Niconico Chokaigi 2026: An Unforgettable Experience

The upcoming Niconico Chokaigi 2026, celebrating its 15th anniversary, promises an exhilarating weekend filled with innovative activities for fans. This year on April 25 and 26, attendees can participate in the highly anticipated "Ultra Death Game," a sensory rollercoaster designed to engage users in intense survival gameplay. With renowned creators from popular series like LIAR GAME and Alice in Borderland lending their expertise, the event is set to be nothing short of extraordinary.

Overview of the Ultra Death Game

The "Ultra Death Game" involves selecting 100 contestants aiming to outmaneuver each other in a battle for survival. Participants will engage in a variety of mini-games that can include logical strategies akin to Werewolf, card games, and interactive paper-and-pencil challenges. Each session lasts for 50 minutes, and players must showcase psychological prowess to emerge victoriously. Those curious about stepping into the vessel of thrill can compete directly, while others can become "patrons," betting on their favorite players and observing the intense drama unfold.

For those who endure the challenges and claim victory, a unique prize—a commemorative T-shirt—awaits. Expect twists and surprises throughout the game, as even eliminated players can reincarnate as sponsors, continuing their engagements without missing a beat. Additionally, patrons will have the opportunity to predict the winners, with successful participants receiving original stickers as a reward.

Special Advisors for the Event

Adding to the event's allure, Shinobu Kaitani, creator of LIAR GAME, and Haro Aso, the mind behind Alice in Borderland, will serve as special advisors, providing their creative insights and perspectives. Both have expressed excitement about returning to death game themes and challenging fans. Below are a few highlights from their comments:

Shinobu Kaitani: "It's been a while since I've felt the thrill of death games, and I'm excited to dive into this real-life version. The challenge of predicting the ultimate winner among 100 participants will be quite a test!”

Haro Aso: "I can't help but feel excitement imagining participants desperately contending for survival. I might be in disguise myself, enjoying the show as a patron on the day!"
