The Experience

I’ll admit, I didn’t expect to sweat this much inside a dark room wearing a headset in Willemstad. But there we were at Arcane VR, laughing too loud and bumping into each other (gently — the staff warned us). The place doesn’t look like much from outside, but once you walk in, the air’s cool and smells faintly of electronics and that weird new-plastic scent. Our host, Jairo, grinned as he handed us our headsets — “Don’t worry if you scream,” he said. “It happens.”

The briefing was quick but friendly — not stiff at all. Jairo showed us how to adjust the straps (I fumbled with mine until my friend fixed it), then explained the controls in English and Papiamentu. We picked the zombie survival game because honestly, none of us wanted to admit we were scared of the horror escape room. When the goggles went on, everything changed: suddenly it was just us and these weird digital shadows moving around. I could hear my friend’s nervous laugh somewhere behind me; you sort of forget you’re still on Curacao for a minute.

I got way too into it — ducking behind fake crates, shouting directions that made no sense (“Left! No, your other left!”). The staff watched from outside but chimed in when we got stuck or confused. There was this moment when I reached out to touch a wall that wasn’t really there; my hand just waved through nothing. Kind of embarrassing but also kind of magic? Afterward we took off our headsets and everyone looked sweaty and dazed but happy. Jairo asked if we wanted to try another round or just chill out for photos.

We ended up hanging around longer than planned, swapping stories about who panicked first (me), trying to pronounce some Dutch words on the posters (badly), and just letting that weird mix of adrenaline and relief settle in. I still think about how real it felt — even though it’s all pixels and sound effects. If you want something totally different while you’re in Curacao, this is it.
