<Story
A long time ago. A long time ago, the Dragon King terrorized Alefgard. The land was once filled with demons led by the Dragon King. The crisis was saved by a young man with the blood of Lot, the hero. The Dragon King was sealed by him. But now, the Dragon King is about to make another comeback. Deep in the labyrinth. In the depths of the labyrinth, in an abyss that only a few have yet to realize, the Dragon King waits, moment by moment, for the time of his resurrection. Now, will you and your friends dive into the "Dragon King's Labyrinth" and stop the Dragon King's resurrection?

＜Game System
1. gathering friends
Players must first gather their friends at the entrance to form a party of four, and once the party is gathered, the adventure to defeat the Dragon King can finally begin. The player must join forces with his or her friends to defeat the mighty Dragon King.
2. choosing a profession
A party consists of four members. You can choose a warrior, a wizard, a monk, or a playboy. However, no two people of the same profession can be in the same party. All members of a party must have different professions. Each profession will receive a different "Book of Adventure".
3. the book of adventure
Each profession has a different "Book of Adventure," and each profession has a different "Book of Adventure" with which to begin adventures. The Book of Adventure contains a variety of information. The contents differ depending on the occupation. The Book of Adventure also contains many secrets. The story progresses by inscribing "signs" hidden here and there in the Book of Adventure.
4. defeating the Dragon King
Time is of the essence in the Dragon King's Castle, which is located deep in the field. In order to defeat the Dragon King, you must solve the "riddle" within the time limit. If you can solve the riddle within the time limit, you will defeat the Dragon King and successfully escape.
5. revival spell
The party that has been wiped out in the Dragon King's castle can be resurrected in the church. However, they will lose gold (1,000 yen per person). You will not die outside of the Dragon King's Castle. If the party is revived after the defeat at the Dragon King Castle, they will surely be able to beat the Dragon King next time.

Comment from Yuji Horii, game designer of the "Dragon Quest" series
Hello, my name is Horii. I have tried the Real Escape Game several times, but I have never been able to complete it, and each time I feel frustrated (laughs). (Laughs) Such a difficult escape game and Dragon Quest, where almost anyone can reach the ending if they put in the effort. What will happen if these two collaborate? I myself can hardly contain my excitement. The talented Mr. Kato is sure to create a real-life escape game that perfectly recreates the world of Dragon Quest. I am very much looking forward to it!

Comment from Takao Kato, President of SCRAP Inc.
I have always wanted to be part of the story, and this was the first time I felt like I was in the story. Dragon Quest was the first time I felt like I was inside a story. It was the first time I felt like I was "in the story!" Dragon Quest brought an extraordinary adventure to my boring everyday life. That excitement has remained with me ever since, and it was that excitement that led me to create "Real Escape Game. In a sense, Dragon Quest is the creator of Real Escape Game. This time, I was given the opportunity to create a "game where you can play Dracula in the real world," which is something I had always wanted to accomplish. I have never been so honored or so excited. The whole company is working hard to make this game. Please come and play with a deadly spirit.
