During the event at Toei Kyoto Studio Park, there will be a Haikyuu!! ball game booth called Hit it in! Service Ace! (打ち込め！サービスエース), where you have to hit a ball over a net into a hole to win prizes. You get two tries per game, with each game costing ¥600 (~USD5.47).

The game is designed to simulate a volleyball game where you, as a volleyball player, are trying to execute an ace serve. An “ace serve” is when a player serves the ball and the opposing team is unable to pass it.
You can stand a chance to win exclusive prizes such as Haikyuu!! pouches, coasters, and stickers if you successfully execute an ace serve.
