Ultra Climbing Playgrounds

Ultra Climbing Playgrounds is an action and adventure climbing game from Ultra Fun Games. It bundles eight experiences built around climbing, ziplining, platforming and walking planks high above the ground. It is distributed through SideQuest, where it was first listed in June 2021.

How it plays

You start in the Digital Playground, a 3D interactive menu with portals to the other modes; exploring it reveals a larger playground of its own. From there you can jump into:

• Play Area: a playground styled like a training ground, with buildings to climb and interiors to explore
• City Playground: a prototype-style city of skyscrapers and grab points for climbing and ziplining
• Sky City: taller towers for players who want more altitude
• Super Plank and Ultra Plank: plank walks in the city and high in the sky
• Ultra Zipline: ziplines across the city
• Ultra Platformer: jumps between floating platforms from one skyscraper to the next

The developer ties the climbing mechanics to its earlier Ultra Height: Mist City Climb and the Play Area map to Climb & Shoot. Its later Ultra Shooting Playgrounds reuses upgraded versions of these maps with shooting, flying and swinging.

Comfort

SideQuest rates comfort as intense, and heights are central to every mode. The listing marks it as playable seated. The game works with Oculus Move to track calories, and the developer suggests adding weights or a vest for a harder workout. See our guide to motion sickness in VR if heights or movement get to you.
