Gorilla Tag is a VR game built around one simple idea: move like a gorilla and don’t get tagged. Instead of using traditional joystick movement, players use their arms to move forward, jump, climb, and launch themselves across open maps. The result is a highly physical, skill-based experience that feels different from most virtual reality games. Originally developed by Another Axiom, Gorilla Tag became popular for its unique locomotion system, social gameplay, and competitive tag modes.
Core Gameplay
In Gorilla Tag, there are no buttons for walking. You move by rolling your arms, climbing trees and walls, and propelling yourself across the environment. The main objective in classic mode is simple:
One infected gorilla tries to tag others.
Once tagged, players become infected and help chase the remaining runners.
The last untagged player wins the round.
Game modes
Gorilla Tag offers multiple modes to keep gameplay fresh:
Classic Tag: Traditional infection-style gameplay.
Infection Mode: Fast-paced elimination where the infected team grows.
Hunt Mode: Each player has a specific target to chase.
Casual Mode: Social play without competitive pressure.
Custom Rooms: Private lobbies for friends.
Maps and environments
Players can explore different maps such as forests, caves, canyons, and city-themed areas. Each environment changes how you move and strategize, encouraging wall climbing, branch hopping, or tight corner escapes.
Gorilla Tag is best experienced in virtual reality and requires physical movement, making it active and engaging. Jump in, master your movement, and see if you can avoid getting tagged.
