The event, officially titled Exit 8: Tokyo Metro Escape Game, transforms the city’s subway network into a terrifying, puzzle-filled labyrinth. To participate, players must purchase a dedicated game kit, which contains the clues and tools needed to crack the mysteries. Each player is expected to buy their own kit, though families can opt for a special mode where parents share hints and solutions with children.
Once registered through the Escape.ID portal, participants use their smartphones to follow prompts, solve riddles and track progress. The experience unfolds across multiple stations, taking between three and five hours to complete.
