Manually ENABLING Save GAMES

In order to read & write save games Puzzling Places - Beta needs read and write permissions.
When starting the app the first time you usually will be asked if you want to allow the app to be able to have access to files - please select ALLOW here.

Occasionally that dialogue seems to not show up properly (even after clicking on our little warning indicator). Fortunately there is way to enable necessary permissions manually to ensure the save games work:

  1. In the Oculus Home menu, select Apps and scroll to Puzzling Places - Beta

  2. Click on the three dots on the Puzzling Places - Beta image to open the menu and select permissions.

  3. In the menu, click Storage and set it to allow.

  4. That’s it, the warning should be gone and save games working!
