommend this game, however its extremely unstable, even on the basic things like dart throwing. I can play Fallout VR and Skyrim VR with no issue, however 1 min into the climbing wall/ any other game, crashes everytime. Win10, i7 7700k, 16 gb ram, gtx 1060 6gb, Please fix.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GAme doens't wokr, steam needs to remove. Not 1 player can get it to run currently and has been this way for a while. Amaazing they actually tried putting it on sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is really fun, but it not compatible to steam. just buy it through VR.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great set of Wii-like games, works perfectly on a HTC Vive Pro, Windows 10. Got my mother addicted and couldn't get her off it. Some games are really quite tricky, e.g. basketball hoops, the pool, golf. But that gives you something to work towards. Don't understand the point of the objects you can buy and the play area to play them in, seems a bit of a waste. Majority of games are good fun, however. The haunted house, the shooting gallery, the milk bottles, horseshoes, the ring-toss,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is amazing and whoever's complaining about not being able to play on rift s or quest devices read the store page again. It's only a valve index or a HTC vive game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →0/10 - DEV. failure, Game starts with "Waiting" Black screen. Shame on 2K publisher for collaboration failure with the DEV.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crashed already at the first mini game. tried multiple times. Kinda sad because i was so exited to play this game!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The same here with Oculus Rift: The game crashes as soon as I want to start the first game without any error message.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is broken. Played on an RTX 2070 with Rift CV1 on windows 10, but apparently all sorts of headsets have the same problem - when you get to the first minigame, the game crashes. And this is on the oculus store as well, so it should work fine on oculus. Managed to fix this by switching to windows 7 compatibility mode and restarting my computer, but when you do that it causes the view to get all wonky and everything gets bigger when you look down and smaller when you look up. If you do manage…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is fun until it crashes. Only allowing 5 minutes of play.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crashes every single time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crash, Crash, Crash, Crash. Oh hey it loaded!! Oh wait it crashed again..... I can't even get past the tutorial. if you want to give it a go be prepared for this.....
