Taiko Time 14th Anniversary Scavenger Hunt!

Taiko Time is FOURTEEN as of 2024/07/31! Thank you for making us your go-to source for English-language news about the Taiko no Tatsujin series these 14 years. Instead of the usual anniversary quiz, we are switching things up a bit this year with a Scavenger Hunt!

How to Play
  1. Figure out which track the clues are referring to.
  2. Each colored cell can have one letter, number or symbol (like stars, hearts and dashes). Ignore all spaces.
  3. For tracks with the
    SongID
    marker, answer with the SongID
  4. Use the letters in the yellow cells to construct the final clue and use it to figure out the Final Track.
