## What is Escape Game?

A gentle escape game for beginners: escape five rooms from everyday Japan – a ryokan tatami room, a Showa-era ramen shop at night, a public bathhouse, a dagashi candy shop and a Shinto shrine at dusk.
The puzzles use no words, so anyone can play – in English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese or Simplified Chinese – and a hint is always one tap away.
All rooms are free to play, with ads. A one-time "Remove Ads" purchase (¥300 in Japan; price varies by country) turns off every ad.
The fifth room, the Shrine, opens on Fri, Oct 30, 2026 at 19:00 JST, with more rooms on the way.

Look around each softly rendered 3D room, tap anything that catches your eye, and work your way to the door. Find items, combine clues, and open number locks and colour-order locks.

ROOMS
- Ryokan tatami room – tatami, a teapot, a tea chest and a wall clock. What is this quiet guest room hiding?
- Showa ramen shop at night – the counter after closing time, full of retro details and clues.
- Sento changing room – lockers, a scale and the attendant's desk in a classic Japanese bathhouse.
- Candy Shop – jars of old-fashioned sweets, a capsule toy machine and a lottery box. Read the price tags and crack the capsule puzzle.
- Shrine – stone fox guardians, a taiko drum, ema plaques and a cabinet of fortune drawers. Return the fox's jewel and play the drum to get out. (Opens Oct 30, 19:00 JST)

FEATURES
- Just right for a short break
- Gentle difficulty, friendly for first-time escape players
- Wordless puzzles: look, tap, and figure it out
- Hints at any time with the lightbulb button – you never stay stuck
- Autosave: leave whenever you like and pick up where you left off
- Progress saved per room, with a check mark on every room you clear
- More rooms on the way

HOW TO PLAY
- Tap the left or right side of the screen to turn between the four walls
- Tap anything that looks interesting to take a closer look
- Items you pick up go to the bar at the bottom; select one, then tap where to use it
- Solve number locks and colour-order locks to move on
- Get through the door and you've escaped!

Enjoy a quiet, nostalgic trip through Japan – one "aha!" at a time.

This game is free to play. Ads: a banner at the bottom of the game screen and the room list, an ad on the room-clear screen, a full-screen ad after you clear a room and when you enter a room (at most once every 3 minutes), and an optional video ad if you choose to watch one for a hint. A one-time "Remove Ads" in-app purchase turns off all of these ads.

### 2/5 — 狭い

*2026-10-17*

説明にはプレイ時間一部屋10分〜15分と有りましたが3分くらいで三部屋をクリアしました。
あまり短くてラーメン屋だったことも銭湯だったことも分からないほど簡単すぎて退屈でした。
