No introduction, no game instruction, just 60 minutes. Why did the Possible World Jam Session come about, a place where Kizuki can emerge?

"You have to experience it to understand its value."
That sense of frustration has always been with us.
Over the past two years, we've delivered the Possible Worlds Discovery Session in a wide variety of settings. And yet, each time, we have heard the same thing:
"It's a big hurdle to spend two hours on something when I don’t know what I’ll get out of it."
It’s true—Possible World is hard to explain with words. The value lies in personal “Kizuki” moments—insights that are deeply individual and hard to convey.
This created a kind of closed loop:
You need to experience it to understand it → But you can’t understand it without experiencing it, so you hesitate to host or join.
But once you experience it, they feel it. Deeply and lastingly.
After every session, participants tell us:
"I wanted to have more time for dialogue."
"I want to play the game again."
"Two hours wasn't enough."
Those voices led us to a new idea:
Possible Worlds Jam Session
A space stripped down to the core. No explanations, no introduction. Just 60 minutes of experience and dialogue. Could meaningful insights still emerge?
We believed they could—and designed a new kind of session.
At its heart, this Jam Session is for those who’ve experienced Possible World before—a chance to reconnect, co-create, and spark innovation in a light and open format.
But we didn’t want to exclude first-time participants either. So we prepared a couple of short introductory videos to give newcomers just enough to join in.
Of course, mixing experienced and new participants brings some uncertainty. Different levels, different understandings, no time for practice. At first, we were unsure. But then, a thought struck us:
Isn’t this just like real life? - Kizuki
In any new project, people come in with different backgrounds and levels of experience:
Someone who’s been involved from the start
Someone joining for the first time
Someone who’s studied but never practiced
This session came to mirror those real beginnings of collaboration.
And so, we held our very first Jam Session—connecting four participants across three countries. One of them had never played Possible World before.
What kind of experience did it turn out to be?
Did a space for insight truly emerge?
