The Shugo Festival opens short windows twice an hour, and each window runs a different minigame drawn from a pool. This timer counts down to the next window in your own time zone so you can register before the short window shuts.

How the Shugo Festival works
The Shugo Festival runs on the server clock and opens on a repeating pattern inside each hour rather than at fixed hours of the day. A window appears, a Shugo icon shows up beside your minimap, and you register for one activity before a short countdown ends.
Which minigame is on offer changes from window to window — one is drawn from a pool each time, so a window you skip is not necessarily the same activity you would have gotten later. Minigames are built for small groups of four to nine players.
The window schedule
Windows open at :15 and :45 past each hour on the global clock, and stay registered for a very short time — on the order of a few minutes. Because the window is short and repeats every half hour, a countdown matters more here than a daily list: you want to know whether the next window is eight minutes away or twenty-two.
The timer above shows both the time to the next window and the wall-clock time it lands on in your zone, so you can plan around it instead of watching the clock.
A note on the clock behind these windows
The window pattern is reported by community trackers rather than published in an official NCSOFT notice. The pattern itself is consistent across the trackers we checked, which is why we publish it, but the server clock it is anchored to is not confirmed the way the Taiwan rift schedule is.
Treat this page as a reliable guide to the rhythm — twice an hour, on the quarter and three-quarter marks — and confirm the current window against the in-game Shugo icon before committing to a group.

All times are converted with the IANA timezone database, so daylight saving changes in North America and Europe are handled for you.
Twice an hour, at :15 and :45 past the hour, based on community trackers. Each window stays open for only a few minutes, so arriving at the start of the window is what matters.
Can I pick which minigame I get?
No. One minigame is drawn from a pool each window, so what is available changes hour to hour. The window itself tells you what is on before you commit.
How many players do the minigames need?
They are built for small groups, reported as roughly four to nine players. Check the registration screen for the requirement on the specific activity that is live.
Is the Shugo Festival schedule official?
The pattern is community-reported. It is consistent across the trackers we compared, but it is not backed by an official NCSOFT notice the way the Taiwan rift cycle is, so treat it as a guide and confirm in game.
