We are room escape enthusiasts have done over 300 rooms. I have to say all three rooms were excellent with great sets and I would highly recommend them. There were good hint systems in place, so the Games-masters potential lack of English wouldn't be in issue. (Although they did all speak English pretty well).
I love a bit of humour in my Escape rooms and I found 'For Queen and Country' was just my sense of humour - honestly had me more laughing more than any other room I've done.
Just note that all three rooms are in different locations.
They were joy to do after the rooms we did in Tokyo from different companies which were all rather disappointing.

Having played 50+ escape rooms all over the world, including a few top ones, we can say that this is a good escape room. There are few rooms where you can follow the story well and the puzzles are original. This room has everything and the finish is superb.
If you are an escape room enthusiast, this room is definitely worth it!

My partner and I have done over 20 escape rooms around the world and this one is one of those well made rooms that escapists tend to enjoy best. I had a lot of fun with this room and really enjoyed it, definitely one of my favourites!
The room was of a high quality in design and puzzles - you can always tell when the owners have made the room themselves as the quality is always better than generic chain companies.
While it was slightly easy for those who’ve done a lot of rooms that by no means takes away from any of the puzzles which I found to be unique and on point with the theme (which I prefer). They also allow you to stay connected with the room without walking in to give clues etc which adds to the overall feel of the game. Also we were able to have a chat with the creators afterwards which is always enjoyable.
Definitely recommend if you are visiting Osaka and want to do something fun and unique in Japan. Great for couples, groups or families.

My girlfriend and I have done a fair few escape rooms, and this place ranked very highly among those we've done.
Facilities are good. The game is well designed and original in its puzzles.

I’ve done a fair few escape rooms in Sydney but this was my first one abroad.
The room is Japanese themed which was a nice touch for our holiday. We had a group of four which was a great number for the room.
It’s perfect for English speaking groups as it caters for English, Japanese and Cantonese.
The room was really creative, the puzzles were challenging and the host was lovely.
A definite must-do when you’re visiting Osaka!

Follow the clues left behind by “dark zen master” Bonta Nakamura, a monk who escaped his banishers at the Daikoku Monastery, discover his whereabouts and escape the room that was his would-be prison. Watch the time! You’ll only have one hour to make good your escape.
My intrepid group first time escapees effected our escape in just 48 minutes and found ourselves buzzing with excitement over the experience.
Escape Osaka informed us a second escape room is in the works. I eagerly await its arrival.
If you are in Osaka do not miss this Escape Room! Gather your family, get your friends, or assemble a group of your fellow travelers and have a go.

The best escape game ever had. The puzzles are sophisticated and the props are very special. Recommend it to all who wants to experience something special.

Surprised to find this in the area after staying in Osaka for a week. Easily booked this online on their website and place was not hard to find at all. Ed was very accommodating and briefly spoke with us before the game. The facility is very new opened a couple months back. Our kids have been to several escape rooms around the globe and called this as one of there favorites! A cool storyline, lots of mystery and a great sense of adventure was the take away of the whole game. We hope to see more of these guys around! So Yes this is highly recommended!

I had never been to an escape room before and was quite cynical about how much fun they would be. Turns out I shouldn't have been so cynical as I loved it. The design of the room is excellent (I won't ruin the surprise by describing it). It's really challenging but worth it for the satisfaction felt when working out each step of the puzzle. I needed a few tips along the way which the guys were happy to help with if necessary. I highly recommend visiting.

I did it in English! They can do the escape room in either English, Chinese or Japanese, and I think they are making a Korean one too.
