The Letter Inside DIO's Mansion
The Letter Inside DIO's Mansion (DIOの館に残された手紙, DIO no Yakata ni Nokosareta Tegami) was an escape room-styled attraction based on the anime adaptation of Stardust Crusaders. The attraction is the third collaboration between Tokyo-based company SCRAP and the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure TV Anime Production Committee, following Escape From JoJo's Bizarre Amusement Park and Escape From JoJo's Bizarre Mansion.
The event was sponsored by TOKYO MYSTERY CIRCUS as part of their "MYSTERY MAIL BOX" game. It involves players picking up a letter left within DIO's mansion, where they must work with Jotaro and his friends to solve the mystery written in the letter to escape from the mansion.
The escape room was held in Tokyo from February 15, 2018 to May 31, 2018.[1]
Summary
"You will become food for Lord DIO! Take pride in becoming a part of him!" Saying so, the small man leaves with a sinister laugh. Participants find themselves locked in a dimly lit room, devoid of windows, unable to discern whether it's day or night, but they understand that they are facing death and that they can't easily leave. They notice a transceiver on the ground and, with trembling hands, switch it on and shout, "Help me!"
"Is someone there?" A man's voice is heard from the other side of the transceiver. The man's name is Jotaro Kujo. He says he has infiltrated this mansion to defeat a person named DIO. With Jotaro's help, the player aims to escape from the mansion. However, terrifying Stand users are watching within the mansion. Players must communicate with Jotaro and others through the transceiver to escape from DIO's mansion.
The escape room is an indoor event on the first floor of Tokyo Mystery Circus's Mystery Plaza. There is no limit to team sizes, nor is there a time limit, but the estimated duration of the game is 30-60 minutes. Players will find letters inside mailboxes inside the venue and will have to solve the riddles and puzzles written in them to escape.[2] The story takes place after Jotaro's battle against Telence T. D'Arby.
The "transceiver" works by the players communicating in a LINE group on their smartphones, where they can send messages to Jotaro, Joseph, and Kakyoin. Players could mention character names, Stands, and places, which the characters would respond to.
