Cuz JJ finally made it out of the safehouse. You received a notebook that probably can help you with retrieving the Joro treasure. Hopefully there are no more surprise on Joro island?

Like the previous episodes, we're given an intro letter giving us a little reminder of what happened in the last episode. If you wanted to have a full summary of ep 1-10, scan the barcode on the intro letter and read their recap section.


You'll be needing internet for this game as communication with cuz JJ will be through a chat room. This is where you'll input your answers and receive information in text or video format from JJ. We found no issues playing it on our phones but of course you can use your computer as well. At one point you'll also be needing a scissor.


Since we have the hard version of the game, we only received a check, notebook and a barcode card that provided the link to the theme music and hints/solutions. In the easy version, you'll also receive a flow card which gives you additional cluing on what steps to take.

If you remember Ep 4: On the Run, you might feel that the passport have some resemblance with the notebook. Through the game play, you'll discover more Easter eggs from the past games. We thought that was really clever to string the storyline together through puzzles since we're almost at the end.


Some puzzle types might be easy to spot for experienced puzzlers without the additional cluing but it's great that clues were also embedded in the storyline should you need them. Once you figure out the starting point, the rest will fall into place. There were two multi-step puzzles in this game that took us awhile to figure out. For this reason, I would say this is probably the most difficult episode from Mobile Escape thus far. I love Mobile Escape's hint and solution section. Other than the tiered nudges, you'll also get step by step images or videos explaining the solution so everything is super clear.

I can't believe there's only one episode left of Season One! We're really going to miss cuz JJ. From Ep 1, we saw the growth and creativity from Mobile Escape in every episode going forward. The outside filming (love the drone footage) with professional actors really bought the audience into a real world experience rather than just an "at home tabletop" game. In this episode, they also implemented a new technique in one of the puzzles as well. On the one hand, I can't wait for the finale but on the other hand, I can't help but feel a bit sentimental but there's got to be a Season 2 right?
