How to participate

STEP1　Get a treasure map and decide your level!

First, get a treasure map (participation kit) at the sales counter and decide which level you want to participate in. There are two levels: the Beginner level, which is open to those who can ride the lift No. 1 and ski down, and the Advanced level, which includes explorations on the ski course.

STEP2　Solve the puzzles and head to the site!

Solve the puzzles shown in the treasure map and you will find out where to go. Go to that place. You may have to solve more puzzles there. Once you have solved all puzzles, you will know where the treasure is. Let’s go there.

STEP3　Find the treasure!

When you have found the treasure, fill in the [Discovery Keyword] which is written on the treasure. Once you have found all three hidden treasures of a level and filled in the keywords, head to the reporting desk. If all the keywords are correct, you have completed the game! At the end, you will receive a completion reward.

* You will receive the completion reward if you complete either the Beginner or the Advanced level.
* Even if you have completed both the Beginner and Advanced levels, you will only receive one completion reward per kit.

STEP4　Participate in the lottery!

Once you have finished the game, please answer the questionnaire you will be given at the reporting desk. This will enter you in a lottery where you can win an even more gorgeous prize.
