The world of Teyvat buzzed with excitement as Paimon's cheerful voice echoed through the Serenitea Pot: "Hurry, Traveler! The paper beasts are dancing and the kites won't wait!" From February 8-17, 2024, Genshin Impact players embarked on a whimsical web event blending riddles with cultural festivities. Through 5 puzzle-filled chapters, travelers uncovered stories about Liyue's traditional kite craftsmanship while collecting Primogems, Mora, and enough Hero's Wit to level an entire party.
🎮 Starting the Journey
Accessible through a special portal (or, as mortals call it, "event webpage"), the adventure began with Paimon and the Traveler demonstrating how to:
-
Tap floating paper talismans 🧧
-
Match kite patterns 🪁
-
Earn 30,000 Mora + 10 Primogems just for learning the ropes!
Players quickly realized the real challenge wasn't the puzzles themselves—it was gathering Pale Yellow Silk Paper to unlock chapters. "Ugh, this feels like waiting for resin to recharge!" groaned one adventurer in the forums. The precious paper came from daily missions:
| Task | Reward |
|---|---|
| Daily Login | 2 Papers |
| Claim 4 Commissions | 3 Papers |
| Use 40 Resin | 2 Papers |
| Share Event | 1 Paper |
| Visit Twitter | 1 Paper |
🧩 Puzzle Mechanics Made Playful
Each unlocked chapter presented cultural trivia with a twist. One question asked: "Which material makes kite frames both flexible and durable?" Options included:
-
❌ Pine Wood ("Too brittle for Qingce Village winds!" Paimon giggled)
-
✅ Bamboo ("Sturdy yet bends like a dancer!")
-
❌ Iron Nails ("Are you building or flying?")
The best part? No punishment for wrong answers—just infinite retries until players either solved it or annoyed Paimon into giving hints ("Ugh, fine! Look at the lanterns in the background!").
💰 Treasure Trove Breakdown
By event's end, dedicated players collected:
-
Primogems x120 (Almost a full wish!)

Hero's Wit x10 (Level 90 Zhongli here we come)

Sadly, the kites flew away when the event ended—but rumors say similar events might return during Lantern Rite 2025!
- "What if I missed a day?" 🗓️
HoYoLAB check-ins gave catch-up papers, proving even the Anemo Archon believes in second chances.
🌅 Final Thoughts: More Than Just Primogems?
As players watched virtual kites dance across their screens, some wondered: Could this event be testing our knowledge for future world quests? Others saw deeper meaning—the bamboo vs. pine debate mirroring Liyue's shift from tradition to modernity.
One thing's certain: When paper beasts dance again, the Traveler will be ready...with a browser tab already open. 🦊🎐
