Acquire a Raid Assignment

Raid Assignments are required to play Raids. However, only the party leader will need to have the Raid Assignment to start the game. The other two party members do not need to have one and can tag along the Raid.

Take note that a Raid Assignment will only be good for 7 days, and you'll have to get another one after that!

Puzzles Require Teamwork

Effective communication is recommended when playing Raids as all puzzles need coordination and perfect timing with your team in order to solve them.

Communicating with your team with a microphone is considered the most efficient way as most puzzles have time limits.
