Additionally, the store will host mini-games inspired by memorable scenes from the series, such as “I’m Back! Memetaaa!

“THE★JOJO WORLD” aims to be more than just a store and has been envisioned as a destination that invites “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” fans from across the globe to embark on their own “bizarre adventure” through a variety of engaging experiences.

Let’s take a look at the range of attractions and mini-games that fans of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure will be able to experience at the new “THE★JOJO WORLD” store when it opens this summer!

Attraction: “Stand Ability Research Institute”

This interactive attraction will allow visitors to measure their inherent physical abilities through the completion of six distinct actions.

Based on their performance in these activities, participants will receive a diagnosis identifying the “Stand” from the approximately 120 “Stands” featured in the “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” anime series that most closely aligns with their measured aptitudes.

Following the completion of the test, participants will be provided with a digital image of their personalized Stand diagnosis via a scannable 2D code.

Mini-game 1: “I’m back! Memetaaa! Ripple Roulette ~ Ripple energy is the power of ‘Sendo’!!”

This mini-game draws its inspiration from the iconic sound effect “Memetaaa” uttered when Zeppeli demonstrated the power of Ripple energy to Jonathan by striking a frog on a rock.

Participants will engage by attempting to “punch” the frog on the virtual rock when prompted by a signal from Zeppeli.

The resulting condition of the rock and the frog will determine the participant’s rank in the game, and based on this rank, they will receive one of the following prizes:

A Prize: Acrylic board featuring exclusive artwork.
B Prize: Holographic badge with a unique design.
C Prize: Die-cut sticker showcasing a memorable character or Stand.

Mini-game 2: “Aim for a home run! Oh, That’s a Baseball!!”

This mini-game is inspired by the memorable television baseball game “Oh! That’s baseball!!” that Jotaro Kujo played during his intense confrontation with Terence T. D’Arby.

Participants will press a controller button at a designated signal after a virtual ball is thrown, and the timing and accuracy of their press will determine their grade based on the condition of the ball.

Depending on the achieved grade, participants will receive one of the following prizes, all featuring the iconic character Jotaro Kujo:

A Prize: A choice between a stylish hat keychain or a convenient drawstring bag featuring Jotaro.
B Prize: An acrylic keychain with a unique Jotaro design.
C Prize: A square can badge showcasing Jotaro.

“IGGY CAFE”

Within “THE★JOJO WORLD,” visitors will find “IGGY CAFE”, a themed eatery where they can indulge in a variety of food and beverage items inspired by the diverse characters and overarching narrative of “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.”

One notable offering will be “Mochimochimochi (Sex Pistols),” available in two distinct versions representing different groupings of Guido Mista’s six Stand members: No.1・2・3 ver. and No.5・6・7 ver.

“Iggy Shrine ~Coffee Gum Fortune~”

At the unique “Iggy Shrine” visitors can have their fortune told by Iggy himself at a sand shrine created using the power of his Stand, The Fool. Following this intriguing experience, participants will receive a fortune slip presented in the style of a piece of coffee gum packaging, adding a playful touch to the traditional fortune-telling concept.

In addition to the interactive attractions and themed cafe, “THE★JOJO WORLD” will offer a wide selection of exclusive original merchandise.
