Innovative
Interactive Multiplayer Puzzle Solving Game Originally Invented In
Japan Returns To The Bay Area On A Semi-Permanent Basis
San Francisco, CA, December 3, 2012 –
NEW PEOPLE, a dynamic entertainment destination bringing the latest
examples of Japanese popular culture to North American shores, has
teamed up with creative company, SCRAP, to launch a new home for the popular “Real Escape Game” at the notable Japanese Pop Culture venue through 2013.
“The Real Escape Room: SF Vol. 1 – Escape from the Mysterious Room” opens on Friday, December 14th
and will run periodically thru 2013. Multiple game sessions will take
place most weekends on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays inside NEW
PEOPLE’s 3rd floor SUPERFROG Gallery space. NEW PEOPLE is
located in San Francisco’s Japantown district at 1746 Post St. (Cross
St. is Webster Ave.). More information at: www.newpeopleworld.com.
“The Real Escape Room” will be the newly installed, semi-permanent home for the latest version of “The Real Escape Game,” which
is an inventive puzzle solving interactive game event, originally
created in Japan, which requires players to cooperate and use their
intuition and detective skills to solve multiple mysteries within a
limited time.
In “The Real Escape Room: SF Vol. 1 – Escape from the Mysterious Room,”
players find themselves locked inside a seemingly ordinary room. It has
a desk, chairs, a carpet – everything seems normal. But on closer
inspection players will find a series of mysterious codes and puzzles
that must be solved in order to find a hidden key to escape. The maximum
capacity of participants for each game will be limited to 11 people.
Game duration is around 1.5 hours (including introductions and a
solution walkthrough). More than 10,000 people have played this game in
Japan, China, and Taiwan.
The Real Escape Room: SF Vol. 1 – Escape from the Mysterious Room Game Times:
Fridays: 6:30pm, 8:30pm
Saturdays: 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm, 7pm
Sundays: 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm
“The Real Escape Game thrilled hundreds of players during several sessions held previously in San Francisco, most recently with the Real Escape Game x Evangelion: Escape from an Angel, which was inspired by the hit Evangelion
anime series and staged during the 2012 J-Pop Summit Festival last
summer,” says Seiji Horibuchi, the President/CEO of NEW PEOPLE, Inc. “We
are very excited to again team up with SCRAP to present a brand
new installment that will run weekly at the NEW PEOPLE venue. Join other
plays and test your powers of deduction and reasoning with this
intriguing and fun game!”
