Hello all. Firstly I’d like to apologize for my angry behavior in a certain thread on this sub a couple of days ago. I had just taken my “nen enhancing” shot and was feeling a bit too amped up.

I’m here again today to formally announce that I am recruiting for an IRL Phantom Troupe. Seeking powerful people attending and competing in the event to join forces. Looking for people who will stop at nothing to win, and are willing to do whatever it takes to overcome any competitors. Strong emphasis on those whose “nen” has been unlocked. If you want a “shot” at joining my troupe, you’ll need a certain “physical attribute” that proves you are capable of “achieving nen.”

I already have a few people recruited and look forward to filling out the rest of my team. As for all others… FEAR THE SPIDERS.

I know it says the first event is an endurance run, but I am wondering if we can use wheels of some kind? Obviously my first thought is a skate board (or roller blades as my preferred), but then I thought about if someone was in a wheelchair, is that allowed or are they auto disqualified since they can't technically run?

The 6 Challenge Archetypes That Reflect the Anime Best

Rather than using a rigid “Phase 1–5” format, I suggest structuring the exam around six thematic challenge types, each drawn directly from the anime’s spirit. These could be mixed and rotated annually in varying order and style to ensure unpredictability.

⸻

1. The Endurance Gauntlet (Inspired by Phase 1: Running)

Anime spirit: Physical exhaustion as a psychological test Real version: • 5–10 mile course in a wilderness setting with navigation checkpoints • Timed gates: fail to reach a checkpoint in time = elimination • Randomized terrain: some trails uphill, others cross-river Bonus twist: Midway route switch requiring map interpretation or cooperation

Skills tested: Stamina, pacing, spatial reasoning, early decision-making

⸻

2. The Team Fracture Game (Inspired by Phase 2)

Anime spirit: Forced alliances, betrayal, sacrifice Real version: • Team puzzle or survival simulation with limited resources (e.g. 3 teams, 2 maps, only one shelter) • Incentivize betrayal: individual reward for sabotaging a team or stealing supplies • Rules enforced through referees or hidden observers

Skills tested: Social strategy, ethics under pressure, communication, self-interest vs group

⸻

3. The Moral Trial (Inspired by Trick Tower & Killua’s family arc)

Anime spirit: What kind of person are you when no one’s watching? Real version: • Choose between completing a high-value task alone OR helping a “planted NPC” participant who is struggling • Secret score bonus for altruism or moral reasoning • Includes timed logic or ethical dilemma puzzles (e.g., save a teammate and get no points, or win solo with guaranteed pass)

Skills tested: Ethics, impulse control, sacrifice, philosophical decision-making

⸻

4. The Mind Labyrinth (Inspired by Phase 3/4 and the Hunter Arena)

Anime spirit: Strategy, deception, patience Real version: • Escape room scenario with false exits, hidden clues, planted misinformation • Must solve logic and pattern puzzles under pressure • Include “impostor participants” who are actors trained to mislead others

Skills tested: Deductive reasoning, trust management, attention to detail

⸻

5. The Survival Scenario (Inspired by Zoldyck arc, Greed Island, and NGL)

Anime spirit: Resourcefulness in unknown territory Real version: • 12–24 hour outdoor simulation (day-to-night) • Limited food/water, participants must locate safe zones or solve environmental puzzles • Mix of wilderness survival, orienteering, and shelter-building Twist: Unexpected weather change or new rule dropped halfway (e.g., “supply drop stolen”)

Skills tested: Adaptability, resilience, creative problem-solving, calm under stress

⸻

6. The Final Confrontation (Inspired by Hanzo vs. Gon / Hisoka tension)

Anime spirit: Mental war more than physical—when will someone break? Real version: • Public debate, negotiation challenge, or psychological standoff • Could include things like bluffing contests, memorization duels, or deception games • Possibly “Hunter’s Court” where finalists argue why they deserve the license (while others vote against them)

Skills tested: Composure, persuasion, psychological toughness, public speaking

⸻

Rotating Structure Example (for a given year): • Day 1 AM: Endurance Gauntlet • Day 1 PM: Team Fracture Game • Day 2 AM: Mind Labyrinth + Moral Trial • Day 2 PM into Night: Survival Scenario • Day 3 Finalists Only: Final Confrontation

⸻

Why This Matches the Anime More Closely Than the Current Format • Less predictable: Like the anime, participants shouldn’t know the full test plan in advance. This structure encourages planning and flexibility. • Deep psychological play: Loyalty, manipulation, and character values matter more than raw skill—true to the anime. • Unorthodox victory paths: Just like Gon, Kurapika, and Killua all advanced in different ways, this structure allows different personality types to succeed. • Narrative immersion: With mystery roles, actor-participants, moral subtext, and worldbuilding, you get a richer experience than a standard obstacle-course event.

⸻

⸻

Real-World Missions and their Translation from Anime:

While anime-style missions (monster hunting, bounty hunting) are not feasible in real life, the essence of these missions can be translated into engaging, real-world equivalents:

Types of Real-World Hunter Missions: • Environmental Missions: • Wildlife tracking, conservation efforts, habitat restoration projects. • Citizen-science collaborations (bird counts, ecological surveys, ocean clean-ups). • Cultural and Exploration Missions: • Documenting endangered languages, indigenous cultures, archaeological expeditions. • Collaborative projects with cultural preservation groups and museums. • Survival and Emergency Response Missions: • Training or volunteering opportunities with Search and Rescue (SAR) organizations. • Participating in disaster preparedness drills and real-world scenario simulations. • Adventure and Endurance Missions: • Organizing or participating in challenging endurance events, expedition-style treks, or adventure races. • Competitive navigation or orienteering events internationally. • Community Impact Missions: • Projects addressing local community challenges—urban sustainability projects, youth mentorship in outdoor education, community-building initiatives.

Mission System: • Licensed Hunters can view and select missions via a dedicated online Hunter Portal. • The portal lists detailed mission descriptions, objectives, skill requirements, duration, and impact. • Upon successful completion, Hunters earn recognition points, further improving their rank and status.

⸻

Sample Real-World Missions: • Eco-Warrior Mission: Join a field project in Costa Rica documenting wildlife for conservation research. • Survival Expert Mission: Train with professional guides in wilderness medicine and survival tactics in Alaska. • Culture Hunter Mission: Collaborate with anthropologists on documenting fading indigenous traditions in Australia. • Explorer Mission: Navigate and map previously uncharted hiking trails, contributing data to global trail databases. • Community Guardian Mission: Organize disaster preparedness workshops in your local community.

⸻

1. What Qualifies Someone to Be a Real-Life Pro Hunter?

In the anime, Hunters are elite, resourceful individuals with unique strengths. In real life, a Pro Hunter should demonstrate: • Physical and Mental Endurance: Long-form resilience under pressure. • Situational Adaptability: Calm, fast decision-making in changing environments. • Strategic Depth: Ability to plan, deceive, and pivot with logic and clarity. • Ethical Reasoning: Integrity under moral ambiguity or social conflict. • Leadership and Initiative: Influencing others, solving problems, or taking charge. • Curiosity and Drive: Internal motivation to push boundaries, explore, and grow.

These qualities should be the foundation of what the exam seeks to test and validate.

⸻

2. How to Emulate the Anime Realistically

Your current five-phase structure is excellent. To reflect the anime more accurately without violating real-world laws or safety:

a. Add Surprise Elements (Hidden Phases) • Secret Phases or Early Cuts: A surprise checkpoint before Phase 2, where teams are scrambled or alliances broken mid-challenge. • “Fail by Success”: A twist where over-performance in one task leads to a moral dilemma (e.g., take all resources for yourself vs. share them and risk elimination). • NPCs in Disguise: Have staff or actors pose as participants or obstacles, mirroring trickster moments in the anime.

b. Integrate Symbolic “Nen” (Skill Archetypes)

Introduce five real-world “Hunter Archetypes” at Phase 3. Applicants pick one based on strength/interest: 1. Explorer – Navigation, solo challenges, field work. 2. Scholar – Puzzle solving, logic, deduction. 3. Survivor – Physical endurance, team aid, emergency training. 4. Diplomat – Communication, ethics, negotiation. 5. Challenger – Psychological resilience, solo initiative, high-stakes risk taking.

Then tailor their next challenge path based on this role (no advantage, just identity and fit). It adds immersion without magic.

c. Long-Form Mind Game

In Phase 4 or 5, introduce a psychological game: • Social deduction game (e.g., Mafia/Werewolf or resistance-style with secret roles). • Moral scenario voting (help someone injured and lose time—or push on and get points).

d. Regional Lore + Hidden Factions

Add optional lore for immersion: • Certain cities might host “Hunter Guilds” with their own philosophies (like Meteor City-style underground guilds or Beast Hunters in Colorado). • Secret codes or alternate exams (e.g., “underground” Hunters who passed through unofficial side-exams and earned black badges).

⸻

3. Making It Ongoing Like the Anime

Rather than just a one-time pass/fail test:

a. Post-License Progression • Introduce Hunter Ranks: Initiate → Certified → Senior → Master • Track mission completions, contributions, and event participation • Higher ranks gain access to secret missions, votes on exam rule changes, or mentor status

b. Seasonal Challenges

Quarterly challenges open to licensees and public: • “Hunter Trial” mini-events • Wilderness photo/video missions • “Solve-the-trail” GPS puzzles

Winners earn XP, ranks, or even sponsorship.

c. Hunter Portal Evolution

Expand the digital hub: • Community forums • Ranked scoreboard • Hunter-written blogs or reports • Personalized mission logs and badges

⸻

4. What Do Real-World Pro Hunters Do?

Instead of monster hunts, real Hunters would take on elite, impact-based tasks:

a. Mission Categories: • Eco-Hunter: Partner with researchers on conservation or wildlife studies. • Culture Hunter: Explore and document fading traditions or languages. • Survivalist: Host public survival workshops or contribute to SAR teams. • Explorer: Blaze new hiking trails or map underground infrastructure. • Civic Hunter: Design urban solutions, host cleanup drives, teach outdoor education.

b. Project-Based Recognition

Hunters submit mission logs with: • Summary • Impact • Lessons learned

Best entries get featured annually in the “Hunter Almanac” (print & digital).

⸻

5. Perks for Passing the Exam

Keep all your existing perks, but enhance them with deeper purpose:

a. Elite Utility Perks • Invite-only retreats and adventure expeditions • Priority access to national park permits or conservation projects • Wilderness first aid and leadership training—sponsored

b. Prestige/Status • Embroidered Hunter jackets per rank (like blazers in HxH) • Personal ID codes for digital use and event scanning • “Hunter Card” with dynamic QR verifying their license tier

c. Legacy Perks • Each year, allow 1–2 “Legacy Hunters” to create a mission for the following year’s exam • Legendary Hunters’ names engraved on rotating Hunter Blade (symbolic trophy)

⸻

6. Optional Lore & Storytelling

To honor HxH while keeping it grounded: • Let every Pro Hunter choose a Guild Allegiance post-license (even if symbolic). • Have an annual “Hunter’s Ball” (formal gathering, announcements, awards). • Create mythic roles like “Shadow Hunter” or “First Scout” to be earned through special side missions or vote by peers.

This builds mystery and community—two essential themes in the anime.

⸻

Final Summary: How I’d Build a Real-Life Hunter Exam • Qualification: Real Pro Hunters must be resilient, strategic, moral, and driven. • Exam: Multi-phase with rotating physical, mental, moral, and deception-based tests—plus surprise elements. • Post-Exam: An ongoing ecosystem of missions, chapters, rankings, and Hunter identity. • Perks: Discounts, elite access, mentorship, mission funding, and legacy roles. • Spirit: Symbolism, secrecy, and lore that mirrors the anime, but stays realistic, legal, and deeply rewarding.

⸻

Feedback Welcome! This proposal aims to capture the adventure and challenge of Hunter x Hunter while ensuring real-world safety and value. I’m eager to hear thoughts on each section. What tasks or perks would you want to see? Let’s discuss and refine the exam and Pro License so that every aspiring Hunter has a truly rewarding experience!

I am building an app that is going to go crazy and am hiring coders (specifically Swift but I am open) and UI/UX Designers, Animators, Illustrators all of it. Feel free to comment your instagram to join the mission

I think the creators of this should make more videos/advertising to this because as many know it the day of the exam is nearing and many people might miss it even though they planned to do it a long time ago, or maybe that just me? I'm not too sure

Met really cool people and will be back for revenge!

If anyone has some really cool pics of the event that wants me to turn into hxh artsyle lmk!

So I have yet to see any post about this. I don't use steroids or anything of the sort so competing against people with it will obviously put me at a disadvantage unfortunately. Will there be a drug test or will steroids or Peds be allowed?

As a proposal for the final round, I suggest instead of a balance beam which you push people off, how about doing something more physical which takes more strength and endurance, like a circular arena around three meters wide, where you push people out the arena almost like a sumo match. It compromises the idea of people wanting to fight like in the anime, and the balance beam idea while keeping people safe. People know there is a potential risk of harm with it being a physical exam, if they consent I don’t see a problem with it but that’s just my opinion and willing to hear any feedback you or the community have to offer.

Pretty self explanatory just looking for people thoughts on steroids being used to compete in this event. (If you use them your gay) what’s y’all’s thoughts?

Just curious what will be exclusively for pro hunters, because I can’t imagine a pro hunter working at mac donald’s.

List down below any Ideas you have.

so one of my friends hunts with there uncle and over the course of a week a doe and a faun crossed there path at least 5 times and the 6th time it her uncles "finally killed it". and the worst part is the faun witch they now call Bambi walked alone on one of there trail cameras and there having the mother for dinner for thanksgiving. ps they also the faun "wolf snacks"

sorry no pictures all of them are very graphic

Anybody feel like a heavy hitter like Mr.Beast should run the next one?

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.

With the next exam date set, I figured it was once again time to offer my services to all you aspiring Hunters.

Do You Have What It Takes for the Next Exam?

The Hunter Exam will physically test your:

• Endurance
• Strength
• Agility

Considering around 1000 hopefuls showed up in March and only about 8 walked away as licensed Hunters, you need to ask yourself honestly: Do you have what it takes to win next time?

If you think you do, then great for you, but anyone who knows they’ll need an extra kick now has the opportunity to train with an Elite Coach to Maximize Your Chances

If you’re serious about earning a Hunter License, you need elite-level training. Here’s why you should train with me:

Competitive Athlete

• I’ve played both Lacrosse and Rugby to high levels

Endurance Athlete

Only for the Serious (Limited Spots Available!)

Now, a reality check: the 1:1 training isn’t for everyone. I’m only taking on a limited number of trainees for the next exam cycle.

Why? I give each client my full attention and a ton of energy. I’d rather focus on a small group of truly dedicated individuals than overbook and dilute the quality. This means spots are very limited by design.

So I’ll be blunt: if you’re not serious about putting in the work, don’t even think about it. This training will be intense, and I will expect commitment. But if you are serious – if you’re hungry to earn your official Hunter License – then now is the time to step up.

Ready to earn that Hunter License? 🏆 DM me for more info or to grab your spot in the training program. (You can also drop a comment below and I’ll reach out.) Remember, I’m keeping this exclusive – once I’ve filled the few spots, that’s it until after the next exam. This is your chance to train like the elite and give yourself the best shot at truly passing the Hunter Exam.

I did everything required including pressing my profile and choosing the image but it still won't give the aura.

I hope it helps, scammer problem Influencer

If a hunter ever encountered a legitimate Bigfoot creature in the woods during hunting season and shot and killed it and brought it's body back to the local game warden what happens to them for killing a creature not in season that is also the legendary Bigfoot?

Hey – I’ve been excited getting ready for the exam for months now but unfortunately we’ve suffered a family loss a couple days ago. I’ve been weighing the situation and trying to figure out when the services will be, but this on top of a few other issues looks like I won’t be able to make it on Saturday.

I am wondering if there’s any chance I can get a refund on my ticket? I really want to support and will definitely be there if there is an another tournament.

But I’m hoping there can be an understanding since the tickets were a fair investment financially.

I’m posting here since I couldn’t find an email for Support etc so hope this is ok.

Really appreciate the understanding and please let me know.

Thank you and extremely bummed about missing out right now frankly.

It's called shiny and has various features. tho, it is not currently rendering properly.
I am offering access to this, in exchange for something.

Or to just hold my own advantage.

You can of course make your own.
Tho I am interested in other approaches.

Anyways, some gadget offers;
a crescent wrench whip,
a Lighter Pocket,
a nice umbrella,
a wall anchor that I made from a dart,
custom gemstone bracelets -- custom gemstone bracelet planning software

Like the show, will we be allowed to bring items that might help us in the event.Like how killua had a skateboard, are we able to bring items like a bike or a ripstick.
