A mysterious old man has been reported invading a room in Kowloon, and there’s a game event which opened December 2, in which you can attempt to repel the intruder. It doesn’t take long, isn’t too difficult, and you can win a cool prize.
The board near the landing has instructions in Japanese and English. You select a weapon. The “weak” weapon is free, and works fine but takes longer to repel the mysterious man. The medium weapon is 3$L, and the strong one is 10L$. Select your weapon, wear it, and teleport to the room.
I got out my camera and attempted to stay out of the way as my traveling companion prepared to battle the intruder. He used the free weapon, and the intruder kept arriving at a reasonable pace, through the window, fireplace or door. After a predetermined number of hits with the weapon, (stand within 1 meter from the intruder and right click), the prize is received, and you can exit through the door. Please bring your sense of humor with you.
The prize is a high quality, animesh micro robot. It has a dedicated HUD that allows for color change, and controls to open/close the canopy. It can be attached to a miniature avatar. It’s amusing to watch running around; the sounds are well-done too.
If you need a miniature avatar, there is a micro rabbitroid available for purchase for 30L$. (I was unable to locate the avatars via the SLurl provided in this blog post.)
Exploring Kowloon has always been enjoyable for me.
Million Happy Endings 
Yes, I’ve always found it fabulously eccentric/exotic, too… and always seen elements of humour there, as well… (:
Indeed. 🙂
Thank you for posting about the Mysterious Old Man in Kowloon. There are frequent events being held there; although sometimes understanding exactly what they are can be challenging due to difficulties in translation. Currently, there is a Tote bag festival being held (all the free Tote bags you could ever need!)
Currently, the miniature avatars are deformed if riding in the micro Robot using Firestorm, but are fine with the animesh version of the Official Linden one. As well as the micro rabbitroid you can also get the naito horizon miniature avatar here
The tiny animal/fairy avatars are here, at W-ZERO,
The miniature robots are small versions of the robot, Borot which is also available from Kowloon, here
Thanks for the clarifications Annie. I wandered among the huge selection of free totebags looking for the micro rabbitroid. Yes, I often find understanding the events to be challenging, but the sim is delightful.
