The event will run from July 24 through November 3, and each play period lasts for two weeks. Participants purchase a puzzle-solving kit via a special sales website or at designated sales locations, then redeem it at specified exchange points. The price is 3,300 yen (tax included).
In addition, a limited run of 40,000 sets of the “‘Chiikawa: The Movie’ Tokyo Metro Original 24-Hour Ticket” will be sold. The price is 1,500 yen (tax included). Sales will take place from July 10 through November 3, and tickets can be purchased via the special sales website.
