✅ Eligibility

All Minted Characters that have completed the “[Hyper Summer] An Invitation to VIP” quest.

👉 How to Participate

1. For characters that meet the eligibility requirements, an invitation will be sent above their head every hour at the 15-minute and 45-minute marks.
2. Click the invitation above your character's head to accept, and your character will be automatically moved to the waiting map after a short moment.
3. Upon entering the waiting map, all of your character's active buffs will be reset and cannot be activated until the end of the game. Once the waiting time ends, you will move to the game map and can confirm your randomly assigned team through your character's uniform when the game starts.
   • ※ However, if the number of participants is fewer than 10, the minigame will not proceed, and you will be automatically returned from the waiting map to your previous map.
4. After the game ends, you will move to the exit map to receive Gold Richie Coins and EXP based on the game results.

🎮 How to Play

Lead your team to victory by scoring more goals than the opposing team within the 3-minute time limit!

[Game Details]

• The game is played in a 5v5 format with a total of 10 players, and will be canceled if there are not enough players within the waiting time limit.
• Each game lasts for 3 minutes, and the team that scores more goals within the time limit wins.
• Once the game starts, you will be randomly assigned to either the 'Red' or 'Blue' team, which you can confirm through your uniform.
• You can use the arrow keys to move, the Ctrl key to 'Shoot', and the Alt key to 'Dash'.
• If you contact another character while using 'Dash', you can stun them for 2 seconds. If that character was in possession of the ball, you will steal possession.
• For a ball with no possession, the first character to make contact will gain possession. The ball placed in the center at the start of the game or a ball flying after another character's shoot counts as a ball with no possession.
• Scoring in the opposing team's goal adds to your team's score, and the 'personal score' is awarded to the character who last held possession of the ball. However, if an own goal is scored, no 'personal score' is given, but the goal will normally count toward the opposing team's score.
  • If you score two own goals, you will be forcefully expelled, and your team must continue the game without you.
• A goal is recognized only if the ball touches or crosses the white line in front of the goal.
• When a goal is scored, a new ball will appear in the center line with no possession.

🎁 Rewards

Claim your commemorative rewards based on the game results after the hot match ends!

[Character-based Rewards]

• Each time you clear this minigame, you will receive a certain amount of event coins and EXP at the end of the game based on the results.
  • However, this daily limit is shared with other events (Washed Up Guests, Aqua Adventure) up to a maximum of 400 event coins per day.
  • The amount of EXP distributed varies depending on your level range, and is awarded based on your gameplay time. However, if your total daily gameplay exceeds 120 minutes, you can no longer receive subsequent rewards.
