Dive into a Unique Mystery Adventure in Kawazu!

From February 7 to March 8, 2026, Kawazu Town will host a thrilling mystery-solving event titled "The Clockwork Cherry Blossom Town: Unravel the Secret of the Dream Entrusted to You". This captivating event invites participants to explore the picturesque cherry blossom trees that line the town while engaging in a unique 3D mystery adventure.

What to Expect

This event combines location-based gameplay with an innovative 3D puzzling experience, far removed from traditional 2D riddles. Participants will be required to shift their perspectives in a 360-degree environment, revealing clues hidden within the app's narrative. This interactive design immerses players in a storyline that unfolds as they decode puzzles throughout their scenic walk in Kawazu.

With every puzzle solved, participants watch as cherry blossoms bloom in a parallel world, enriching their experience as they walk along the scenic cherry blossom path in a breathtakingly beautiful setting.

The Story Behind the Event

In the mystical parallel world of Sakurazaki Town, spring brings forth a torrent of cherry blossoms, but this year is different; the vibrant blooms are mere imitations. The fate of real cherry blossoms lies in the hands of the Cherry Blossom Clock—a timepiece that heralds spring as its hands begin to move.

Unfortunately, this year, the clock remains frozen, and with it, the town has succumbed to a cherry blossom drought, engulfing its residents in uncertainty.

Mio, the daughter of the clockmaker, is determined to uncover the reason behind this mysterious freeze, drawing upon her family’s legacy as the descendants of the legendary clockmaker who crafted the Cherry Blossom Clock. Participants will step into Mio's shoes, teaming up with her to solve the enigma surrounding the stuck clock, working to restore the beauty of spring to both their worlds.
