Before Rec Room's FirstEA (Jun 1st Build) there existed this locked playtest build sent to an unknown amount of people. Cameron Brown sent out a post on the r/Vive subreddit which stated.

"Hey r/vive… we are a small VR game developer based in Seattle. We are making Rec Room, a virtual reality social club where you play active games against competitors from all around the world! Here's a sneak peek at a very early test of our avatar system:

That's me looking into a mirror in the changing room, and one of our other devs joined my game to say hi!

Online multiplayer is a major focus for us, and we could really use some help testing out the performance of the games under real-world conditions. We'd also love to get feedback on any and all aspects of the game. It's early days for Rec Room, for our company, and for VR in general. So there's a lot of learning to do!

​We won't be ready for testing for another couple of weeks​ (so end of May), but I thought I'd start asking now to get a sense for how many people out there might be willing/able to help us out.

If this seems interesting to you, and you'd like to be part of bringing Rec Room to VR by providing "real world" feedback, let's talk!

EDIT: This is awesome! Thanks so much everyone, really looking forward to sharing the game with you. We've been having a lot of fun with it internally, hoping it's as much fun "in the wild". As I mentioned, we're a couple of weeks away from actually sending links to builds, so I will reach out to each of you as the time approaches.

I'm currently gathering a group of people to go search for this build. If you would like to contribute to find one of Rec Room's lost builds please DM me on discord @beancarried

Notes

If the build is found RebornRec will not be needed to play alone since this predates RecNet This build has Early Dodgeball, Disc Golf (Frisbee) and a training / practice mode for dodgeball?) Pre dates FirstEA by 15 days if the build was built on May 17th
