TOKYO MYSTERY CIRCUS has announced an extension of its ongoing SCRAP x SNOOPY Puzzle Game Project.

The SCRAP x SNOOPY Puzzle Game Project invites visitors to join Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang for a whole bunch of puzzle-solving fun. There’s also exclusive merchandise for Snoopy fans to get their hands on. The project was originally scheduled to end on December 31, 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many people were unable to attend which resulted in demand for an extension.

There are three puzzle experiences for people to enjoy including “Snoopy and the Clue Solving Circus,” “Snoopy and the Secret Recipe,” and “Snoopy and the Mysterious Painting.” Each has players getting their own puzzle-solving kit which they must use in conjunction with the phone app LINE. The puzzles have them running around TOKYO MYSTERY CIRCUS, Japan’s first and biggest puzzle theme park.

Visitors can tuck into a range of Snoopy themed food as well as get their hands on over 30 pieces of original merchandise from tote bags to handkerchiefs, origami, and more.

An escape game is a real-life interactive experience that has players solving puzzles to escape a room. The story of the Perfume game puts players on the same team as Perfume. As players wait in anticipation, an LED display made to look like a window opens to reveal the Perfume members, who greet players and encourage them on their escape. And so begins the game.

There are various items and pieces of information in the room for players to solve the puzzle, including dance poses by Perfume which give hints for the next step. It’s an interactive experience that makes it feel like Perfume are really there with you.

Perfume fans can get their hands on a range of exclusive merchandise too, like a sticker set, folder, and message cards. These items will be sold at the TMC GOODS SHOP at Tokyo Mystery Circus as well as the online stores SCRAP GOODS SHOP and Perfume’s own A!SMART.

“Escape From the Forgotten Laboratory” is a real-life escape game created by SCRAP that’s held at the world’s first and Japan’s biggest puzzle-themed theme park TOKYO MYSTERY CIRCUS. The site has teamed up with SCRAP to bring a new remote version of the game that makes use of the video call service Zoom so people can enjoy the game from the comfort of their homes.

Escape From the Forgotten Laboratory was first held for a limited time back in 2014 and was voted as SCRAP’s best event. It reappeared in 2017 and was finally introduced to TOKYO MYSTERY CIRCUS in February 2019. A team of up to six people take part in the game, which has been so popular that you have to buy tickets two months in advance to play. It is said to be the hardest escape game at the site to get tickets for.

Players have 60 minutes to escape the laboratory where they must solve mysteries left behind by a mad scientist, and must uncover the mystery surrounding an android that has been left behind. In the remote version, the story has been left exactly the sameーthe only difference is that even more challenges have been added to up the fun.

Only group tickets are available for the game, so team up with your friends and escape from the Forgotten Laboratory!
