In an effort to address the challenges faced by job seekers, Kakehashi Sky is hosting a one-of-a-kind event on September 1st, 2026, known as the "Real Puzzle Matching Event." This immersive experience combines puzzle-solving with a unique strengths assessment, set in a thrilling escape room-style game designed for university students anticipating graduation in 2027 and 2028, as well as recent graduates.
What is the Real Puzzle Matching Event?
The event is built around a virtual space called "Shuukatsu Art Online," where participants are immersed in a gripping escape room scenario. Entrapped in a world of mysteries, individuals will collaborate with their teams to decipher clues within a time limit, striving to achieve job offers from various companies by completing various recruitment tasks.
The real magic of this event lies in the natural behavior participants exhibit while tackling the puzzles, which often reveals essential skills like communication, critical thinking, and decision-making that are usually hard to gauge in traditional interviews.
Discover Your Unique Strengths in Three Steps
The event unfolds in three engaging steps:
1.
Solving Mysteries: Take on the mission of escaping the "Job Hunting Simulation" while working with teammates to unravel clues under time constraints.
2.
Strength Assessment Survey: Participants' behaviors during the puzzle-solving phase will directly reflect in an analysis of their strengths. Using a proprietary app, they will undertake personality and behavior analyses, culminating in personalized feedback sheets. This sheet will provide insights into personality traits, observed behaviors within the team, and an understanding of personal strengths and areas for improvement.
3.
Matching with Top Companies (Post-Event): After the event concludes, career advisors from Kakehashi Sky will recommend participants to high-quality companies based on their performances and feedback from the event. Winning teams will also receive recognition, broadening their opportunities to connect with reputable companies.
