Solution

Analysing the description we obtained the following information

  • The encryption algorithm is BlowFish

  • The key is an ID Line of the one who tasked Drian with this task which is the event organiser itself. A quick tour to their Instagram profile will reveal their Line ID which is hqx0844o

  • "Crash Team Racing" can be abbreviated as CTR which is the BlowFish encryption mode that was used to encrypt the message

  • The IV is Attack on Titan's first episode, which aired on 07 April 2013. Thus can be written as 07042013

With the information gathered, we can head to CyberChef with said configuration to decrypt it.
