QuizKnock, operated by baton Inc. (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yosuke Kinugawa), has joined the 'Shibuya Yami-Baito Zero Project' as a special partner and produced a collaboration video titled "[Shibuya Yami-Baito Zero Project] QuizKnock Challenges 'Dark Part-Time Job Identification Quiz'". The project is co-hosted by Dip Corporation (Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Hideki Tomita) and Shibuya Mirai Design General Incorporated Association (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hideki Koizumi), and supported by Shibuya Ward.

The 'Shibuya Yami-Baito Zero Project' (https://www.baitoru.com/pdt/yamibaitozero/shibuya/) launched today, April 2, 2026 (Thursday), with the aim of achieving zero involvement of young people in 'dark part-time jobs' and realizing a society where all job seekers can work safely and authentically. Dip Corporation, which operates one of Japan's largest part-time job search sites, is collaborating with partner companies, organizations, and educational institutions, including Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, to promote "practical crime prevention literacy" to protect high school students from increasingly sophisticated recruitment tactics and prevent them from unknowingly participating in criminal activities.

As a special partner of the 'Shibuya Yami-Baito Zero Project,' QuizKnock will develop content that allows young people, especially high school students and job seekers, to learn about 'dark part-time jobs' in an enjoyable and relatable way.

The video, "[Shibuya Yami-Baito Zero Project] QuizKnock Challenges 'Dark Part-Time Job Identification Quiz'," released today on Dip Corporation's official YouTube channel "Shigoto Real," features QuizKnock members, including Takuji Izawa, explaining the risks of sweet-sounding phrases like "high income," "white-collar job," and "same-day payment" often found in actual 'dark part-time job' recruitment advertisements, using a multiple-choice quiz format.

Furthermore, as the first phase of awareness activities utilizing this video, an outreach class will be conducted at Tokyo Metropolitan Daiichi Commercial High School in Shibuya Ward. This will serve as a model case, with plans to expand the awareness campaign to high schools nationwide in the future.
