BODY: On October 31, GIFT TEN INDUSTRY announced Minna de Sagase! Madorika Fudosan no Deguchi (roughly "Everyone Search! The Exit of Madorika Real Estate"), a cooperative puzzle party game for Nintendo Switch 2. It is planned for the end of 2026, at a price of 1,000 to 2,000 yen, according to AUTOMATON.
It is the latest game in the Madorika Real Estate series, whose puzzles involve printing out paper showing a property's floor plan and combining the pieces to solve the mystery. The previous games were made for solo play. This one is a local cooperative party game for two to five players, with no online support.
In the story, a classmate from magic school has taken a job at a black company called Madorika Real Estate, and the company's president has used magic to turn it into a labyrinth and trap them. Players are former classmates gathered at a pub who look into a magic mirror and work together to build an accurate floor plan and rescue their friend.
The Switch 2 is used in handheld mode as the magic mirror. Only one player can look, for 30 seconds, and describes the corridors and landmarks aloud while the others assemble the floor plan from paper tiles, in a style the article compares to a game of telephone. The tiles show controller buttons, and a finished floor plan reveals a magic command for escaping. One Joy-Con 2 sits in the middle of the table, and a player who is not looking at the mirror can twist it, once per look, to make a hint appear inside the mirror.
The PDF for the paper pieces is downloaded from an official print page, printed, and cut out with scissors. The game points to the PDF with a QR code, convenience store net printing can be used, and buying the set from the official website will also be an option. According to the developer, one set has beginner, intermediate and advanced levels and takes about an hour and a half to play through. AUTOMATON notes that this is effectively the third game in the series, although it is not numbered, and that the barrier to play is higher this time because players need the console, printed pages and a group of people.
