Players of Genshin Impact must answer that there are 16 and 5 Jack Frosts in the train to complete the Kruzhkova quest, a mission involving a would-be scammer who picks the wrong target. The question appears during the Forbidding Doors of Melancholy and related quests, and getting it right rewards players without any loss.

The Kruzhkova quest in Genshin Impact presents players with a puzzle: how many Jack Frosts are in the train? The correct answer is 16 and 5, a detail that emerges during the questline involving a wannabe scammer who quickly learns their lesson after scamming the wrong person. The mission is part of a series of quests, including "Forbidding Doors of Melancholy," "In The Dwelling Of Life," and "Small Jack Frost Big Problems," all of which guide players through the encounter.

The quest begins when players encounter Kruzhkova, a character attempting to deceive others. However, the tables turn, and players can complete the mission without losing anything, gaining rewards instead. The specific question about Jack Frosts is a key moment in the dialogue, requiring players to input the correct number to progress. The answer "16 and 5" refers to the count of these icy enemies in the train setting, a detail that may not be immediately obvious without exploration.

Coverage of this quest spread across multiple outlets, with GameRant publishing a series of guides over about two and a half hours. The first guide, "Forbidding Doors of Melancholy Quest Guide In Genshin Impact," appeared at the start, followed by guides for subsequent quests and finally a dedicated article on the Jack Frost count. This sequential release reflects the quest's multi-step nature, though all outlets agree on the core answer and the quest's outcome.
