Hijinx Hotel – A thrive* Excursion

Part of thrive*'s new excursion series, bite-sized adventures for VU students to try something different and meet people along the way. 

Hijinx Hotel is a playground of ball pits, giant floor pianos, and upside-down corridors, an immersive challenge-room experience where your team competes for points on the leaderboard. 

You will be playing in teams of 4–5. Coming solo or in a smaller group? No worries, most people will be. You'll be placed in a team and grouped up with other students on the day, so come ready to meet some new people. 

Some challenges have you moving around to score points, nothing marathon-level, more like a vigorous game of musical chairs, so wear something you can move in. 

Date & time: August 7, 2026 11am-12.30pm 

Location: Meet at Hijinx Hotel reception: Hijinx Hotel QV Melbourne, 12 Albert Coates Ln, Melbourne VIC
