What is Journey Handbook?
Journey Handbook was a cumulative login check-in, and the launch client carried an event of exactly that name over exactly the calendar’s window, 16 September to 28 October 2026. It ended with Part 1, when the servers went down for the Part 2 update on 28 October (22:00 UTC on Aniimo-Europe, 23:00 UTC on Aniimo-Americas and Aniimo-Apac). Its rules read: log in each day to complete that day’s check-in and earn rewards based on your cumulative check-in days, the count resets at 04:00 (UTC+8), and 30 check-ins claims everything.
It paid at seven milestones rather than every day. The game’s data files put the steps at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 cumulative check-in days, and every one of them was an appearance item: Lucky Cube Pack, Journey Appearance Pack, Big Pink Eyes Pack, Bold True Self, Piopiota Hood Pack, Free-Spirited and, at 30 days, the Emberpup Backpack Pack. Two of those are the halves of a full outfit, which our skins guide names Freedom First on one character style and Green Years on the other.
One warning, because the two names collide. The battle pass is a different menu, called the Companion Handbook in the client. Its Part 1 phase closed on the same day, 28 October 2026: 100 levels, a free Standard track, paid Advanced at US$9.99 and Collector’s at US$19.99, the Incredible Fulmintis Egg at level 10 of the free track and the Prismana Fulmintis Egg at level 20 of Advanced. The 29 October update opened a new phase with Hypnyto as its featured Aniimo, covered in our Companion Handbook guide below. Nothing on the Journey Handbook check-in cost money.
Dates and windows

 Window 1 | 16 September 2026 to 28 October 2026 | 43 | TBD | Ended |
Dates are the UTC+8 calendar days the official calendar publishes. The source gives no time of day, so treat the last date as the whole of that day in UTC+8 and do not leave a reward to the last hour of your own.
Rewards
- Seven cosmetic steps, claimed at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 cumulative check-in days: Lucky Cube Pack, Journey Appearance Pack, Big Pink Eyes Pack, Bold True Self, Piopiota Hood Pack, Free-Spirited and the Emberpup Backpack Pack (the game’s data files, build 1.0.0.7).
- Nothing here was a purchase. The paid tracks people usually mean by “handbook” belong to the Companion Handbook battle pass, which is a separate menu.
Tips
It has ended. The Update Notice of 27 October 2026 lists no Part 2 edition, so there is no check-in left to catch up on.
Do not mix it up with the Companion Handbook battle pass, which did not end: the 29 October update opened its new phase, Hypnyto Egg on the free Standard Edition and Prismana Hypnyto on the Advanced one.
For what opened on 29 October, Night Parade, Tidal Treasures and First Visit to Whisperwake Isles all run to 9 December 2026 on the events calendar.

Journey Handbook FAQ
When does Journey Handbook start and end?
It ran from 16 September to 28 October 2026 in the calendar’s UTC+8 days, per the official event calendar on aniimo.com, and the event row in the game’s data files carried the same window on every server region.
Is Journey Handbook still available?
No. It ended with Season 1 Part 1 on 28 October 2026, and the Update Notice of 27 October 2026 lists no Part 2 edition.
What did you do in Journey Handbook?
You logged in. The event rules said to complete that day’s check-in and earn rewards based on your cumulative check-in days, with the count resetting at 04:00 (UTC+8) and 30 days claiming everything. There was nothing else to do for it.
What were the Journey Handbook rewards?
Seven cosmetic steps at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 cumulative check-in days: Lucky Cube Pack, Journey Appearance Pack, Big Pink Eyes Pack, Bold True Self, Piopiota Hood Pack, Free-Spirited and the Emberpup Backpack Pack. Two of those are the halves of a full outfit set.
Is Journey Handbook the Aniimo battle pass?
No. The battle pass is a separate menu called the Companion Handbook, with 100 levels, a free Standard track and paid Advanced and Collector’s editions. Its Part 1 phase closed on 28 October 2026 like the check-in, and a new phase opened with the 29 October update. Journey Handbook was the 30 day check-in, and it was free.
Will Journey Handbook come back?
Nothing published says so. The launch calendar showed a single window with no repeat, and neither the Season 1 Part 2 calendar on aniimo.com nor the Update Notice of 27 October 2026 lists it.
Every date on this page is the UTC+8 calendar day the official source publishes, re-checked on 29 October 2026. Rewards the game has not announced are written as such rather than estimated.
