About HelloWorld Rogaining
HelloWorld Rogaining is a mission-based activity that allows elementary, junior high and high school students to walk around the city, engage in intercultural exchange, and practice their English speaking skills while tackling missions with English speakers.
A team of about six students and an English speaker communicate only in English and complete various missions such as finding checkpoints, solving quizzes, filming videos, etc., while competing for points.
So far, the event has been held at Mihama American Village and Shurijo Castle (Okinawa Prefecture), Minato-mirai (Yokohama City) and several other locations. In just over two years, a total of more than 10,000 people have experienced the joy of international exchange through this program. The activity is fun and light-hearted that even children who are beginners can have a good time and enjoy communicating in English.
