The night event, titled "Attack on Titan THE NIGHT WALK - Beyond the Walls -," involves a 1.2-kilometer trek through the forest after dark. Utilizing advanced projection mapping and immersive soundscapes, this activity allows participants to assume the roles of new recruits in the Survey Corps. They join characters like Eren Yeager in a battle for freedom against the Titans, culminating in a rewarding original card exclusive to Nijigen no Mori.
During daytime hours, the event includes the "Attack on Titan Stamp Rally in Nijigen no Mori," where fans collect stamps of characters in original illustrations using a dedicated booklet. Additionally, a second phase, "Attack on Titan Mystery Quest - Nijigen no Mori Edition / At-Home," will be introduced later. In this puzzle-solving game, participants assist Hans Zoe in Titan research, unraveling mysteries both at the park and remotely. The start date for this phase will be announced in the future.
