About Gorilla Tag
Gorilla Tag drops you into a VR jungle where you become a monke, using only hand and arm motions to run, climb, jump, swim, slide, swing on ropes, and even hang‑glide. The locomotion system replaces buttons, sticks, and teleportation, offering a physical way to move that feels both simple and deep.
The game is multiplayer‑focused, letting you join public tag arenas or private rooms with friends. A rotating in‑game store supplies cosmetic items, and every purchase includes a starter bundle of 5,000 Shiny Rocks.
01 / THE GUIDE
Hand‑Based Locomotion
Movement is achieved by pushing off surfaces and squeezing them with both hands, eliminating the need for traditional controller inputs. This method lets you run, climb, jump, swim, slide, swing on ropes, and hang‑glide in clouds.
The description calls the system easy to learn but hard to master, encouraging players to practice basic pushes before tackling more complex maneuvers like vertical climbs or aerial glides.
- Begin on flat ground to get comfortable with push‑off momentum.
- When climbing, keep both hands on the surface to maintain stability.

Map Variety
The game ships with classic tag maps such as Forest, Canyon, Mountain, and Beach, providing familiar arenas for chase gameplay.
Additional experimental maps like Ghost Reactor, Hoverboard Racing, Monke Ball, and Prop Hunt expand the experience, and player‑created maps add community‑driven content.
- Try an experimental map after mastering a classic one to test new movement challenges.
- Visit community hubs to discover popular player‑made maps.

Multiplayer Interaction
Online PvP lets you chase, juke, or outmaneuver opponents in various arenas, with low stakes that encourage casual chat or improvised games.
Private rooms let friends group up for focused sessions, while public lobbies connect strangers for spontaneous tag matches.
- Use voice chat in private rooms to coordinate strategies.
- Experiment with non‑competitive games to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.

In‑Game Store
A rotating inventory in the City store offers items to buy, play with, and wear, letting players express their monke identity.
Purchasing the game grants a free bundle of 5,000 Shiny Rocks, described as a $20 value, for immediate use in the store.
- Check the store regularly for new cosmetic rotations.
- Spend Shiny Rocks on visual flair rather than gameplay‑affecting items.
05 / THE GUIDE
Cross‑Platform Play
The title supports crossplay with PC versions, meaning Windows players can join sessions together regardless of which PC they use.
This compatibility helps maintain a larger player pool for both casual and competitive experiences.
- Ensure your Windows client is up to date before joining cross‑platform matches.
- Invite friends on other Windows PCs to test latency and performance.
