Solve puzzles with Haru, a fictional shrine maiden from a parallel world (“The Tale of Onogoro”). Journey back 3.5 billion years with David Attenborough and witness the origins of life on our planet (“David Attenborough’s First Life”). With final selections from 11 countries including Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Israel, Australia, the United States, and Canada, the possibilities are endless.
