How Many Jack Frosts Are In The Train is a two-part question from a character named Kruzhkova in Genshin Impact. She stops you near a train track in Snezhnaya, asks you to count the Jack Frosts inside a train car, then pulls a bait-and-switch to try and catch you out. The good news is the answers are fixed, and you cannot lose anything even if Kruzhkova tries to scam you. This short encounter is one of several fun Jack Frost moments scattered around Snezhnaya, similar to the Small Jack Frost Big Problems quest that takes place at Jack Frost Village. If you are already working through the region’s Jack Frost content, you may also want to check out the Dizzy Jack Frost quest guide for another nearby encounter.

Where to Find Kruzhkova in Genshin Impact
Kruzhkova stands by the train track southeast of Morepesok in Snezhnaya. You do not need to go looking for her specifically. When you walk into the area, the game automatically pulls you into the conversation. So if you are exploring that part of the map, you will run into her whether you plan to or not.
There is no quest marker for this encounter beforehand. It just starts when you enter the zone. Keep that in mind if you are trying to find her.
How Many Jack Frosts Are In The Train – Both Correct Answers
Kruzhkova asks her question in two rounds. She deliberately tries to confuse you, but the correct answers are straightforward once you know what to say.
First Question – Total Jack Frosts in the Train
Kruzhkova asks you to look at the train and count how many Jack Frosts you can see inside. She keeps her wording vague on purpose. She says “that kind of Jack Frost” without specifying anything clearly.
Correct answer: There are 16 of them in total.
The full number of Jack Frosts packed into the train car is 16. Say this when she first asks.
Second Question – Jack Frosts Wearing Hats
After you give the answer of 16, Kruzhkova claims you are wrong. She says she meant “Jack Frosts wearing hats” all along, not all Jack Frosts. This is her attempt to change the rules midway so she can declare you lost.
Look at the train again and count only the ones wearing hats.
Correct answer: There are 5 of them in total.
Give her this answer and she will accept it and move on to the reward.
Watch Out for Decoys Inside the Train
If you want to count yourself rather than just using the answers above, you need to know what to ignore. The train has several decoys mixed in among the real Jack Frosts to throw you off. These do not count and should not be included in your total.
- A snowman placed among the crowd
- Matryoshka dolls that look similar to the small fae
- Rolling snowballs moving through the car
- A Jack Frost inside an eggshell-like outfit that makes it look like something else entirely
The Jack Frosts in the eggshell outfit is the trickiest one. It looks nothing like a normal Jack Frost at first glance, so it is easy to skip over when counting. Make sure you include it in your total of 16.
What Happens After You Answer Correctly
Once you tell Kruzhkova there are 5 Jack Frosts wearing hats, she says you are right and hands over what looks like a Luxurious Chest. This is where the scam kicks in.
The Chest Downgrade Scam
As you go to open the chest, it keeps shrinking in rarity. The Luxurious Chest becomes a Precious Chest, then an Exquisite Chest, then a Common Chest, and finally just a plain Investigation box. Inside you find a small amount of Mora and a pouch filled with vegetables.
Yes, it is a scam. But do not panic.
You Still Get the Real Luxurious Chest
The person with you refuses to let Kruzhkova walk away. They chase her down and confront her. Kruzhkova explains why she has been tricking travelers and promises to stop. She also reveals how she managed to get so many Jack Frosts into one train — she lured them with an announcement about free food, and the innocent fae all climbed aboard.
Kruzhkova then flees. The Jack Frosts, now realizing they were tricked too, want to thank you for freeing them. They hand you a genuine Luxurious Chest as a thank-you. So despite the scam, you actually come out ahead. You did not lose anything, and you still get the best chest reward.
Quick Answer Reference Table
- Kruzhkova Question 1: How many of that kind of Jack Frost did you see? → 16
- Kruzhkova Question 2: How many Jack Frosts wearing hats did you see? → 5
Tips If You Get Confused
- Do not try to count the snowmen or dolls. They are decoys. Only count the actual Jack Frosts.
- The eggshell Jack Frost counts. It looks different but it is still a Jack Frost. Do not skip it.
- The order matters. Say 16 first. Only say 5 after she changes the question to hats.
- You cannot fail this permanently. Even if you hesitate or pick a wrong dialogue option, the encounter still resolves with the real Luxurious Chest at the end.
More Jack Frost Quests to Try in Snezhnaya
The Kruzhkova encounter is just one of many Jack Frost activities spread across Snezhnaya. After you are done here, there is plenty more to find. The Hide and Seek Jack Frosts quest at the House of Hesperides sends you looking for three hidden Jack Frosts around the mansion. The Excitement-Loving Jack Frost challenge is another quick activity worth doing for extra Intricately Patterned Buttons. You can also complete the Jack Frost Train Puzzle, which is a separate train-themed challenge involving a Separated Jack Frost and three Panicked friends trapped in locked train cars. It is different from Kruzhkova’s quest, so do not mix the two up.
If you are collecting every Jack Frost reward in the region, make sure to visit the Jack Frosts’ Goodies Shop to spend your Intricately Patterned Buttons. The shop unlocks after you complete the Small Jack Frost Big Problems quest at Jack Frost Village. You can also look at other Snezhnaya content like the Sorrowful Jack Frost Lost Friend quest and the Catch Thief Jack Frost Hot Spring quest to keep building your Intricately Patterned Button count.

No. Even though the chest Kruzhkova gives you keeps downgrading from Luxurious all the way down to a plain Investigation box with just some Mora and vegetables inside, you do not actually lose anything. After Kruzhkova is chased down and confronted, the Jack Frosts she had lured into the train give you a genuine Luxurious Chest as a thank-you for freeing them.
Where is Kruzhkova located in Genshin Impact?
Kruzhkova is found at the train track southeast of Morepesok in Snezhnaya. You do not need to search for a quest marker. Walking into the area automatically triggers the conversation with her, so just head to that part of the map and it will start on its own.
