Explore Atlantis (and Ride a Whale) in the Latest ‘Walkabout Mini Golf’ Lost Cities Course

In Plato’s Timaeus, he wrote that the island of Atlantis “disappeared in the depths of the sea.” But for some reason the revered philosopher failed to mention the world-class mini golf course that went with it.

Today Walkabout Mini Golf releases Atlantis, the fourth course in Mighty Coconut’s “Lost Cities” series. Was it built by the ancient Atlanteans? By the gods themselves? Impossible to say, but having explored the Gardens of Babylon, Shangri-La, and El Dorado, it’s now time to travel deep beneath the waves and uncover this whimsical ruin-turned-coral-reef and its flourishing inhabitants.

No, not the Atlanteans, they’re long gone. But the ocean teems with life here! Take a moment between holes and admire the several hundred fish swimming through the city’s marble ruins, or take a more active approach and hop on a humpback whale, sea turtle, stingray, or shark for a ride that would make Poseidon (or as Mighty Coconut calls him, “Sea Daddy”) jealous. Don’t worry—the notoriously vengeful sea god only makes an appearance here as a colossal statue.

Atlantis gets even more otherworldly at night, with the unlockable Hard Mode transforming the ancient ruins into a bioluminescent wonderland. It’s a gorgeous and serene backdrop to one of the most challenging Walkabout Mini Golf courses to-date. Look closely, and you might even find some long-lost treasures of the deep…

"Atlantis represents a huge push forward for us in a lot of directions, artistic and technical,” said Walkabout Mini Golf course designer Henning Koczy. “More detail, more colors, more polys, more sun-rays, more swaying plant-life, faux-caustics over every surface, more atmosphere and particulate. More animated characters in the form of large sea life, and the big innovation: a performant system for schooling and rendering hundreds of fish. All of this culminates in one big open, dynamic and immersive world where players can not only play mini golf, but spend hours happily exploring."

The ocean awaits, so gather your most intrepid friends and find out who’s most out of their depth as you brave the sunken ruins of Atlantis. You’ll find it in the Meta Quest Store today for $3.99 USD.
