Happy New Year! If you have an hour or two of free time and want to challenge yourself with some crazy puzzles… Escape from Britz is open again from January 3rd until the end of the month. You’ll need a team, ideally 3-6 players (post in the comments if you want to get a team together). No physical skills or prior escape room experience required. Although there are some English language word puzzles, the game can be played by speakers of any language and is family-friendly. It costs 1000 yen per adult/500 yen for children and there’s still a prize on offer for the first team to complete the game in under an hour. The record stands at 1 hour 3 minutes. 20% discount if you send the answer to the puzzle below when you make a reservation (please don’t post the answer in the comments!) The game is based inside my classroom at Britz English School in Onoue, Higashi-ku. Parking available, and it’s just a few minutes walk from the Kuwamizu streetcar stop. Visit the Escape from Britz Facebook page to make a reservation. Also check the page if you’re interested in playing boardgames or quizzes as there will be some events coming up later this month.
