In the world of Walkabout Mini Golf, players now have the exciting opportunity to test their skills on the iconic Mount Olympus course. Following January’s release of Viva Las Elvis, this marks the latest addition, bringing the total up to 32 courses. According to the studio’s head, Lucas Martell, Mount Olympus is a monumental achievement, surpassing even the scale of last year’s Temple At Zerzura.
The description of this new course adds a mythological flair: perched high above the Aegean Sea is the domain of gods and goddesses. In this celestial arena, the Olympians gather, deciding the fates of mortals through a captivating game of mini-golf. As players navigate their way through the course, they’ll encounter elaborate temples, mythical scenery, and tricky obstacles, all under the watchful eyes of the Olympian Council. Succeed, and glory is yours; fail, and face the gods’ displeasure.
As you ascend Mount Olympus, expect to see temples and tributes to iconic figures from Greek mythology such as Zeus, Apollo, and Artemis. Our extensive walkthrough with Walkabout’s creator, Lucas Martell, offers 28 minutes of fascinating insights—our longest tour yet into the making of this game.
I recently had an engaging conversation with Mighty Coconut’s senior art director, Don Carson, who shed light on their creative process. Their goal is to exceed expectations by employing a layered design strategy. This ambitious process takes over a year, with teams passing the torch in a collaborative relay. Today, the studio, affectionately known as the Coconuts, boasts a team numbering in the dozens.
Fresh off the success of Elvis with its record-breaking sales day in the game’s nearly five-year history, it’s exciting to see if Mount Olympus will continue drawing players back for more adventures—and perhaps entice them with new offerings from the store.
Walkabout Mini Golf is readily accessible on all major headsets and iOS platforms, inviting players everywhere to embark on this mythical golfing journey.
