Fred the Barber Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I was kind of wondering how global the "escape room" thing was. We have them in Seattle too, and I did one for the first time a few weeks ago. It was very entertaining, even for someone relatively uncomfortable around strangers / anti-social like me. If you've got the opportunity and a couple of friends who are interested, you should give it a try (even if it isn't a Zero Escape-themed one...).

Nayru Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I've heard about this room a little while back and I envy anyone who will be able to take part in it. :3 I'd go there in a heartbeat. I did take part in a live escape room once before and it was a lot of fun, so I hope this one will be as much as fun to anyone who decides to go there! LOL for the Zero masks, clover bookmarks and axes. xD Wouldn't it be great if 9 cosplayers went into one of those rooms at once... Also, I kind of envy people who give the series their first try nowadays. I played VLR right after its release in EU, so I didn't miss out on the despair when it was announced that ZE3 wouldn't be happening anytime soon (if at all).

Hijiri Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Ok, I went to this yesterday and I have to say, if you really get into it you can actually believe you're in a true game like in 999/VLR. You even get to wear the watches and use them to open several doors. (And while there was a puzzle involving addition of the numbers on the watches, there was nothing on digital roots, sadly) While I won't divulge much, I should say that there is a very good reason Clover is on the poster. Plus, there's a lot of neat easter eggs scattered in the escape room that link back to the game. The only real issue I had with it is that in our escape, one of the teams discovered that their puzzle was more-or-less solved and left the rest of us for dead until the game master informed them that, yes, you still have to help the rest of us who are solving it the good old fashioned way. (ie do the human version of tapping every part of the screen and see if there's an answer there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Shit shit SHIT I'm going to this tonight with my onee-san, wish me luck guys, hope I (I mean we) can escape and don't die, dw, I played the ENTIRE Zero Escape Trilogy, seasoned veteran pro status, ggez.

Eclipsed Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 We died bois ;-; and no one noticed my legit Zero Escape: VLR watch, QQ. They gave loaned us cheap ass bracelets with numbers painted on them for the duration of the event though (I was #2, Snake, ahaha) My gawd this shit was so hype and fun!!! We signed our souls away so can't reveal anything explicit, but the puzzles were actually quite challenging, you're left dumbstruck with no idea what to do more often than you would like; me and this one gal would always comment "this is nothing like the games!!@#" while we fumbled around like idiots >.> but once you finally connect dots and make progress, it felt EXTREMELY satisfying. It was very intuitive how they made teamwork an essential element to successfully escaping; really a "Trust on Trial" indeed. We ALMOST made it, we were on the very last part, but unfortunately our time was up and so we- They use music from the games of course, I kinda lost track of what exact tracks played since I was so focused on the escape (maybe like one or two VLR tracks on loop?) but when you get notified that there's 10 minutes left and then and Consternation plays, you just know you're fucked >.> ~~ Pics! Spoiler Only the girls actually played the series, the dudes were just Real Escape Game connoisseursMe and my onee-san.
