[4th Anniversary Grand Thanksgiving] A summary of tips for conquering the festival area of ​​"Dragon Quest Island"!

Complete 4 mini-games!
Introducing tips for the 4th anniversary event!

Dragon Quest Island, a hugely popular attraction at Hyogo Prefectural Awajishima Park Anime Park Nijigen no Mori, will celebrate its fourth anniversary since its opening on Thursday, May 2025, 5. To commemorate this, a variety of special events will be held in the attraction area titled "Dragon Quest Island 15th Anniversary Thanksgiving Festival," where everyone, from children to adults, can become the main character and have fun!

In this article, we will be teaching you exclusively how to play the four mini-games that can be enjoyed in the "Festival Area" that appeared in the attraction area, "Onokogard Castle"!

Onion slime rolling game

"Onion Slime Rolling Game" is a mini-game in which you roll an onion-shaped ball in an irregular trajectory to aim for vertical, horizontal, and diagonal bingo!
There are three key points to note here!

💡Lay the onion-shaped ball flat and roll it!

The onion-shaped ball has protruding head and bottom, so if you roll it like that, it will roll unevenly and in the wrong direction...
It will roll nicely if you lay it on its side, so it's best to roll it at a 90 degree angle to the side!

💡The head is heavier so it curves a little!

Don't let your guard down just because you've laid your baby on its side! If you compare the head and bottom, the head is a little heavier!
If you just roll it as is, it will curve slightly towards your head, so make sure to calculate the curve when rolling it!

💡Clear with a vertical, horizontal or diagonal bingo!

There are 5 onion-shaped balls to roll! Put the balls into the 3 holes (3x9) and clear the game by getting a bingo vertically, horizontally, or diagonally!
Customers who complete the challenge will receive a gift of a real-life "onion slime" made from onions from Awaji Island disguised as "onion slime"!

Exciting Ring Toss Challenge

The "Exciting Ring Toss Challenge" is a mini-game where you throw rings at pins on a board with monsters drawn on it, including Slime and the Onion King!
There are three key points to note here!

💡Stretch your arm as far as possible and throw from as close as possible!

Aiming is important in quoits. Aiming from a distance is cool, but if you want to be sure to clear it, throwing from close up will increase your chances of success!
Be careful not to go beyond the line drawn at your feet, and stretch your arms out as far as possible and throw from as close to the board as possible!

💡If you throw it too hard it will bounce off! Throw it softly and gently!

The slimes on the board don't just sit there, either. They'll fight until the very end.
If you throw the ring too hard, it may be bounced off the slimes and come off the pin... the trick is to throw it gently!

💡Clear the game by getting into 3 types of monsters!

At the base of the pins on the board are four monsters: Slime, Onion Slime (with or without skin), and Onion King!
You win the game if you can get the rings on the pins of the three monsters! Note that no matter how many pins of the same monster you put in, they only count as one!

Monster Battle Strike

This is a mini-game where you throw a ball at a board a short distance away, similar to Strikeout, and score points by hitting panels with monsters on them!
There are three key points to note here!

💡Keep your eyes on the target until the very end!

Control is important in this mini-game. If you concentrate on throwing, your face will turn to the side or down, making it difficult to control the ball...
Look at the panels until the end and throw the ball at the monster you're aiming at!

💡 Aim for the top half of the panel!

The bottom of this panel is hinged to the frame, so it opens and closes like a door. So it won't fall over even if the bottom half is hit!
If you can hit the ball into the upper half as much as possible, you can hit it cleanly even if the ball isn't very powerful!

💡Clear the game by getting 160 points or more!

You can throw three balls! Clear the game by getting a total of 3 points or more written on the panels you knock down!
It's good to earn points little by little, but if you can defeat the "Rogue Metal" located in the bottom left, you can get 1 points in one shot! Don't give up even if it's the last ball!

Slime Shoot Challenge

This is the first time this year! In this mini-game, you slide the stones that slimes have transformed into towards the target circle in a curling-like fashion, aiming for a high score!
There are three key points to note here!

💡Four stones of different weights!

The four stones - Slime, Onion Slime (with or without skin), and Onion King - each have a different weight!
If you use the same amount of force, the stones won't slide the way you want them to, so adjust the amount of force you use depending on how each stone feels!

💡Pay attention to the placement of the four stones!

Since you throw a total of four times, the stones you throw after the second one may collide with the stones you threw before and knock them away...
Conversely, you can also hit the stone you couldn't reach and knock it back into the circle! Try to think of where to aim depending on the situation!

💡Clear the game by getting 180 points or more!

Throw 4 times and get points depending on the position of the stone remaining in the circle! Clear the game by getting 180 points or more!
Maybe the stone that was in the 10-point area will bounce off with the last throw and go into the 1-point area...!? Again, you never know what will happen until the very end!

Clear the game to get valuable limited items!

By clearing each of the four mini-games, you can get valuable items such as stickers and clear files that can only be obtained here! You can take home the memories of clearing the mini-games as limited edition items!

And those who participate in all four mini-games will receive a limited edition "Dancing Treasure Mini Drawstring Bag" that can only be obtained at "Dragon Quest Island"! What you put in the bag is up to you, the adventurers!

In addition, original 4th anniversary merchandise will be on sale at "Luidia's Tavern" to coincide with the event, and there will be plenty of events and items to celebrate the 4th anniversary! Keep an eye on the "Dragon Quest Island 4th Anniversary Thanksgiving Festival," where many limited-time events will be held! Set off on an adventure to save the world in "Dragon Quest Island," which is finally entering its 5th year of adventure!
