Supervised by :  TOKYO MYSTERY CIRCUS

TOKYO MYSTERY CIRCUS is an immersive entertainment facility created by SCRAP, the team behind projects such as “Real Escape Game.” Located in Shinjuku’s Kabukicho area, it hosts puzzle-solving and mystery-focused games and events every day.

Inside, you can experience “Real Escape Game,” where you solve mysteries within a time limit, along with other immersive events where you become a character in the story. Each title differs in its setting, difficulty, and the number of participants, making it enjoyable for everyone from first-timers to experienced players.

The lineup ranges from short experiences you can join in a brief window to longer, story-driven events. Because the event lineup changes depending on the season, you can enjoy a different experience each time you visit. Advance reservations are recommended, and popular events may sell out early. There is also a merchandise shop and a cafe inside, so you can enjoy the afterglow of the experience even after you finish playing.
