A high-energy VR multiplayer experience inspired by Gorilla Tag. Swing, climb, and chase your friends using nothing but your arms. No buttons, no controllers — just pure monkey chaos.
Cheeky Monkeys is a VR multiplayer game built for the Meta Quest platform. Inspired by the viral hit Gorilla Tag, we're creating our own take on arm-based locomotion multiplayer gaming.
The core gameplay is simple: you move through the world by physically swinging your arms and pushing off surfaces. There are no joysticks, no buttons for movement — just your arms and momentum. It feels like you're actually a monkey swinging through the environment.
The main game mode is Infection: one player starts as "it" and has to tag other players. Once you're tagged, you join the infected team and help chase the remaining survivors. Last monkey standing wins.
Cheeky Monkeys is currently in development by Avantos Games, a small indie studio founded in 2026. We're building this because we love Gorilla Tag and want to contribute our own twist to the genre.
Cheeky Monkeys is an independent fan-made game inspired by Gorilla Tag. We are NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Another Axiom (the creators of Gorilla Tag). All original content is owned by Avantos Games.
This game is built using the open-source Gorilla Locomotion system by Another Axiom and the Gorilla Template by NormalVR.

Play with friends and strangers from around the world in real-time VR sessions.
Multiple maps and environments to swing, climb, and hide in. More coming soon.
Grab your Meta Quest, make sure your play area is clear (at least 2m in all directions), and set up your Guardian boundary.
Move by physically pushing off surfaces. Swing your arms back to go forward. Touch walls and floors to change direction. No buttons needed.
In Infection mode, avoid the infected players or tag survivors if you're it. Use the map to your advantage. Last monkey standing wins!
