Exciting Opportunity at FORTNITE SHIBUYA!

The recently announced contest, 'What Should We Play in FORTNITE SHIBUYA?', invites participants to unleash their creativity and propose innovative game ideas aimed at solving social issues. Organized by the Game Creators Guild and Tokyu Corporation, this groundbreaking event kicks off on December 8, 2025. The contest aims to engage everyone, from children to adults, to envision a future enhanced by fun activities in the vibrant setting of a digital Shibuya.

What is FORTNITE SHIBUYA?

The 'FORTNITE SHIBUYA' project recreates the essence of Shibuya within the digital landscape of the globally recognized game Fortnite. The original map titled 'SHIBUYATAG—Shibuya Tag' was first revealed during the 'SuSHi Tech Tokyo 2025' conference. This creative endeavor opens the floor for participants to propose fun activities like “What if we could play tag at the scramble crossing with 100 people?” or “How about running a parkour race across building rooftops?” This initiative allows limitless ideas, free from real-world constraints.

Details of the Contest

Participants are encouraged to register through the official website fortniteshibuya.com by submitting their ideas based on the theme, “What Should We Play in Shibuya?”
The contest not only aims to celebrate creative thinking among individuals of all ages—students, professionals, and families—but also encourages inclusive participation. Ideas can be showcased on a Google Slide with a maximum of five pages, allowing for concise yet expressive presentations. Even a single slide is acceptable if it conveys a strong concept.

During these dates, participants have the chance to develop their concepts, brainstorm with peers, and collaborate to submit the best ideas.
