FAQ

Do I need to play both parts?

Part one starts on 19 September and part two on 21 November, both running to 31 January. Each takes four to seven hours, so you can do them on separate days.

Do I need a smartphone?

Yes. You need a smartphone with internet and the LINE app; feature phones are not supported and data costs are yours. A spare battery helps on a long day.

Do I need a car?

The organiser lists car, bicycle and walking. The spots are spread across southern Osaka and the game takes four to seven hours including travel.

How long can I take part?

Until 31 January 2027, but it ends when the kits run out, so going early is safer.
