New Mystery Solving Adventure with Cocktails

On July 18, 2026, the innovative collaboration between the LIQUOR GAMERS CLUB, led by the creative force Ryo Matsumaru from the mystery-solving group RIDDLER, will unveil the much-anticipated "Mystery Cocktail Series". Two distinct experiences, "The Mystery Martini" and "The Mystery Cassis Orange", will be available for purchase via the RIDDLER online shop.

Having debuted at the Gaming Market 2026 Spring event on May 23-24, these games garnered a tremendous response from enthusiasts and fans alike. The LIQUOR GAMERS CLUB, established in October 2023 and supported by Suntory, aims to provide a unique platform that combines premium spirits and engaging board games to foster genuine connections among people. As alcohol can break down barriers, and board games can unify, this community aims to build a vibrant space for social interaction.

Uniquely Themed Gaming Experience

The "Mystery Cocktail Series" represents the second joint development with RIDDLER following the successful introduction of a similar product at the Spring Gaming Market in 2025. Within these thematic boxes, players will discover envelopes labeled with essential cocktail ingredients like "gin", "dry vermouth", and "orange juice". Employing puzzle-solving techniques to decode these ingredients leads to the final challenge of uncovering the "mystery of the cocktail". Designed for a thoughtful 60 to 90-minute gameplay experience for one or more players, these games offer an ideal way to enjoy cocktails or fine spirits from the comfort of one’s home.

The extension of the series aims to explore different cocktail themes, continually evolving the mystery-solving interactions through the cooperative efforts with RIDDLER. Each cocktail's characteristics will inspire an innovative puzzle experience, promoting a distinctive immersion as players unravel mysteries reminiscent of savoring the essence of a cocktail.
