Is Scary Baboon Reimagined the VR Game? What the Roblox Experience Is About

Quick answer

No — Scary Baboon Reimagined is not the VR game itself. It is a separate Roblox experience made by the verified group VertexLabs, built as a remake of the VR title Scary Baboon by Enver Studio LLC. In the Roblox version, you are trapped in an abandoned lab with roaming monsters: collect scrap, sell it at the shop for gear, and stay alive.

• Not the VR original — a Roblox remake that credits the VR game Scary Baboon by Enver Studio LLC.
• Core loop: collect scrap, sell it at the shop for gear, and use that gear to keep yourself alive.
• Each monster hunts its own way: some hear every step, some only move when you look away, and some guard the elevators.
• Up to 20 players per server, and you can team up with friends to survive together.

Is it the VR game, or something else?

It's something else — the Roblox take on the VR game. The experience currently listed as [👁️‍🗨️MIMIC] Scary Baboon Reimagined is published by VertexLabs, a verified Roblox group, while the original Scary Baboon is a VR title by a different developer, Enver Studio LLC.

The relationship is spelled out in the Roblox game's own description: "This game is a remake of the VR game Scary Baboon, so thank you to Enver Studio LLC for creating it!" So VertexLabs built its own Roblox version of the VR game's concept and openly credits the original creator — it is a separate Roblox experience, not the original VR title itself and not an Enver Studio release.

That distinction matters when you're picking what to launch: if you searched for the VR game and landed on this Roblox experience, what you found is the remake, and it's the remake this page describes. One thing current sources don't settle: whether this Roblox version itself can be played in VR. The credit to the VR original is about the remake relationship only — it says nothing about headset support here — so treat VR compatibility as unverified. The quickest way to confirm you have the right one is the creator line — the game to launch is the one by VertexLabs, currently carrying the MIMIC tag after its November 2026 update.

What the experience is actually about

Scary Baboon Reimagined drops you into an abandoned laboratory, and you're not alone in it. Monsters roam the halls, and each one hunts in its own way — the game is built around those different hunting styles. Around them runs a core loop that keeps you equipped and alive:

The core loop

1. 01

   Collect scrap

   Search the abandoned lab and gather scrap.

2. 02

   Sell it at the shop

   Trade the scrap you picked up at the shop for gear.

3. 03

   Gear up and survive

   Use the gear you bought to keep yourself alive.

Staying alive is what feeds the loop: the gear you buy keeps you alive to keep collecting scrap.

Two rules of thumb sit on top of that loop. First, it's built to be shared — you can team up with friends and try to survive together (the how to play with friends guide gets a group set up). Second, the game itself rewards staying quiet and avoiding being caught, so caution is the advertised way to make it through a run.

Each monster hunts differently

The monsters are the heart of the game, and the three hunting styles its description calls out each change what you have to watch:

• Sound hunters — some monsters hear every step, so the noise you make is what gives you away. The sound sensitive monsters page covers them.
• Look-away monsters — some only move when you look away, so whether they hold still or close in depends on where your eyes are. See look away monsters.
• Elevator guards — some guard the elevators, which makes an elevator exactly the kind of place a monster can be waiting. See elevator monsters.

Which style you're facing decides what to control: your footsteps, your line of sight, or the route you take out of an area. The full roster is on the monsters page.

Where to start

If that setup sounds like your kind of game, the beginner guide covers the fundamentals, and all maps shows the areas the game has. Since the loop starts with scavenging, how to find scrap covers that first step, and the shop guide covers what to do with it once you've sold it.
