The website includes a brief summary regarding the setting of the event and the characters that will be involved. The murder mystery will follow the premise of the first few episodes. The mystery itself centers around the disappearance and murder of a random individual during the Cotton Drifting festival.

A total of eight people can participate in the event, with a time limit of roughly 210 minutes. Attendees will need to work together to uncover the truth and solve the mystery of the Cotton Drifting festival. The event will be held in Osaka and Tokyo at select locations.
