The game of Kottabos

Targets include a metal disk balanced on a pole and small cups floating in a bowl of water. Bringing down the disk or cups is said to improve your luck, and winners may receive applause, an extra dessert or the favor of Aphrodite. The objects around you are 3D reconstructions of actual ancient furniture, pottery and Kottabos targets from museums.

Throwing and scoring

The game uses VR physics: you throw the dregs with controller momentum and the trigger button. You aim at different targets, with scores based on the strength of your hit and where it lands. Kottabos can be harder than it looks.

Levels and records

There are three gameplay levels and a tutorial level. You can track your high scores, and the game teaches you about Kottabos as a real Greek party game.
