Basic rundown you talk to the moogle near the chest it gives you crab shirt. Talk to the other moogle it explains the event. It will offer to cast magic on you which turns you into a frog and allows you to participate.
Nearby there is a moogle surrounded 5 stages that have npcs on them. It will ask a question in say and you have 10 seconds to answer. You answer by /point at the npc. If you get it right you will get points immediately if not you can try again until time runs out and at the end of time it will tell you the answer and give some info
Answer immediately get 100 points min is 1. Each time you answer one correctly you add 10 points to the bonus which is given if you answer the next one correctly. So you could get 100 first question 110 the next 120 etc. You can answer more than once but it takes time to answer again and you lose chain bonus so if you can figure it out best to do that. Have 20 questions and you can start in the middle as long as 2 questions left. In the upper right hand corner it will show you numerical as well as a bar that fills up how much you gotten that round, how many points you got or would get if you haven't answered yet for that question and how big your bonus is.
Questions are kind of hard random ***you probably wont remember like which of these 5 npcs isn't at this particular town gate... however it seems there are a limited number so you start seeing the same ones over again and can even sometimes guess the answer just by seeing what npcs/mobs load. Though it does become tricky when they throw a couple of npcs that look nearly identical up there and it looks like a few questions might differ by city but a lot are the same. Also retargeting fast can be a problem and npcs don't have names above them. There is a top 5 ranking but it appears like the people on my server at least have a bunch of people who went 20/20 answering all in under a second <.<. Also it seems if you do well enough or something you can get a level up and eventually become a frog with a hat.
Available prizes I see are:
Hapy Staff -5k
SP gobbie key - 1k
copper AMAN voucher 1k
99 mog missiles - 500
99 bubble breezes- 500
ambuscade primer volume 1- 1.5k
ambuscade primer volume 1- 1.5k
pep talk - 0 (gave me a 30 minute 4int buff then disappeared from menu and went away when I zoned but came back after I did a round not sure if it helps or anything)
I already have the moogle mount so probably why I don't see it and no idea about these new items it mentions
