PROJECT RECIPE / No. 01

Shopping Street
Stamp Rally

Just place QR codes at local spots to manage check-ins and visit records. Give participants digital gifts and create a reason for people to explore and visit. Like a goshuin book (a book of temple seals), the stamps they collect stay with them to look back on later.

Guardians of the Artisans: Roads to the Spoon

A location-based smartphone RPG set in the Tsubame-Sanjo area. Players visit more than 50 "sacred sites", check in with QR codes, and collect "Magic Spoon" NFTs to take on magical beasts. Over the roughly 7.5-month run, 203 unique users made 816 check-ins, and 1,323 NFTs were distributed.

Guardians of the Artisans: Roads to the Spoon

Linked with hands-on events,
a regional RPG scaled up

QR check-ins at 48 spots across Tsubame-Sanjo, including workshops, facilities and roadside stations. Supported by the reach of local events (such as the Festival of Factories and Sanjo Marché) and a game design built around special-move skills, the core users kept up their pilgrimages right through to the final day.
