Pivot

Pivot is a coop game where 2 to 4 players move a magical couch through a haunted house by moving an actual couch in the real world. Players play as a group of movers who’ve just taken an order to move a couch into the innermost room of a very old house. Little do they know, however, their customer this time is an exorcist, and the couch has magical charms on it that can cast out the ghosts when placed at the right spot. The ghosts, obviously, aren’t going to like that, so they will chase down the movers once they enter the house. The movers’ only hope then is to move the couch to the location and hope that the charm works. The control of Pivot is very straightforward. The in-game couch moves along a pre-determined path, and all three axes of rotation, plus height movement of the real-world couch, will be reflected exactly to the in-game couch. Therefore, by rotating, raising, and lowering the real-world couch, the players can control the in-game couch to avoid obstacles and advance in the map.
