Hey OzBargain community!
We've got a new update coming this week to Richie's Plank Experience, and to celebrate we're giving you 50% off for a limited time. Just use the code PLANK50-96EE80 at the Quest checkout and it'll automatically apply the discount.
If you've already played, please feel free to share the code with friends and family and get them to walk the plank in VR. Always worth it to see their reactions!
Buy a new Meta Quest headset from any retailer and both referee and referrer will get A$47 in Meta Quest Store credit once the headset is activated.
The update is all about the bonus "Hero Academy" mode, which are 3 VR flying minigames where you fly around the city and try get the best time possible. We've overhauled the games with global/local leaderboards and also added super accurate hand tracking so you can fly and play them using just your hands. It works really well!
Did it have a big price drop in addition to the 50% discount? I swear it was over AUD 20 recently. AUD 4 is close to its correct value imho.
Good spotting - the price has changed across some regions. Unfortunately, a few blatant copies have appeared recently and we want to remind players there's a reason why Richie's Plank Experience is the most popular VR plank app.
Purchased, thanks.
Is the flying experience any good?
Does it beat any other flying experiences available in VR?
I mean I'm personally pretty biased, but it's a pretty fun experience! Particularly if you've got a Quest 3 and can control it using the hand tracking. Works surprisingly well.
They're short minigames, but if you're a sucker for chasing a high score, then you'll probably get a kick out of playing them and trying to get the quickest times.

Surely we can’t ignore this classic. I’ve laughed at this hundreds of times
I can't believe that's real! 🤣
Darn, I paid $19.99 a couple of weeks ago!
Discounted to $4.00 rather than $3.99 for me.
I know this is ozbargain and we are tight arses but cmon!
Let me know your PayPal account and I'll personally send you a single cent. No joke.
I've seen Superman 3 so know what those 1 cents can become…
I'm Google'ing "Superman 1 cent" right now !
@6828: Yes it's just like that scene from Kraven the Hunter: "She died not long after that trip, and I never saw her again".
I haven't got a Quest but it gets a +1 from me for the Rep's participation and quick responses.
Only the best for my fellow Ozbargainers!
BTW, a colleague who owns a Quest tells me …that "game" and its developers should burn in the pits of hell. I have it and i swear i almost died the first time i walked the plank. That was said with a grin, so I guess it's a good indication that you've managed to capture the realism really well.
I hate vertigo inducing Quest games, but agree its funny to watch other people play them !!
Seeing the reactions seriously never gets old. Always good for a laugh!
Cheers OP! 🍺
No probs! Hope your friends/family enjoy the plank. 🍻
Will the code work on the Canyons Edge addon ?
I don't believe so - almost certain it's only applicable to the base game. Given you paid full price for it only recently though, I'm more than happy to send you a key to the Canyon's Edge DLC. 🙂 Will DM you.
Showing as $7.50 for me after discount
Weird. Just had a look and it's still $7.99AUD on the store before applying the 50% off discount code.
Oh very strange, my account is going to the en-gb store despite everything being in AUD. Fun.
Appeared as the correct price in the headset, so who knows!
Thanks for the discount! I've had this on pc for years and now i have the quest 3 i'm keen to add this to my local library.
It's a staple to show unfamiliar victims how real vr can feel.
I'm going to rev up my Quest 2 just for this. I am excited to scare my partner with this one. Thanks for being responsive and lovely in the comments king.
My pleasure! Been on OzBargain for years and feels good to give back for once.
Couldn't say no to that price. Thanks!
Thanks for the discount OP
This game is revolutionary for VR. A must have. If you have a fear of heights it's crazy what this plank experience does to your brain. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Yeah this and Superhot were the two that messed my brain back when I first tried more modern VR. Superhot more so when out of the game as it seemed odd the world moved when I was still.
Yes! Superhot is a classic. Love that game.
This is a great game and a great experience and one of the first thing I tried when it first came out.
On the contrary, I haven't used the Meta store in a long while but that was the worst experience I ever had (can't add multiple game to cart, new window keep popping up when I tried to add payment etc..)
