A few months ago, frustrated by the lack of escape rooms in Kyushu, I decided I would just have to create one myself. Not wanting to throw all my life savings into a business which may not take off, instead of finding a room for my venture I decided to somehow build it into my classroom at the English school I own. My students were quite puzzled by the appearance of locked chests and briefcases, strange charts and mysterious cubes… It’s not a traditional escape room as you’re not actually locked inside, but the game offers all the excitement of solving puzzles and finding hidden treasure against the clock. I will be closing it for good at the end of January, so if you’d like to give it a try, make sure you book your game by January 27th. It’s open over the long weekend (1/12-14) and over the following two weekends (Friday and Monday evenings, anytime on Saturday and Sunday). If you’re interested in playing, please check out the Escape from Britz Facebook page, or leave a message in the comments and I’ll contact you.
