Grateful Dead Alter Reality Once Again with Upcoming Game
Grateful Dead fans know what they like and, unsurprisingly enough, what they usually like is anything related to the Grateful Dead. In the past, Dead Heads have devoured live, bootleg recordings of any show they could get their hands on, followed the band's tours across the world and, of course, bought nearly anything with those iconic Grateful Dead related symbols emblazened on them. Now, however, the Dead are set to give their fans something entirely different: a virtual reality game.

Grateful Dead’s record label, Rhino Entertainment, has announced work on a new, as-of-yet-untitled game that is currently being developed in partnership with digital entertainment company Curious Sense.
Chief executive of Curious Sense (and self-proclaimed Dead Head) Adam Blumenthal conceived of the upcoming title after gaining serious jam band cred through his previous software development work with acts including REO Speedwagon and Phish.
