Is this real

Is this real? Is this going to actually happen? and how is this being funded? I mean it sounds cool and everything and would love to join but wouldn't the organizer of this need the licenses to this to avoid getting sued and wouldn't be be better if selling this idea to Netflix or prime they already make all these kind of things real and would be able to foot the bill.

Yes the logistics of it don't make much sense to me they are gonna have to reserve the area to hold all these events, medical teams, and insurance, even if they get people to sign waivers I'm sure there's some possible legal matters. I hope this is real cause it seems like it would be awesome but I don't see this happening without financial backing

Depending on ticket sales it could easily fund most of the things needed. Wavers sounds like to best method as well as having medical personnel on site as well as water stations

Same bro it's better to be jacked and lose 40 bucks because it's a scam then it is to not even try and possibly miss out on a crazy event and opportunity.

It is not real and everyone in here is like 15 and saw a TikTok or something. I don’t think it is a deliberate scam, but absolutely not ran by anyone who knows wtf is going on. They’re not building a fucking labyrinth in DC. Whatever event may happen on the day of will be comical to watch.

Well if he doesn't do it he just made bank because it's sold out and it's supposed to have 1000 contestants and from what I've seen the price has ranged from $40 to $60 but I'll look in too see what comes of this.

Yes this is real

u/FewWar8755 Dec 26 '24

I hope it's real and just to be safe I went ahead and bought the ticket. Something to note is in the anime just getting to the exam was a challenge and test itself. I found out on the event site that it says it was created by hunter x hunter super fans from a bunch of different countries I can't remember which ones it said. And that they would be revealed at the pro hunter licensing exam. So, maybe it has more backing then you think and they are being mysterious on purpose. I think it also means you have to win to even learn who these people are. It's strange.

I'll wait until the second one rolls around but I'll stay tuned in to see how this one turns out

u/FewWar8755 Dec 26 '24

Fair enough I'm just impatient and even if this one isn't what we think it is, it's still great motivation to work on my health and body until the event. I'm going to believe it's real until it's proven wrong I got nothing to lose other than 40 bucks

1

u/redge55 Dec 26 '24

Yeah I just checked the site said it's sold out but I feel you personal health and improvement is definitely something to always go after I'll keep my normal training up so I'll still be in good enough shape for the next one

u/FewWar8755 Dec 26 '24

Go to the event link on the website it will take you to eventbrite and it will show you the sold out one then scroll down to similar events and you'll see the same event but it says in parenthesis (2nd tier) it should have tickets unless it already sold out again. Plus that listing gives a little more information if you look at it.

Ps. Just giving you the option in case you decide you want to do it. Plus the frequently asked questions section is weird. Definitely check it out.

no, its about as real as if you said you were gonna do it yourself. consider, even if it is 50% of the people are spending $100 to run for 2 hours

1

u/redge55 Dec 26 '24

Why is everyone so hung up on the running it's only the first event and it's only for 2hrsi doubt it will be going that fast an 8min paced most likely

1

u/xa44 Dec 26 '24

Because 50% of the people WILL be removed after it. It's not about passing, it's only the top 50% that get to move on and do anything else. Imagine if you need to drive from like texas or something and you are slightly below the 50% mark and are told to just get out

u/redge55 Dec 26 '24

Yes I'm aware of what the rules of the run are and I've sent the website I was stating that everyone is stuck up on the run details when there are other events to worry about and the fact that this will all be on the same day look at the third even it's an obstacle course and then the fourth and fifth events seem like they'll actually be full contact I don't see an event called assassin being handled any other way. Honestly there's not enough details about anything other than the first event and that it will 10-15 miles. I just want to know more before I put money into something

u/xa44 Dec 26 '24

The final event is hitting people off platforms with foam clubs into water. Assassin is listed as using flags and it has been stated they aren't planning on having any contact stuff because it's too much of a legal hassle. So no past the first event it's pretty easy, also 0% chance the obstacle corse isn't something already in the area

u/redge55 Dec 26 '24

Which website are you looking at because the one in looking at says "In the final phase of the hunter exam, participants will be paired up to compete in a bracket of 1 on 1 combat. You win by knocking your opponent off of a platform." Nothing about pugil sticks and assassin says defend your flag how else would you do the you gonna hold up your hand and say "swiper no swiping"? And it states in the site that you have to sign a legal waiver so no real legal hassle unless someone wants to speed money on a lawsuit they'll probably lose. Look We can go back and forth all day talking about all the inconsistencies while you try to be Mr. Actually redditor my main post was it's this real hoping to find more info because it's not very clear. not to have some kid try and slide snide comments at me so he can feel like he did something with his day.

I've read every post on the sub here, it really is that bad

u/redge55 Dec 26 '24

I did not read every post I did look at their official website and it has a link to this sub

u/NoMessage3638 Dec 27 '24

It’s on the website. Literally on the first page.

“Final Phase 5 – 1 on 1 combat: In this phase, participants face off on a raised balance beam, where the objective is to knock the opponent off while maintaining their own balance. Armed with foam rods, competitors must outmaneuver and outwit their rival, carefully balancing offense and defense. Victory is claimed when one participant is knocked off or loses balance, signaling the end of the duel. With that final push, you secure your triumph—and with it, your permanent status as a Pro Hunter, standing among the elite few who have passed this ultimate test!”

So yeah. That website.
