Gakuran Activities: Clubs, Chess, Karaoke & Things to Do
What is there to do in Gakuran when you are not fighting? This page covers the board's activity cards — chess and Connect Four, karaoke, arm wrestling, clubs, NPC events, fireworks, vending machines, seasons, and the pity system — and links the instruments, songs, accessories, and NPC interaction pages that keep their own guides.
Things to do in Gakuran
Beyond combat, the Official Board documents a set of small systems that give the school something to do: games in the board game room, karaoke and arm wrestling, club membership with its own uniforms, seasonal changes, fireworks bought with yen, and the pity system that softens bad rolls.
Four activity cards are big enough to keep a page of their own — instruments, playable songs, accessories, and NPC interaction — so this hub links them instead of copying them. Two more (chalk boards and the job system) already have dedicated how-tos and are listed at the end, together with their destinations.
Activities
The board's catch-all activity card: chess and Connect Four in the board game room (NPC opponents included), karaoke at 100¥ a song through the TV or iPad, and arm wrestling on the rooftop or in the café.

Where these activity descriptions come from
Every section is republished from the open cards on the official Gakuran Trello board ↗ Features list. The board is the authority: when an activity changes, this page is regenerated from the next sync, and a new Features card fails the build until it is documented here.
The per-card Guide Pages are still online, but they duplicate these sections, so they stay out of search results and point back to /activities.
