📖 THE STORY

You wake up in a strange room. After examining the area, you solve a puzzle and open the door, only to discover yet another unfamiliar room. You continue unlocking doors, but there's no exit in view, and the rooms seem to taunt you as they stretch on indefinitely. Trapped in a labyrinth of rooms, can you find your way out?

あなたは謎めいた部屋で目を覚ます。パズルを解き、鍵を開け、脱出できたと思ったのも束の間、そこにはまた別の部屋が待ち受けている。ここは「ナインルームズ」。一度足を踏み入れたら、簡単には抜け出せない。パズルを解いても、次に待っているのはまた別の部屋。あなたはすべてのパズルを解き、この脱出不可能な「ナインルームズ」から脱出できるだろうか？

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

These puzzles are unlike those found in a typical escape room, showcasing remarkable innovation in their thought process. We especially enjoyed one that engaged our auditory system.
Experiencing these nine rooms felt like utilizing all of our five senses, taking us on a journey through our sensory system.

昔ながらのシンプルな脱出ゲームがそのまま現実になったような、古典的な「ザ・リアル脱出ゲーム」とういう印象。NINE ROOMSシリーズのシステムの基本を体験できる第一弾のルームで、ストーリーは特になく、「ただ謎を解いて部屋から脱出する」というシンプルでわかりやすい内容のため、初心者でも十分に楽しめるだろう。一方で、熟練プレーヤーにとっては懐かしさを感じるゲームかもしれない。友達や恋人、家族など、誰と一緒に遊んでもワイワイ楽しめるゲームだと思う。
新しい部屋に入るたびに、形やタイプの異なるさまざまな謎が登場するので飽きない。徐々に難易度が上がっていく流れも良く、特にラストの部屋の謎は印象的。時間内に解けた時の爽快感は大きいだろう。
時間を消費する、もしくは時間の経過に応じて段階的なヒントがタブレットに表示されるため、謎につまった時でも安心感がある。
他のSCRAPのゲームとは異なり、追加料金を支払えば時間を延長できるほか、最後の部屋にいる場合は、リベンジチケットを購入して再挑戦することも可能。

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

This game did not provide the storyline and set design vibe we found in their other games. Unlike their previous offerings, escaping the final room did not provide the same level of satisfaction. It felt like a sequence of puzzles rather than a complete experience.
Some puzzles presented visual challenges that were difficult to connect to the solutions. Additionally, the "hints" were not particularly helpful in those cases, and we eventually resorted to the solution, which diminished the satisfaction of solving it ourselves.

（私たちは朝一番の回でプレイしたため問題なかったが）前のチームが謎に詰まっている場合、彼らが先に進むまで待ち時間が発生してしまう。その結果、ゲームの勢いやテンポがとまってしまうのは少しもったいない。
自分たちの進捗だけでなく、他チームの状況によってもゲーム全体のプレイ時間が左右されるため、ゲーム前後の予定が立てにくい。
コンティニューやリベンジに追加料金がかかる点。

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

Escape from the Nine Room is one SCRAP's "Nine Room" series, designed to accommodate multiple teams starting the game at 15-minute intervals. This game places a strong emphasis on puzzles rather than room design, challenging players to think outside the box rather than relying on traditional puzzle types. Participants must swiftly connect visual and written clues to succeed. While we felt some puzzles had a significant leaps in logic, which can be challenging under time constraints, the final puzzle particularly exemplifies this. It's possible that a language barrier made the hint less clear for us than it might be for Japanese players. Compared to this, we definitely prefer "Escape from the Witch's House in the Woods." However, you might make that connection right away and escape with time to spare!

「Escape from The NINE ROOMS」は、SCRAPのNINE ROOMSシリーズの第一作目で、クラシックな脱出ゲームを体験できる公演です。部屋の装飾はシンプルで派手さはないものの、さまざまなタイプの謎が散りばめられた９つの部屋を巡る構成はとても楽しいです。初めてリアル脱出ゲームをに挑戦する人にもおすすめです。渋谷を訪れた際には、ぜひ遊んでみてください。
