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