Penn & Teller VR: Frankly Unfair, Unkind, Unnecessary, & Underhanded
A VR magic trick game where you're the magician pulling off illusions designed to fool your friends in local multiplayer, it's party game chaos held together by Penn & Teller's irreverent energy.
GamerScout Verdict
Fun as a one-off party trick if your crew digs Penn & Teller's humor; otherwise a niche novelty that doesn't have much replay value solo.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Penn & Teller VR: Frankly Unfair, Unkind, Unnecessary, & Underhanded
I've played enough party games to know that the best ones work because they're genuinely funny when someone loses. Penn & Teller VR leans hard into that chaos: you learn magic tricks in single-player, then unleash them on friends in split-screen or local multiplayer. The tricks range from card manipulations to optical illusions, and the hook is that you're trying to fool people who can see what you're doing on the same screen. It's inherently absurd, which matches Penn & Teller's whole vibe. The VR implementation is straightforward - you're using tracked controllers to perform gestures and manipulations - but the limited review pool (mixed at 64% positive) suggests the appeal is very narrow. This works best as a novelty at a party with people who appreciate the magicians' style of humor. If you're solo or not already a Penn & Teller fan, the tricks wear thin fast.
