About this event
Accept a challenge from Leonardo da Vinci and take on five riddles while exploring the forests and sea of Shonan Village in this wandering mystery-solving rally. All riddles are designed so they cannot be solved without carefully observing real nature, allowing participants to experience Da Vinci's learning method of "Observation -> Conception -> Verification" through play. After registering at the reception, participants access a dedicated website on their smartphones to receive a map and answer sheet. Search for and scan QR codes set up in five areas of the village to reveal the riddles, and work together with companions to find the answers while observing the surrounding nature. Challengers who solve all five riddles will receive a final message from Da Vinci. Following the mystery solving, there is also an opportunity to try Da Vinci's "Mysterious Contraptions," engaging with the wonders of natural science and Da Vinci's creativity. In the event of rough weather, the course may be moved indoors.
