In this small, immersive space accessible to all, fans can admire some of the Pokémon Mega-Evolution cards through life-size representations. On arrival, they'll receive a Rallye Tampon card, which they can have stamped throughout their visit to leave with free goodies, including a 3-card booster and poster, while stocks last.

Visitors can also fill in another card on the back to obtain 24 hourglasses in the application. A free, interactive stamp hunt! Under the Canopy, a small area awaits you, with the different types of Pokémon on display and the corresponding stamp right next to them. Don't expect a treasure hunt, though: the stamps are really easy to affix, and the pop-up isn't designed for a long visit - it'll take you just 10 minutes to get around it.

You can also discover the application if you're not already familiar with it, thanks to interactive screens. Mind you, with goodies on offer, there may be a bit of a wait to get in, but the visit is fast and fairly fluid. It's best to get there early, because as the day progresses, stocks are likely to become increasingly scarce.

According to Peter Murphy, EMEA Marketing Director at The Pokémon Company International,"Buffer hunts are very popular events in Japan, the birthplace of Pokémon, and the notions of adventure and discovery are at the heart of our franchise", he explains.
