Escape from the Blue Room

Definitely not for beginners. Staff mentioned there was about a 15% escape rate. With 4 people we kept feeling strapped for time and ended up needing hints for every single puzzle. Every puzzle was interesting and unique so I'm glad to have done the room, but I wish there were half as many puzzles or twice as much time so we could actually try more than one idea before receiving a hint. The puzzles are challenging enough that I feel like more people is better, but the design is also fairly linear which means you'll be crowding around the same puzzle often

- Room is not private. I paid $150 USD total to make it private for me and my partner. - Employees said they cater to Japanese guests first but they can guide us/ translate if we reserved the whole room. - The room literally is not in the Japanese language at all. They have more English aspects. It’s more just using your eyes to see and brain to put it together. They did an intro with a paper in English explaining the rules. - Our guide was in the room with us 95% of the time.

Even more fun and interesting than the Red Room. Unique and fun puzzles. Some puzzles are difficult and maybe not the most intuitive to more beginner players. Open to English speakers. Highly recommend and the best room we’ve played in Tokyo. We played with 2 people but may be easier with 3+.

This is peak puzzle design. One of the most incredible progressions of layered tactile puzzle of any escape room I've seen globally, and an insidiously challenging but mind-blowingly cool final sequence (which is still cool even if you fail to get it all!) 10/10.
