Two of USA’s popular anime and cosplay conventions FanimeCon and Anime Expo announced on Tuesday that they will be hosting the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders real escape game titled JoJo’s Bizarre Escape: The Hotel. The game originally ran for 24 locations in Japan in November last year.
You will be able to experience the game from May 25 to 28 at FanimeCon and on July 4 to 8 at Anime Expo. This game is produced by SCRAP in cooperation with Viz Media.
Just to give you an idea about this real escape game, it is set inside a building created by an enemy Stand and it’s up to the participants to become Stand users and user their powers to solve puzzles and escape this mysterious building. You can cooperate in groups of six and you only have 60 minutes to escape the building.
The real escape game features the original character named Dija Maker (voiced by Hiroki Yasumoto) who stands for House of Holy. His character design is approved by the original JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure creator Hirohiko Araki.
Game Synopsis (as described by SCRAP)
In order to defeat their arch nemesis DIO, Jotaro and the team travel to Egypt.
During their stay at a hotel, they suddenly hear a mysterious voice.
“Hello… Have you decided on how you’re going to spend your last hour alive?”
The voice continues as Jotaro’s group prepares for battle.
“If you don’t escape this hotel within 1 hour… you will all vanish into thin air!”
“Are you one of DIO’s minions?! Show yourself!”
The walls suddenly start moving, and the hotel transforms into a complex maze. A swift punch strikes the wall, but not even a scratch was left.
“Good grief…” “Looks like we’re trapped.”
“You have exactly one hour until your check out… from life, that is! Hahahaha!”
The voice fades out.
“A Stand that takes no damage…. Then there’s only one thing we can do.”
“Find the culprit within 1 hour and beat him… right?”
5 people and 1 dog are trapped with a 1 hour time limit.
Will they be able to solve the mystery behind the enemy’s stand and escape from this labyrinth?
