A fun yet challenging game invites attendees to search for characters hidden within the exhibition area. Participants who find them all can enter a raffle for exciting prizes. The highest reward? A figurine resembling themselves!

For creative fans, there’s an engaging workshop featuring Yurushi-to, the mascot character of the 'EVANGELION STORE.'
