Craft Mystery Names Waseda Puzzle Circle As First Co-Production Partner
The announcement sets the operating model for Craft Mystery before any title exists: student creators supply the story and planning, and the company supplies the product design, sales, and shipping, which is how CRAFT GENERATE intends to turn student ideas into released works rather than one-off events.

CRAFT GENERATE announced that its everyday intrusion mystery business, Craft Mystery, will co-produce its first work with Waseda University's Waseda University Puzzle Planning algo. Student creators handle planning, story, and worldview, while CRAFT GENERATE handles product design, sales, marketing, and shipping. The work uses mailed items and audio to bring the story into participants' daily lives, with plans to incorporate oshi fan culture and suspense.
The first production partner is a Waseda University student puzzle group, working under the name Waseda University Puzzle Planning algo. The two sides are still in production, discussing the story construction, the physical items participants will hold, and the flow of experiences inside the narrative. CRAFT GENERATE takes business operations: product design, sales, marketing, and shipping. The stated reason Craft Mystery exists is to keep student ideas and creative ability moving into the world as products instead of ending as a single event. The company says the work is in production and its content may change.
