The Top Metaverse Halloween Experiences to Explore This Month

Horizon Worlds

Horizon Worlds is Meta’s current take on the metaverse. Since they created the Oculus, they know exactly how to optimize it for the best – and most terrifying – experiences. Here are our favorites.

It’s worth mentioning that as a streaming V/R platform with user-generated content, Horizon Worlds does have to cut back on graphics. We have a full guide explaining why metaverse graphics are so bad.

Still, it’s great to see how creative so many of its builders can be with those limitations.

Horizon’s Haunted House

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like V/R was made for haunted house experiences.

So, of course I had to visit Horizon’s Haunted House. It was released just in time for the Halloween season, and it’s a great way to kick off the celebrations metaverse style.

For the most part, the haunted house is easy to traverse. Honestly, the hardest part is remembering to keep your weapon in hand (don’t worry, you’ll only be hitting ghosts).

Just sit back, relax, and explore its creepy hallways as you await the next jump scare. This experience is designed to be family-friendly, so the scares aren’t too bad. I keep forgetting that weapons don’t automatically stay in hand in the metaverse as with video games; you actually have to hold them.

There is one puzzle to solve when you get to the top. Since we hate spoilers, we’ll just let you figure that one out.

This world does have extended voice settings. That just means that other participants can hear you from farther away than normal. Keep that in mind when you think you’re just muttering under your breath.
