The special version of Real Escape Game at J-POP Summit Festival will be “Real Escape Game x Evangelion: Escape from an Angel”. It takes a variety of cues and imagery from the smash hit sci-fi anime series Evangelion and in this game the setting is that you are an agent at NERV, an organization controlling the artificial humanoid weapon “Evangelion”. NERV’s mission is to protect Earth from the “Angels”, giant life forms that once lead to the destruction of half of the human species. You are trapped in a secret NERV outpost that has been surrounded by invisible “Angels”. By working together with your teammates and using your intuition and detective skills to solve multiple puzzles, can you find the clues to solve the mystery and escape from the “Angels”?

(You don’t need any special knowledge about Evangelion to solve the puzzles so anyone can enjoy the game!)

The game will begin inside NEW PEOPLE’s cinema and then move outdoors with participants seeking out clues, puzzles and hints that will be hidden throughout Japantown. It takes a variety of cues and imagery from the smash hit sci-fi anime series. This will be a original senario especially for the J-POP SUMMIT FESTIVAL with a variety of special additions to make this event memorable for game aficionados and anime fans. More than 10,000 people played “Real Escape Game x Evangelion : Escape from an Angel,” when it debuted in Japan last year.

Evangelion:1.11 You Are (Not) Alone.
There was no foreseeable warning before it happened – a catastrophe of unparalleled scale and magnitude overwhelmed the entire globe. This event, recorded in history as “The Second Impact,” caused half the population of the Earth to perish and devastated the world. All that remains of Japan is Tokyo-3, a city that is now being attacked by giant creatures that seek to destroy mankind. These creatures are called Angels. Fourteen year old Shinji Ikari is called to Tokyo-3 by his father who he hasn’t seen in more than eight years. He is asked to come to the NERV headquarters to meet his father. His father reveals to him a gigantic humanoid weapons system that the special governmental agency has secretly developed to fight the Angels and then orders Shinji to pilot the giant artificial human Evangelion Unit One. With the fate of the world resting on his shoulders, how will the 14 year old boy Shinji fight? What is the truth behind “The Human Instrumentality Project,” an operation somehow related to the “Second Impact”? And who is the true enemy? The Angels, NERV, the mysterious SEELE, or the demons held within the hearts of the people involved? Gendō Ikari, a man who holds many answers to these questions, watches silently and attentively as his son fights a desperate battle…
