BODY: Fresh off the box office success of Detective Conan: Highway's Fallen Angel, event company SCRAP is bringing the movie's world to life with its newest Real Escape Game — and this time, the story continues where the film left off.
"Escape from the Highway Chase" (Shippū no Tsuisō (Highway) kara no Dasshutsu) launches July 2 at SCRAP venues across Japan, with international dates confirmed for Taiwan and additional locations worldwide. The event is billed as an epilogue to the latest theatrical film, giving fans a chance to step into the Conan universe and solve an original case set after the movie's events.
SCRAP has been collaborating with the Detective Conan franchise on escape rooms for years, and the series has become one of the company's most reliable crowd-pullers. Each installment typically features puzzles woven into an original storyline that complements the annual film release, blending deduction-style challenges with the kind of teamwork that has made Real Escape Games a cultural phenomenon in Japan.
Details on ticketing, specific venue locations, and the international rollout schedule are expected in the coming weeks. Past Conan escape games have regularly sold out, particularly in major cities like Tokyo and Osaka, so early booking will likely be essential.
The insider take
The Conan escape room franchise is basically a perpetual motion machine at this point. Every spring, a new Conan movie drops, and within weeks SCRAP has a tie-in event ready to go. The timing is deliberate — these events catch the wave of post-movie hype and keep the franchise in the conversation well into summer. The Taiwan expansion is also worth watching. SCRAP has been steadily building its international footprint, and Conan's massive popularity across East Asia makes these collaborations a natural fit for overseas venues. For anyone visiting Japan this summer, this is exactly the kind of unique, language-barrier-friendly experience that's hard to find back home — though you'll want to check whether English support is offered at your chosen venue.
