ZZZ Drifting Art Event Guide: Dates & Rewards

Zenless Zone Zero has announced a new limited-time event, Drifting Art, running from 2026-11-16 to 2026-11-30 (server time). If you're looking for more zenless-zone-zero news, this event offers a straightforward way to earn Polychromes, Boopons, and upgrade materials by solving art-themed puzzles.

Quick Summary

• Event dates: 2026-11-16 10:00 to 2026-11-30 03:59 (server time)
• Requirements: Inter-Knot Lv. 20 and Main Story Chapter 1 – Intermission completed
• Location: Booastrum, talk to the Drifting Art Launcherboo
• Rewards: Polychromes, Boopons, and upgrade materials
• Puzzle sets: 5 total, unlocking sequentially over the event period

Event Details

During the event, Proxies can head to Booastrum and speak with the Drifting Art Launcherboo to begin repairing an art collection. The process involves completing puzzles, with five sets in total.

Each puzzle set unlocks at a specified time, so you'll need to return to the event across its two-week window rather than finishing everything in one sitting. The exact unlock schedule is not stated in official materials, but the sequential rollout means you can pace your progress.

Rewards and What to Expect

Completing the event puzzles yields a mix of currencies and materials:

• Polychromes – the premium currency for pulls
• Boopons – used for Bangboo-related gacha
• Upgrade materials – for Agent and W-Engine progression

The exact quantities are not stated in official materials, but Polychromes and Boopons are always welcome for F2P players building their stockpile.

Preparation Checklist

To make sure you can participate as soon as the event goes live:

• Reach Inter-Knot Lv. 20 if you haven't already.
• Complete Main Story Chapter 1 – Intermission.
• Clear space in your schedule for daily or periodic check-ins, since puzzle sets unlock over time.
• Keep an eye on the event page for the unlock schedule once it's available.

If you're still working through the story, our ZZZ 3.3 update coverage can help you plan your progression. For a broader look at the patch, see ZZZ Version 3.3: Phoenix, Severian, Mech Combat.

Final Takeaway

The Drifting Art event is a low-stakes, reward-friendly addition to the ZZZ calendar. If you meet the requirements, it's worth logging in between 2026-11-16 and 2026-11-30 to collect Polychromes, Boopons, and materials. Just remember that the five puzzle sets unlock sequentially, so plan for a few visits.
