Real Escape Game x I Am a Hero - Mild Terror and Hard Terror Modes to Debut by Popular Demand!

The real escape game “Aru Byouin Kara Dasshutsu” (Escape the Hospital!) is a collaboration between SCRAP and the massively popular manga franchise I Am a Hero created by Kengo Hanazawa and published by Shogakukan. Launched on March 11, 2016, the event takes place at Korakuen Himitsu Kichi (SCRAP’s secret Korakuen base), in Bunko, Tokyo. The venue itself is in fact a disused general hospital, so participants can really get into the spirit of the game. The event allows you to solve the whole mystery within the limited time you spend inside the haunted house-like atmosphere and has proved extremely popular, welcoming a large number of visitors every day.

Things are about to change from July 20 as, due to popular demand, in addition to the regular event, “Mild” and an even more terrifying “Hard” mode are set to be added to the roster. So if you’re of a more nervous disposition and don’t fancy the full-on horror approach, or if the regular show wasn’t scary enough for you this is your chance to experience the event anew.

Mild Terror vs Hard Terror
The event is about to add two new game modes - a less scary “Kyoufu Mild”, and the way too terrifying “Kyoufu Hard.” Of course they’re keeping the regular “Kyoufu Normal” mode too so there will be three different levels of fear that you can try out from July, though the main story isn’t going to change.

Group Tickets
You can get a group ticket if you form a team of one to four people, so if you want to plan your escape with just your friends and family, this is the ticket you want. It works out a little cheaper than buying four separate tickets, so it’s quite a good value if you have the right number of people.

You can start the game any time from the entry time until the deadline. Just visit the reception desk before it’s too late to enter, but you have to use the ticket at the specified time and date.

Now’s the time you really need to step it up. Can you solve the mystery and save the remaining humans from the onslaught of ZQN invading the hospital?
