Japanese Massage Center | Tao Room Escape

A highly recommended game for anyone in the mood for FUN! Packed full of silly and interesting puzzles with cool acting and interactions with the GM. We loved every second inside, including our surprise ending

Me ha encanTAO

One of the most fun rooms I've had the pleasure of playing! We find ourselves immersed in the theme of the room from the moment we enter, with really funny instructions! The adventure begins in a very zen atmosphere which wastes no time in switching to a funny atmosphere. Mixing ultra original puzzles and truly crazy situations where everyone finds their role, there's no time to get bored! The adventure is guided by a very mischievous boyfriend who does not fail to create humor whenever he can. I understand its classification in the Terpeca, its originality makes it one of the coolest rooms I have been to, it is unlike any other and we had a great time! (little extra: leaving with your little souvenir, it’s nice!)

Fun and different and goofy, though I personally wouldn't rank it as highly as the 2021 Terpeca--the narrative/puzzle flow didn't work that well for me, and it bugged me that some of the interactions were clearly GM-triggered rather than automated. Note that you'll be asked to strip down to your underwear and put on a kimono, and then later do a lot of crawling and jumping--so make sure you have underwear that doesn't reveal more than you want (or just ignore that instruction). Some of the rooms are very dark but I think the GM can see everything through IR cameras. In the first few minutes of the game, the (Spanish) GM walks in wearing a mask, bows a few times, and in a Japanese accent compliments you on how you look wearing a robe: "so sexy". You might find this funny and flattering, or you might find it offensive. It put me a little on edge. Fortunately, the GM interacts with you throughout the rest of the game as a cricket; a callback to Disney's Mulan which was a little less off-putting.

Players may switch into their undergarments in front of one another and then wear kimonos. The females of our group did not feel comfortable doing so, and remained fully dressed beneath our kimonos. Please do not feel obligated to disrobe if you do not desire to do so. The kimonos easily come undone and there will be opportunities to crawl and jump. I wish for you to feel at ease and have a wonderful time. I appreciate the creativity of the game, as did the rest of our team.
