Cop Academy

Cop Academy is a team-based game for 4 to 8 players, who compete in challenges to earn points and pass the academy’s final exam. Only one team earns a place in the Otterwa Police Department. Players can also eat donuts along the way.

Challenges and teamwork

Teams take turns sending one champion to compete in five quick VR trials, each lasting 20 seconds and testing speed and dexterity. The champion’s teammates use information shown on a PC display or TV to help, so communication and cooperation are important.

When the opposing team is taking its turn, players can try to disrupt its communication or plan how to equip their next champion. Challenges include eating flying donuts, freeing chocolate bars stuck in a vending machine and surviving a riot, among others.

Achievements and medals

Achievements reward players for their accomplishments, while medals are awarded for perfect success in a challenge. The medals are physical medals bearing a golden “OK hand” symbol.

Cop Academy can be played as a way to spend an evening with friends or as a replacement for Rock-Paper-Scissors.
