QUICK QUESTIONS: Q: Is there English support? A: Yes! Though some of the puzzle hints could use better translating, all of the game's "codec conversations" and paper instructions are available in English and the staff speaks fluent English as well.
Q: How much money should I expect to spend? A: Between 3800 and 12000 yen ($38-$109,) depending on your group size, how much time you take and how many times you get "shot" by the guard actors. Make it affordable by splitting up the costs for each group member. I recommend a group of 2.
Q: Is this event still going on? A: Yes! This event is scheduled until March 31st, and the tradition of these game-themed pop-up businesses typically have them returning in following years depending on popularity
Q: Where is the event located? Where do buy tickets? A: In the "Tokyo Mystery Circus" building in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. Links are below.
