- I wrote a post about it on Facebook with all the info so I'll just paste that here!
If you're in Tokyo and like playing puzzles, there's a game called "Tokyo Metro - The Underground Mysteries" you can play by riding around the metro train and solving puzzles. We were brought to Tokyo this weekend to try it out and we LOVED IT. So basically you get a folder with several clue items and a game book. The game book gives you puzzles to solve, which will tell you which station you need to go to next, and then at that station you'll find more clues to keep going. I personally think it's ideal to do this with two people since some of the puzzles are challenging, but you can play by yourself or with more people, too. If you want to do it in a big group, I'd recommend splitting off into groups of two so that everyone can be more involved playing the game, although that's a personal preference because I'm a puzzle hog and wanted to solve as much of it myself as I could. lol
Apparently the Japanese version is already really popular (we saw soooo many Japanese couples playing!!) but not many people know there's an English version yet!
If you want to try it out, you have to buy the English kit at the Tokyo Metro pass office in Ueno station. It costs 2160 yen and comes with a 24 hour metro train pass (in case you can't finish the game in one day). Jun and I started around noon and after taking breaks for lunch and dinner we finished at 7pm! I'd recommend starting earlier in the day so you can finish while it's still light outside (and warmer). It's definitely an all day thing! But you can split it into two days (or as many days as you want, really, but the train pass only lasts 24 hours).
If you want the Japanese version (basically the same game, just in Japanese) you can get details on where to get it here: http://realdgame.jp/chikanazo/3/
The game goes until January 31st and we definitely recommend it if you like puzzles!! It was a pretty unique experience and made for a super fantastic date day for us. 10/10 super creative and fun thing to do. I think they've been doing this for a couple years now so hopefully they'll come out with a new one next year!

Oh, and I forgot to mention but if you get stuck on any of the puzzles, you can get hints on their website. There was one puzzle where I'm ashamed to say I had to get a hint. :( Fail. But the rest we were able to solve between the two of us!
