Organized by the Travel Study Studio, the event encourages participants to immerse themselves in Tamsui's streets. Using a LINE digital stamp system, visitors can collect stamps by completing tasks and answering trivia questions at participating shops. The goal is to transform casual visitors into engaged explorers, fostering repeat visits and deeper connections with the local community.
By using a light rail day pass as the entry medium, the event integrates digital tracking with real-world exploration.

The initiative seeks to establish a sustainable model for local digital services, encouraging customer flow, retention, and return visits. As participants engage with businesses through the light rail and digital tools, shops can leverage this data to promote future events and seasonal offerings, ensuring Tamsui's local gems gain visibility and attract ongoing patronage.
