- Escape Game to Be Released on Dec. 19, Packed with Scenes Allowing Players to Enjoy Sightseeing of Tokyo -
Mystery-solving Game to Be Delivered to World by Haregake from Japan
Haregake Inc., which produces mystery-solving games in Japan, will release on December 19 “World Detective Mystery Episode. Tokyo - The ENIGMA and the Secret Treasure -,” a game that players can enjoy in English while staying home. The game is part of “Tokyo Nazotoki Escape,” an international entertainment brand Haregake launched in October 2020.
It is an escape game full of scenes in Tokyo allowing players to enjoy virtual sightseeing of the Japanese capital.
A player with the role of a detective will search throughout Tokyo to solve a mystery at a Tokyo girl’s request. Well-known tourist attractions in Tokyo appear in the game and these scenes have keys to solving the mystery. The video is made from the perspective of players, allowing them to virtually stroll in Tokyo with the heroine.
Players will receive a “mysterious letter” after buying the game. Players are supposed to play the game while using a card and notes enclosed in the letter. A video of various places in Tokyo can be viewed on a website listed in the letter to solve the mystery.
The company hopes people who have refrained from outings due to the COVID-19 crisis and lost opportunities to travel in Japan or overseas will enjoy the game.
