Minami-Chita Beachland & Minami-Chita Toy Kingdom (Mihama-cho, Chita District, Aichi Prefecture; Director: Mamoru Ishido) will begin offering "Sakana Quest" from September 5 (Saturday) — an aquarium exploration game that uses AI image-recognition technology, described as the first attempt of its kind at an aquarium in the prefecture.
Using a dedicated tablet, "Sakana Quest" invites visitors to search out sea creatures around the park while taking on quizzes and puzzles. It's a new style of hands-on game designed to give families with kids who love fish and other sea creatures a fun way to learn.
