Japan’s First Rurouni Kenshin Escape Game Slices its Way Into Museum Meiji-Mura in Aichi
15.August.2019 | ANIME&GAME / SPOT
A new escape game themed on Rurouni Kenshin has been created by SCRAP and is to slash its way into Museum Meiji-Mura on September 11. The museum has stood for over 60 years, focusing on the Meiji period of Japan.
Rorouni Kenshi is a hit manga series loved the world over with over 70 million copies sold. The latest arc of the manga, Rurouni Kenshin: The Hokkaido Arc, is serialised in Jump Comics SQ and is being published in English by Viz Media.
In the first ever escape game based on the series, you will become a practioner of the Kamiya Kasshin-ryū and join Kenshin in facing enemies. To accomplish your objective, you will need to speak to various people in the game, as well as learn sword techniques from a certain character in the series. It taking place in the Museum Meiji-Mura means you will be fully immersed in the story―like you have slipped back in time―as the series itself is set during the Meiji period.
Help Kenshin defend Tokyo by participating in this new exciting escape game.
