Out with the Demon, in with the Fortune: it's Setsubun!
Every year, Japan celebrates Setsubun on February 3rd, a day before Spring, according to the old Japanese calendar. On that day, a special ritual is performed to cleanse away all the evil of the previous year, and drive away the evil spirits for the year to come: it's Mamemaki.
Litteraly "bean scattering", Mamemaki sees the male head of the household wearing a demon mask and being chased out of the house, while the rest of the family throws roasted beans at him and slam the door behind him, chanting "Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!" (see title).
To ensure luck, the roasted beans are then eaten: one for each year of one's life.
For this Setsubun, Escape Hunt Tokyo prepared something special for you: from Wednesday February 1st until Friday February 3rd, the groups who manage to escape our rooms will get a surprise as a reward!
Come and celebrate Setsubun with us, and... beware of the Demon!

Escape Hunt Tokyo, the perfect birthday present!
You're looking for an original present for your lover, a family member, or one of your friends? How about Escape Hunt Tokyo?
We recently received a special e-mail from a customer: they had booked a room as one of their friends' birthday without their knowing, and asked us if we could do something special for the occasion. We were really glad they asked, for we LOVE that kind of things! So we quickly bought a few party crackers to crack as soon as they would escape, and hid a little something in the escaping box...
...a lovely personalised message!
I think we can fairly say that they enjoyed the surprise!
If you, too, would like to arrange for a special birthday present, give us a call or send us an e-mail, and we'll do our best to make this special day unforgettable!
Why are live escape games the best activities for team building?
Looking for a innovative, fun and live to bond with your colleagues? Allow us to introduce the escape game, in seven points that make it a perfect team building activity!
1. It gives your employees an opportunity to combine their skills
Let's be realistic here. How many people do you know possess as many different skills as the genius detective Sherlock Holmes? Most of us only have (one or) a few very specific skills.
In this kind of game, rather than relying on one person to do the job, the players have to combine their different skills in order to solve puzzles and escape the room.
2. It is for EVERYONE
As opposed to bowling or karaoke, an escape game doesn't require great dexterity or a good voice: a little bit of logic and an open mind are enough to do the trick. Thus, children, women and men of all age can enjoy it!
3. It Ends the competition
Why is escape game a good activity for team building? Because the players have to join forces to succeed. One group, with a common goal. There is no competition within the team: only from good collaboration will come the potential to succeed.
If one person doesn't feel capable of solving the puzzle, the group can reorganize their ideas and together, find the solution.
4. You must use your best judgement: asking makes one appear foolish, but not asking makes one foolish indeed
In escape games, the hardest part is the time limit. If you spend too much time on the first puzzle, you will not be able to escape. But if you hurry too much and don't keep your cool, you won't escape either. You could ask for hints from your game master, but sometimes you are too much into the game and do not want to ask for help.
In such cases, one person will try to calm everyone down, and paying attention to the time limit, make the decision to ask for a hint. Such person will naturally be recognised by their teammates as a good team leader.
5. Enter a different fictive world each time, and escape from your daily life.
Entering an escape room means entering a new world, sometimes even a different time. By solving the mysteries of this new world, you will get a feeling of achievement that will relief the stress of daily life.
6. It's the perfect place to show your many talents!
The escape game will reveal many talents. Outside of the workplace, you will see your colleagues under a different light. You might even discover similarities between yourself and your colleagues, that you didn't know of.
7. Active communication!
You escaped and think it's over? Wrong! Of course, solving the puzzles was interesting, but debriefing is just as much fun.
"How did you find this clue? This one puzzle was hard! Were you faster than us? What kind of approach did you use to solve the puzzle? What did you enjoy most?"
Talking to each other about the escape game, everyone learns more. The escape game is thus two fun activities in one game!
