Background
In 2024, transcosmos began using Metaverse gaming to encourage younger generations and overseas visitors to see Shibuya's urban challenges as their own. Centered on the themes of "Join" and "Find," the new game offers interactive experiences where players engage in quests to discover Shibuya's culture and learn good manners. With rewards such as badges and special items, the game delivers a blend of fun and learning.

 Additional collaborations will follow, leveraging the distinctive opportunities created by city-originated events. The first partnerships include a new collaborative experience with JELEE—an artist known for Tamagotchi, BEYBLADE, as well as an anime series Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night to generate buzz and encourage repeat play.

Comments from each company
 Mr. Ken Hasebe, Mayor of Shibuya Ward 
Halloween in Shibuya faces challenges due to troublesome behavior, but it's important to create an environment where everyone can enjoy the event safely. I believe this this initiative offers a meaningful opportunity for people around the world to experience Shibuya's culture and good manners through a digital space like Roblox. 
I hope Shibuya continues to be an exciting place for all—both in the real world and the virtual one.
 Mr. Ari Staiman, Head of Roblox Japan 
I'm honored that Roblox was chosen as the platform for this new initiative led by Shibuya Ward. Roblox is more than just a place to play—it's a place for creativity and connection. I'm thrilled to collaborate with Shibuya Ward to shape a new kind of Halloween experience that is both safe and enjoyable for many.
 Ms. Shinko Osada, President of Future Design Shibuya 
Throughout the year, the Shibuya Good Manner Project promotes a culture of creating a safe, secure, and clean city—while ensuring that people can enjoy the experience. This initiative builds on that philosophy by showcasing Shibuya's charm and enabling players to contribute to the city in a digital space. It also brings significant value by offering a globally accessible experience through Roblox. As we introduce a new way to enjoy Halloween, we will continue expanding these efforts throughout the year.

We're honored to once again run this project that aims to address Shibuya's social challenges through a Metaverse game.

This project was launched in just about two months from the planning phase. Together with Future Design Shibuya and other partners, we'll continue refining a model that delivers both fun and social impact, providing value that inspires behavior change.
