La Mina Madrid [Brown Experience: The Mine]

Colors by Experiencity [prev. Hidden Escape Room]

Escape room
IRL

A long, massive and immersive room with an amazing set! Many creative and interesting puzzles throughout. Flow is well, all puzzles make perfect sense and is designed very well. Some physical activities are involved and lots of cool elements in the whole experience, which adds to the consistent immersiveness of the room. All important clues have English translation so it’s completely English friendly (our GM speaks perfect English too)! Super fun and cool finale wrapping up the experience! Must try in Madrid for non-horror fans! Would definitely recommend a face mask cuz it’s quite dusty in a “cave”!

Experiencia Amarilla [Yellow Experience]

Colors Escape Room by Experiencity

Escape room
IRL

An amazing and massive room with many WOW moments. Crazy set with lots of puzzles and creative ideas integrated. Can definitely see lots of effort put into making the set. Interaction with GM is done in a creative way adding to the immersiveness. Some physical activity involved. We do happen to have some doubts and flow issues in some puzzles due to language barriers in clues and with our GM. But shout out to our amazing GM who made our experience super immersive and hilarious! Overall, would say this is a must try in Madrid for non-horror fans given how amazing the set is! Looking forward to try out the other colours!

Experiencia Ciudad De Vacaciones [Vacation City Experience]

The City by Experiencity Escape Room Madrid

Escape room
IRL

Hands down one of the most diverse room I’ve played. Puzzles make sense and are very fun to solve. It’s quite a long room with lots of space used. Set is done nicely with many cool elements integrated! Another completely English friendly room with important clues all translated into English and our GM speaks perfect English! Also quite physically active of an experience I would say. Personally feels a bit overwhelmed in the experience but it’s definitely worth a try due to the nice set and cool puzzles and also a very long experience!

The Tokyo Matrix - CLOSED

The Tokyo Matrix

Escape room
IRL

Happy to add this experience in Morty! The Tokyo Matrix is a completely English-friendly progression game, where players have to clear 5 quests to succeed. The team will have 3 lives and 2 paid continues, a life will be lost if you fail a quest. We played the SAO theme Anomaly Quest which is ending on 5th Jan. I believe they will have other themes coming soon. The Tokyo Matrix adopt a very special way of registration where you have to use your smartphone for admin stuff (forming your party, calling items, check-ins, continues). Entries and continues are all done using Tapolo (their in game currency which players have to buy themselves). The game also involves the use of items to make the quest easier. Some items are given for free for the first time but you’ll have to use Tapolo to call for more and better ones. Now speaking of the game itself, the space is huge and the Anomaly Quest offers a very diverse set of mini games, mostly done on screens and monitors. Different abilities like strength, memories, teamwork, listening, reaction speed, strategy, etc may be tested. They are fun to solve but could be quite stressful under time pressure, difficulty also increases through stages. Be sure to consult staff if you’re unsure about the instructions for the best experience, you may feel quite clueless on the first try. We have been to the Tokyo Matrix three times and could not reach Quest 4. Personally think that the games got quite hard without items, which makes it really difficult to pass the quest. Especially whilst items and continues are both obtained through payment, it almost just feels like the more money you spent, the more likely you’ll pass the challenge. All in all, I would recommend the Tokyo Matrix for a one time experience thing. Even though you may not be able to clear the challenge in one go, you’ll still experience the general fun of it as some free items are available for first timers. If you would want to play repeatedly to clear the game however, it’ll either be costly for an easier experience through items calling or just pure grinding, neither of them is the best experience thus I would not recommend.

女王と国のために [For Queen & Country]

Studio Escape Nipponbashi

Escape room
IRL

Hands down one of the best room I’ve done so far. Super immersive room with amazing set and technology, puzzles flows perfectly and all connected to story. Storyline is also complete and interesting. A lot of cool and engaging elements are added to the experience, never stopped getting impressed throughout. It is also completely English friendly with all audio and clues in English. We did experience a technical difficulty mid-way which our GM had to come in and fix, but it didn’t bother us too much in general. This is definitely a must try for me, love the high-tech, smoothnesses and immersiveness in this room, everything is so perfectly connected. Very impressive!

欲望のダイヤモンド [The Dame & the Diamond] Version 2 - CLOSED

Studio Escape Nipponbashi

Escape room
IRL

This room is such a vibe for me! Absolutely in love with the vintage set and atmosphere. Great props with clever mechanics that add so much to the experience and immersion. Puzzles all connected to the storyline and flows well. It is narrative based which guides you smoothly and adds humour as well. Completely English friendly with all audio and clues in English. Another banger room from Studio Escape which leaves me such a huge impression! Absolutely love our GM and the bar at the end!

Escape from a Silent World - CLOSED

REAL ESCAPE GAME CROSSING Asakusa

Escape room
IRL

This is not an escape room but a tabletop, where players sit in their seat and solve puzzles without having to move around. This is definitely an interesting experience as you are not allowed to communicate with sounds with your teammates. Our GM even suggested us to wear mask to be immersive. We are brought to a room with other players as well and got allocated to our own table. The room is very quiet as no one is allowed to make a sound. I love how the puzzles are picture based and are completely language-free. Puzzles are nothing spectacular but are all logical. What makes the experience fun is how you communicate with your teammates with only gestures and eye contact, it is hilarious for me. Some puzzles are hard and require a lot of cooperation. We got stuck on the last puzzles unfortunately, which requires you to think outside of the box a bit. Overall, unquie experience in Japan, would recommend if you have time and love puzzle solving!

Escape from the Red Room

REAL ESCAPE GAME CROSSING Asakusa

Escape room
IRL

A very cool room that you’ll probably not find elsewhere. We went there as a group of 2 and got paired up with another Japanese player (non-English speaker), and sadly we did not escape. I really love the fact that they tried to make the room language barrier free with no words at all. However, I still think language barrier creates communication difficulties within our group and we do not understand each other’s ideas very well. Aside from that, the main concept of the room is super cool and unique. Puzzles are okay with no story and music at all during the experience. We are treated really nicely by the GMs and they are super friendly. GMs will stay in the room with you during the experience but in my opinion, their hint system is not extremely useful (they use very subtle languages to try not to spoil the room). Overall, it will be a cool experience if you do it with players speaking the same language. I love their effort in making their escape room more accessible for mixed language group and language barrier free. But if you ask me, I’ll probably still want to do it with people speaking the same language as me.

Escape From The Haunted Manor

REAL ESCAPE GAME CROSSING Asakusa

Escape room
IRL

Love this room! Personally as a non-horror fan and don’t play rooms with live actors that much, this room has just the right amount of scares. Puzzles in this room are relatively simple and straightforward and don’t add much to the story, the focus is more on the horror experience. There are a few jumpscares and interaction with live actor which makes the room more immersive. I love the set design, a realistic Japanese house which integrates well with the story. Interactions with the live actor are also logical. GM stays in the room for hints. I think some people may think that it breaks the immersiveness a bit, but for our group of 2 non-horror fans, our GM acts as our emotional support. Despite the language barrier, our GM still tried to use simple English to communicate with us and encourage us to explore the spaces, ensuring us to enjoy the most out of the room. We are given an ending of the story after we escaped, which wraps up everything well. This room is also completely English friendly, hints and story are all available in English. Would definitely recommend if you are interested in slightly scary room and are looking for a horror experience more than a puzzle solving room.

絶望要塞 - Impossible Games [Despair Fortress - Impossible Games]

Fuji-Q Highland

Escape room
IRL

Very fun experience in Fuji-Q! More of a challenge than an escape room. The game involves 5 stages of games, in which you have to pass all 5 stages in one go to succeed. Each stage includes various mini games and if you fail a stage, you’ll have to leave immediately. We are first timers and went in as a group of 2, the difficulty is adjusted to the number of players. We are average players making it to stage 2. In my opinion, I think it’s quite impossible to complete the game first try unless you’re an extraordinary genius! Mini games are super fun involving various elements like physical, searching, reaction time, common sense, etc. The venue is huge and cool looking. The game can take up a long time if you’re making it to higher stages so be sure to manage your time in Fuji-Q. Overall, it’s a very fun and different addition to all the exciting rides in Fuji-Q, providing you a very diverse experience with tons of mini games to try out! Definitely try it out if you have the time!

Da Vinci

Strike Highpoint

Escape room
IRL

Quite a mid room in general. Does what an escape room should do and nothing more, logical puzzles that has an okay flow. The set feels quite worn off and puzzles are basic. The story is shallow with not much connection with the puzzles. You’ll always hear bowling sounds outside so there’s not much immersiveness as well. Just mid overall but their price is relatively low.

Forensic

Strike Highpoint

Escape room
IRL

Nothing special with the room so just a mid room in general. Puzzles are basic and logical which have an okay flow. The story is shallow with not too much connection with the puzzles. You’ll always hear bowling sounds outside so there’s not much immersiveness as well. However these may all be reasonable given the relatively low price they charge.

Injustice

Strike Highpoint

Escape room
IRL

Another a mid room in Strike. The set feels quite worn off and puzzles are basic, some puzzles don’t flow very well which makes it quite challenging even with hints. There is a relatively skill-based physical puzzle which will be quite challenging if you’re not strong enough. The story is shallow with not much connection with the puzzles. You’ll always hear bowling sounds outside so there’s not much immersiveness as well. Just mid overall but their price is relatively low.

Y2K, Party Like It's 1999

Escape Academy - Cairns

Escape room
IRL

Great room with a lot of puzzles! We did it with 2 people and Sean was amazing to help us with the 4-people puzzle in the room. There is only one room but tons of puzzles in there, they are based in the 1999 which brings back memories. Some skill based puzzles make the room really unique and fun. Love it!

The Artefact

Next Level Escape

Escape room
IRL

Artefact is definitely a fun room! Puzzles with high-tech elements add to the theme and are very interesting to solve. Everything makes sense and flows well. Part of a puzzle requires teamwork and is certainly hilarious. Players have to constantly interact with an AI which makes the experience unique to everyone. The set is great and nothing is worn off. Next Level definitely utilise their limited space well. Would recommend!
