📖 THE STORY

A mysterious small room suddenly appears in Real Escape Room Shimokitazawa, and you are locked in this room with strange items and figures. You have only 10 minutes to escape from this room! Are you ready for the challenge?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• It was an exciting game with fun and a slight sense of rush. The length of the game was only 10 minutes. I believe it is a perfect game for warm-up if you play this game before you try other games.

• The game setting was simple. There were no embellished stories, and nothing was complicated. I loved that this room reminded me of classic escape games in the old times!

• The volume and difficulty of the puzzles were well-balanced for a short game. There were varieties of puzzles in such a small space. I loved that the game had physical puzzles or searching items rather than logical puzzles or puzzles on paper, which games by SCRAP usually have.

• Although there was a puzzle that might require knowledge of Japanese culture, SCRAP provided us with the information needed.

• No reservation was required to play this game. You can decide whether to play it or not on the spot.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• I cannot think of anything.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

“Escape from the Small Wonder Room” was a simple but exciting game with various puzzles in a small room. It was pure fun, just like a classic escape room. I recommend this game to everyone. It can be a great warm-up game for enthusiasts. Or it can be a great introductory game for those who have never tried escape rooms. Shimokitazawa is a vibrant town. It is easy to access from Shinjuku or Shibuya. If you are in Tokyo, why don’t you visit Shimokitazawa to get locked into this mysterious small room?
