The production team behind the TV anime Kusuriya no Hitorigoto (The Apothecary Diaries) Season 3 has launched a brand-new interactive campaign called #猫猫謎謎 to coincide with the new season’s broadcast. The initiative challenges fans to solve original riddles tied to the series each week.
How the #猫猫謎謎 Campaign Works
Every Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. JST — ahead of the Friday TV broadcast — a new puzzle will be posted on the official X (Twitter) account and other official channels. Each riddle is designed to lead solvers to a keyword connected to the following episode. The answer is revealed the next Saturday at noon JST. Notably, the puzzles are crafted to be enjoyable even for those who have never seen the anime.
All puzzles are created by Serizawa Nina (芹沢仁菜), a puzzle designer known for works such as Damasare Kaikan Puzzle: Serizawa Nazo.
