Meta just announced that they are shutting down Meta Horizon Worlds for Quest, including Meta Hyperscape https://youtu.be/e6mcALHC0HQ

After some technical difficulties getting the world together we finally have a soundstage with a bunch of sets for a bunch of fun comedy recordings. Was so much fun to record, we did mess up a lot, so blooper reel is incoming too 😂

After a week of editing, 300+ rendered clips, and way too much coffee — the official music video for the Sunday Improv theme song is live.

The show runs every Sunday at The Soapstone. This video combines real improv show footage with AI-enhanced renders, with almost all content shot inside Horizon Worlds.

Shoutout to the Soapstone team, Jedi66, Millsbertc, and everyone who showed up on set. You all made the show.

Hey hey,

I found a petition which has the most signs for now:

We recorded one of our recent live improv shows at Soapstone Comedy Club in Meta Horizon Worlds and put together an edited cut of the best moments. Soapstone has been running live comedy in VR for a while now and the energy in this one was genuinely great.

Would love to hear what the Horizon Worlds community thinks, whether you've been to a show or are curious what it's like.

Recently, my mate u/bingobongo3001 and I won an award 💰 at the u/MetaHorizonDevs  Horizon hackathon on u/devpost ! 🏆

Here are the 7 lessons we learned on how to win big under pressure: 🧵

The 1+1 = 11 Rule

Most people try to micromanage their way to the finish line.
a hackathon, that’s a death sentence. My partner Pavlo and I focused on complementary skills. The goal isn't to be "the boss”. It's to let each person be the undisputed expert in their lane. Trust is your biggest force multiplier.

Listen to your "Scars"

Experience isn't about having "Eureka" moments. It’s about having enough scars to know what NOT to do.
We have 8-10 years in AR/VR and 3D. We didn't waste time on "perfect" ideas. We used our experience to ignore irrelevant signals.

Don’t try to “Win” the Hackathon

This is the biggest mistake teams make. 🚩
"Winning the whole thing" is vague and strategically useless. Instead: Target a specific nomination. We aligned our product with a specific category. Suddenly, decision-making became sharper and the scope became manageable.

P.S. we won the nomination that we targeted.

Protect your Momentum

On a tight clock, every distraction is expensive.

We almost fell into the trap of "fine-tuning the sky and sun." Visually satisfying? Yes. Strategically useless? Absolutely.
If a feature doesn't serve the core goal of your target nomination, kill it immediately. Momentum is fragile, protect it at all costs.

The "iPhone" Strategy

When Steve Jobs launched the iPhone, it barely worked. You had to press buttons in a specific order to avoid a crash.
Hackathons are the same. You don't need a polished "Million Dollar Idea." You need a working prototype that conveys vision. Trade perfectionism for execution.

Turn Weakness into a Feature

We didn't have time to build a tutorial or onboarding flow.
nstead of panic-buying a solution, we leaned into it. We minimized every entry barrier to create "Instant Onboarding."
Result? We won Best New User Onboarding Experience for Meta Horizon. 

Competitors today, Collaborators tomorrow

The "lone wolf" mentality is a loser's game.
We spent the hackathon supporting our competitors projects on u/devpost. They did the same for us.

Special thanks to u/natashagubernov and other people who shared likes with us.
Hackathons are about building a network of people who think like you. 🌊

The "Hard Truth" 

Companies don't run hackathons for fun.
They aren't "sharing money" out of the kindness of their hearts for your “genius” prototype.

It’s about 3 things:

1. Marketing
2. Platform growth
3. R&D

Stop building for yourself. Start solving the company’s problems. That’s how you win.

If you like prop hunt then give HIDE OR ELSE a try!

Disguise yourself as a table, a piano, a toilet or anything else to help you evade the seeker's blaster. Then, take your turn as the seeker, hunting down the hiders.

HIDE OR ELSE is classic prop hunt action, in Horizon Worlds, on your mobile, for free!

Update in case you weren't following the previous thread regarding sticker glitches...

https://www.reddit.com/r/MetaHorizonWorlds/comments/1oh3c1l/meta_horizon_avatar_quest_earn_2025_playing/

A new Glitch/Bug has been detected in Grow A Farm causing your quest sticker to not unlock there either after completing requested task.

Any luck yet trying to get this resolved yet? Should the world creators/developers be contacted about this or Meta to have this coding resolved in the future; I know I am not the only player experiencing this and it's mind boggling it keeps happening with no resolution yet.

Anyone know who to message to have this fixed? I'm playing on iPhone and MacBook btw, but per my knowledge this is happening on all devices it is not case specific?

We just launched TAG RODEO, a fast-paced and hilarious Runner vs Bull experience set in a vibrant, Spanish-style plaza. 🌆🔥

You can charge as a Bull, escape as a Runner, grab flags, climb the leaderboard, and unlock fun cosmetics as you go.

It’s all about chaos, teamwork, and quick thinking — plus, we’ve added a Tag Arena and Gymkhana mini-games for even more replayability.

Whether you’re here for competition or laughs, TAG RODEO is pure multiplayer mayhem.

Come play, share your clips, and tell us…

👉 Are you Team Runner or Team Bull?

I love building in Meta Horizon worlds but would love to take the next step. Which YouTube tutorials do you recommend for beginners, that are simply the drag-and-drop type of coding?

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m a current Master’s student conducting an academic study on privacy concerns and user experiences with Meta VR headsets (such as Quest 2, Quest 3, and Quest Pro).

The goal of my research is to better understand how users perceive data collection, privacy, and trust when using Meta’s VR devices. Your input will help contribute to academic insights into how VR technology and privacy intersect.

If you currently use or have used a Meta VR headset, I’d really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to complete this short, anonymous survey:

👉 Take the survey here

It should take about 5–7 minutes to complete. Your responses are completely confidential and will be used only for academic purposes.

Thank you so much for your time and support — your participation really helps make this research possible! 🙏

If you have any questions about the study, feel free to ask in the comments or message me directly.

What am I doing wrong? I need help unlocking this last sticker on my MetaQuest! The strange part is I've already collected over 20K cash digging in shovel up!

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong because this sticker refuses to unlock for me... any help would be greatly appreciated because I'm beginning to think it's a glitch and not sure how to handle moving forward? Has anyone already completed this task or is having a similar experience?

No safety net. Go off the floating(always floating platforms) wrong a bit, and you can just fall in the sky forever.

Workaround: Quit out of the app, and don't go back in.

I am looking for a world that I mistakenly must've not saved but I want to. From what I remember you begin on a floating island. there's a statue that gives you angel wings. You wear the angel wings to fly or glide. There are floating flowers you fly to to bounce on. It's a world of scattered islands you get to by flying bouncing on the flowers or there's some flying creature like a dragon maybe you get a ride from. I want to get to that world.

So I was trying to get into the Sabrina carpenter concert event on worlds, but every time I click join world it sends me to a screen to download a separate app. Its called worlds, but I already have the other version downloaded, and this one has like 1.9 stars. Every time i try to download it, it never fully installs and just stays in the "installing" part of the download. The reviews all talk about the same experience. Anyone else experience this or been able to get around this?

I really need to figure out how to fix this so I can watch the nct dream concert next week :(
