On a quest the street hands you these. Four of them run in your browser, built from a tour and the app's own game demo, so nothing gives a hunt away.

Game 01 / Code

Lock box

A combination lock to open

The year the present Thunder Gate was built. The guide just told you.

STOP 2 / THUNDER GATE
Kaminarimon's history reaches back to the tenth century, but the gate in front of you is not that old. Fire destroyed earlier versions repeatedly. The present gate dates to 1960.
1960. It springs open.

Rebuilt with support from Konosuke Matsushita, the founder of Panasonic. In a quest, the street gives the number away.
