SCRAP, the company behind Real Escape Game, previewed the venue for 'Escape from Kisaragi Station' at Real Escape Game Shibuya. The event starts July 16 and is based on the internet urban legend of the otherworldly station. Players solve puzzles without jump scares to find their way back. Three original merchandise items were revealed: an acrylic keychain, an A4 clear file, and escape success stickers. Some time slots are already sold out; September tickets go on general sale July 11.
The venue, Real Escape Game Shibuya, recreates an eerie station interior with platforms, a shop, a stationmaster's office, and a train that players can board. Photography is allowed throughout, so participants can take commemorative shots alongside solving puzzles. The game hands each player an old ticket and a 'Kisaragi Station 100% Safe Tourist Guidebook,' but the return instructions are encrypted. Players must investigate suspicious locations and notice inconsistencies to find their way back. The 60-minute experience has no time limit, is playable solo, and includes a guide to skip horror effects, making it accessible even for those who dislike horror. SCRAP, which has attracted over 17 million participants worldwide, is already seeing sold-out slots for the opening period.
