Experience the Exciting VR Meow Wolf Adventure for Yourself!

When I peer into the chirping, beeping, and glowing depths of a cave, I see a jungle world awaiting. Creatures flap their wings and a tall-legged beast tiptoes across a vast pond. I witness the reflection and think I could dive into it. As I fall through, I arrive in another world. Now, where’s my golf ball?

An art collective, Meow Wolf, crafts psychedelic art installations that are immersive and interactive. I’ve explored them before, but this time, it was from my home office. I was wearing a VR headset, and I took a trip to an unimaginably alien miniature golf course. You can do the same if you have a VR headset nearby.

Meow Wolf’s debut in VR has emerged as an add-on course for the popular game, Walkabout Mini-Golf. This world, while enchanting, can only accommodate 18 holes. I’ve golfed, roamed, and floated through it. This world sounds like Meow Wolf. It looks like Meow Wolf. And as I delve into it, I’m transported back to my visit to the collective’s Convergence Station in Denver, as the entire VR world is inspired by the living alien forest experience inside that physical space, a place called Numina.

Walkabout Mini-Golf’s creators come from backgrounds at Disney Imagineering and immersive entertainment. Over the past year, the app’s add-on courses have become increasingly story-driven and expansive. There are courses based on Jim Henson’s Labyrinth, Jules Verne novels, and the video game Myst. Meow Wolf’s course surpasses that to offer a magical, immersive experience. It marks Santa Fe, New Mexico-based company’s first step toward finding ways for its artist-collective process to apply to virtual experiences, too.

I won’t say too much, as it’s best to enjoy immersive theater or Meow Wolf’s own experiences on your own terms. But I was captivated by the lighting, scale of the space, and the calmly undulating living beings that lurked throughout. The game’s aesthetic features a lot of simple, polygonal shapes, but for me, the effect works like magical origami. Numina, in a headset, encapsulates the visual, and audio essences I loved in Meow Wolf’s real-world realm: it’s maximal, intertwining, whimsical, and unresolved.

I wanted to experience everything. Luckily, in Walkabout you can also fly.

This course also resonates with my love of peculiar gaming. It’s hard to get weirder than What the Golf, and Meow Wolf’s course has bits of that feel. However, this is less game, more art. Sure, I aimed to finish the course and get a good score, but this experience is more about the journey.
