Attending Thrive Pavilion Activities in VRChat

Each week, the Thrive Pavilion hosts many activities in VRChat. Unlike Horizon Worlds, the Thrive Pavilion does not have a World in VRChat. Instead, we use a private VRChat group, so Thrive members can find the activities and know only other members are participating.

This page provides an overview of what you need to do to participate in the Thrive Pavilion activities in VRChat.

Step 1: Create a VRChat Account

We recommend you create a VRChat account using an email address and password on the VRChat website.

Please see the Frequently Asked Questions section below if you avidly use VRChat with your Meta Quest (aka. Oculus) account. If you do not use VRChat often with your Oculus account, we recommend creating an account on the VRChat website.

Step 2: Join the Thive Pavilion VRChat Group

Since Thrive uses a private VRChat group, you cannot search for it in the groups section of the VRChat menu. After completing the creation of your VRChat account in step 1, request to join the group on the VRChat website at https://vrc.group/THRIVE.4603.

Step 3: Joining Group Activities

When it’s time for the activity, join the activity’s instance from the group tab on the VRChat menu.

  1. Start the VRChat app on your Meta Quest and log in using the email address and password you created in Step 1.
  2. Open the group tab on the VRChat menu and choose the Thrive Pavilion group.
  3. If a Thrive Pavilion activity is occurring, its world instance will be listed. Click on the join button to be transported to the activity’s instance.
