The Room - 9
Just like the other room at this location, this set was impressive to behold. Some parts will even leave you scratching your head as to how they pulled it off! Certainly things that you'd rarely find in the states here.
The Story - 8
There's a great story arc to this room - you'll really feel like you're a character in an old Bond movie as you progress.
The Puzzles - 7.5
The puzzles themselves are unique but were more time-consuming than clever. There was also a hiccup where there was no English translation for a certain puzzle and so the gamemaster had to come and do her best to Google translate. Overall, there was a somewhat frustrating feeling with getting the tech to work on some of the puzzles which led to the main deductions here.
The Verdict - 8.2
If you're in Osaka, the rooms at Studio Escape are the ones to do! We tried to scour for English rooms in Japan and were pleasantly surprised with the quality we found here. Another room here, The Dame and the Diamond, is slightly better than this one if you only have time for one - but we definitely recommend both!
