Ikebukuro store opens June 13th (Sat) and Shinjuku store opens June 24th (Wed) / Solve the puzzles and activate the "mechanisms". An immersive escape game that will shake up both your brain and your body.
Rise Entertainment Co., Ltd., which operates the "NoEscape Real Experience Escape Game" stores, will be opening its first permanent "room-type" escape game based on the popular series "Ihen Kaiyu," which has a passionate fan base for its depiction of the space between reality and another dimension, as part of its renewal year initiatives to celebrate its 11th anniversary in October of this year.
On Saturday, June 13, 2026, "201 Kinsoku Soko" (Ikebukuro store) opened, and many mystery-solving fans visited over the weekend. Following that, on Wednesday, June 24, "202 Heisoku Tsuro" (Shinjuku store) will appear (scheduled). This work recreates the eerie sense of unease that is characteristic of the series in a confined space. Numerous gimmicks (mechanisms and traps) are placed, and the story and space move according to the player's actions, providing an overwhelmingly immersive "reality-interference" experience.

■ Supplement: What is the reality-interfering "Anomaly Wandering" series that's trending on social media?
This series, with its "reality-interference" style of presentation that depicts the space between reality and another dimension, is a content that has a passionate fan base.
At the "Little World Open-Air Ethnological Museum" in Aichi Prefecture, the ongoing roaming event is generating buzz for its overwhelmingly immersive experience that takes advantage of the vast location, creating a space where "reality and fiction intersect." This summer, the series, which has previously been offered in "kit-type," "walking-type (touring)," and "roaming event" formats, will finally be permanently established as the first "room-type (completely private, enclosed space)" experience. By condensing the production know-how cultivated so far, and utilizing the gimmicks (mechanisms and mechanisms) that are characteristic of "NoEscape," it will deliver a thrilling and suspenseful experience that will shake the player's brain and body.
