FAQ

Is there a fee to take part?

Taking part is free and the puzzle sheet is handed out at no charge. You do need to add the rally's official LINE account as a friend, so those who do not use LINE cannot join.

Can children join in?

The recommended age is 10 and up, though the organiser says younger children can enjoy it alongside their family. Since the route covers 12 points on foot, allow enough time for breaks along the way.

Where should I start?

You may begin at any of the 12 rally points. The smoothest approach is to pick up a puzzle sheet at one of the distribution spots first, then work outward from the nearest panel.

Until when can I submit my answer?

The organiser has not published an entry deadline; the rally itself runs until 12:00 on Friday 6 November. Winners are to be notified by email and the answers published around early December 2026. Check the official site and LINE account for the latest details.
