We’ve created clear guidelines to help you understand the event and know what’s expected. Please review them before joining, and if you have any questions, our management team is available through the Support Portal.

The Gacha Garden is a quarterly event opening on the 1st of the month every June, September, December and March. Setup will start at least 3 days prior to opening.

• Setup Dates: You can easily check our Calendar to stay on track with the event schedule.
• Setup Times: All setup start and deadline times are at noon SLT (12 PM PST/3 PM EST/8 PM GMT).
• Early Setup: If you need to set up early, we are happy to accommodate whenever possible. Please reach out in advance to make arrangements.
• Deadlines and Refunds: We strictly enforce all deadlines. Please ensure you’re ready on time, as we cannot offer refunds if the deadline is missed.

To ensure transparency, all gacha items must be named to match the ad. This helps players recognize what they receive and confirm that all items shown are inside the machine.

• Naming Format:
  ITEM NAME – SET NAME – BRAND
• Rare Items: Add  “RARE” after the item name if the item is rare. Ultra-rare items are not allowed.

All gacha ads must meet the following guidelines:

• Ad Requirement: Two square images per set
  You must submit one ad for your gacha items and one for your Seed of Inspiration (SOI). The SOI must not appear on the main gacha ad, as it retires at the end of the event.
• Labeling: Clearly identify all items
  Each item in your gacha ad must be labeled so players can easily match what they receive to what’s shown.
• Image Format: Square dimensions required
  All ad images must be perfectly square (e.g., 1024×1024) to display correctly on the blog and HUD.

• Content Restrictions: No explicit adult material
  XXX or pornographic content is not allowed, including visible genitalia or sexually explicit acts.

Please double-check your ads before submission to ensure they meet all guidelines.

When setup opens, a landmark will be sent to all accepted participants. This will take you to the event setup area where you can pick up your setup kit.

• Sponsor Circle

  • Upon arrival, you will first enter the Sponsor Circle.

  • These machines are reserved exclusively for sponsors and are not available to general participants.

• Creator Circle

  • Outside the Sponsor Circle is the Creator Circle, where general creator machines are located.

  • Creator spots are first come, first serve.

  • The sooner you are ready to set up, the closer to the entrance your machine can be placed.

  • You may not claim a machine until you are fully ready to set up.

• Claiming Your Machine

  • Right-click and purchase your selected machine for L$0.

  • A pop-up will appear asking you to grant debit permissions.

  • If you do not receive this popup or accidentally decline it, reset the machine’s scripts to recall the prompt.

• Loading Your Items

  • Add all common and rare items to the root prim of the machine.

  • Add your Seed of Inspiration (SOI) item to the SOI Board prim.

• Testing and Final Setup

  • Touch the machine and choose “Test” from the menu to ensure all items have the correct permissions.

  • Once confirmed, return to the menu and click “Setup.”

  • Set your price per play and your rare chance.

  • The minimum rare chance is 5%, though we recommend 10% for optimal results.

• BlogSync Landing Pad

  • Rez the BlogSync Landing Pad included in your setup kit in front of your machine.

  • Add your gacha ad image to the pad.

  • Click the pad to submit your image to the blog.

  • If you have more than one machine at the event, place one landing pad per machine.

• Activation

  • Machines will remain inactive until a staff member has tested and activated them.

  • Do not assume your machine is live until you receive confirmation.

Thank you for being part of The Gacha Garden. We’re excited to see what you create!
