Gacha isnโt for the ordinaryโitโs for the bold, the creative, the unexpected. The Gacha Garden is not the place for your everyday releases. Here, your set needs to stand out, tell a story, and spark excitement. Think quirky, imaginative, and irresistibly collectibleโsomething shoppers canโt just find on a shelf in your store. Each piece should feel like part of a world they want to complete. Make it magical. Make it memorable. Make it something they canโt wait to collect!

Gacha Guidelines
Permissions All gacha items must be No Copy / Yes Transfer. All fatpack items must be Yes Copy / No Transfer.
Exclusivity Gacha sets and SOIs must be new and remain exclusive to the event for the duration of that round. Items may not be sold anywhere else, including in your store or on Marketplace, before or during the event. Once the event ends, you are free to sell your gachas and fatpacks wherever you choose. To preserve the value and excitement of the gacha experience, we ask that SOIs not be included in any fatpacks. These limited edition rewards are meant to encourage and celebrate gacha play during the event. Recolors and reworks of previous items are welcome as long as they are clearly distinguishable from the original.
Packaging Each prize must be boxed with the ad image included inside.
Item Naming All prizes must be named to match the ad image clearly. This helps players recognize the items they receive and confirms that everything shown is inside the machine.
Required Format: ITEM NUMBER - ITEM NAME - SET NAME - BRAND Example: 01 Fairy Wings - Enchanted Forest - YourBrand
If the item is rare, you must also include the word RARE at the end of the item name. Example: 02 Crystal Antlers - Enchanted Forest - YourBrand RARE
Rarity Balance Each set must include at least 1 rare per 10 commons. You may include more, but not less. We recommend 1 to 2 rares per 10 to keep things exciting.
Rare Labeling Ultra-rare items are not allowed. All rare items must be clearly labeled with RARE in the name, as noted above.
Content Rules No pornographic content. Adult items are allowed, but ads must not show sex acts or genitalia.
SOI Guidelines
๐น Permissions The Seed of Inspiration must be No Copy / Yes Transfer.
๐น Availability Each gacha set must include one SOI. It is gifted automatically after 20 pulls.
๐น Exclusivity The SOI must be permanently retired after the event ends. It cannot be resold, given away, or repackaged in any way after the event.
๐น Naming SOI items must include “SOI” at the end of the item name to make them easy to identify.
Required Format: ITEM NAME - SET NAME - BRAND SOI Example: Fairy Wings - Enchanted Forest - YourBrand SOI
This helps shoppers recognize they are receiving the Seed of Inspiration and prevents confusion with regular prizes.
Image Rules
๐น Two Required Ads You must submit two square images per set: โ One for your gacha items โ One for your Seed of Inspiration (SOI) The SOI must not appear on the main gacha ad, since it retires after the event.
๐น Item Labeling All items in your gacha ad must be clearly labeled so players can easily identify what they receive.
๐น Image Format All ad images must be perfectly square (example: 1024×1024) to display properly on the blog and HUD.
๐น Content Restrictions No explicit adult content. Ads may not include visible genitalia or sexual acts.
โจ Please double-check your ads before submitting to make sure they follow these rules.
