I took Jason's advice and bought the Puzzling Places game. I still have issues with the bounding zone, both because my space is small and because some of what you need to do isn't clear. ![]() I've been testing out the Quest 3 on and off for the past three days. Tomorrow, I want to try the main demo that comes with the device. I never like to push the little guy away, so we'll have to find a way to negotiate having him in my lap and the goggles on my face.

She said it didn't bother her, but seeing a blank plastic headset over my eyes must have been a bit weird.
