"VS Tokimeki Night SPECIAL" (VSトキメキナイト ～VS PARK貸切り大合コン～SPECIAL), an experience-based festival for singles looking for romance, will be held at Yokohama World Porters on Saturday, December 5, 2026. The stage is "VS PARK," an energetic "fun play" (おもしろアソビ) space planned and produced by Bandai Namco Experience Inc., and up to 1,000 people can take part. The event is jointly planned and operated by Bandai Namco Experience Inc. and Linkbal Inc., which runs the event e-commerce site "machicon JAPAN."
The "VS Tokimeki Night" series was held in March, July, and September 2026. This time it scales up to the largest size in the series. In addition to VS PARK Yokohama World Porters, the venue extends to the rooftop overlooking the night view of Yokohama Minato Mirai, making a one-night-only, large-scale festival where people can enjoy both play and interaction.
From 250 People to Up to 1,000: The Largest Edition of the Series
"VS Tokimeki Night" started in March 2026 as an experience-based event for singles, where men and women interact while enjoying the activities at VS PARK. The first event in March drew 217 participants, and tickets for 250 people sold out for the July event. Following this response, the venue expands from inside VS PARK to the rooftop of Yokohama World Porters, and the event is held on a scale of up to 1,000 people, the largest in the series.
The concept of the event is "We were just playing, and before we knew it, we'd become friends." (遊んでたら、気づけば仲良くなってた。)
By moving their bodies together and taking on games as a "shared experience," the event aims to create a place where conversation and interaction come naturally, even among people meeting for the first time.
VS PARK and the Yokohama Minato Mirai Night View: Two Areas for a Large-Scale Event
The event uses two areas: VS PARK on the 4th floor of Yokohama World Porters and a special rooftop venue.
Interacting While Playing at the Reserved VS PARK
VS PARK Yokohama World Porters has 27 types of activities that feel like taking part in a variety show.
On the day of the event, the facility is reserved for participants, who take on the activities together. Laughing, cheering, and competing together create natural openings for interaction that are hard to get from conversation alone.
A Special Rooftop Venue Overlooking the Minato Mirai Night View
A special venue overlooking the night view of Yokohama Minato Mirai is set up on the rooftop.

The venue will have a shared-seating interaction booth (相席交流ブース) and a food area, and games and stage programs for participants are also planned.
Besides playing actively at VS PARK, participants can talk at a relaxed pace while looking at the night view or enjoy food, each interacting in their own style.
Event Design That Creates Natural Interaction Through Activities
Rather than relying on conversation alone, the event uses "shared experiences" such as activities and games as the starting point for interaction.
At the rooftop venue, the planned programs include "Tokimeki QUEST" (トキメキQUEST), in which participants take on a mission together with someone they are interested in, the shared-seating interaction booth, a "Values Bingo" (価値観ビンゴ) game, and stage programs that all participants can enjoy together.
By combining the extraordinary setting of Yokohama Minato Mirai with the experience of having fun moving together that is unique to VS PARK, the event aims to create natural interaction and chance encounters that happen because people meet in person.
