Located on the third floor of the 1662 theme shopping mall at the entrance of the city, Mr. X opened in November 2015, and it is currently the largest and most luxuriously decorated escape room experience hall in Changsha. Founded in 2012, this escape room chain brand from Shanghai now has more than 20 chain stores across the country, receiving more than 4 million players every year. Mr. X has been listed in the list of escape rooms in many cities of Trusted Choice, including Shanghai, Chengdu, Wuhan, Suzhou, etc. "Visual kei, big production" is the trusted choice city list's evaluation of Mr. X's secret room.
In 2018, Mr. X attracted countless fans with his new themes "ZS Experience Hall" and "Yayoi", and was well received in the secret room circle. After the success of the first two themes in the Shanghai main store, they were quickly opened in other cities. At present, "ZS Experience Hall" and "Yayoi" have been launched in Mr. X's Changsha flagship store.
"ZS Experience Hall" is the "Suicide Experience Hall", the story takes place in a mysterious mansion, all the people who enter are missing, and the player who plays the agent is sent to the mansion to find out. The scene of this theme inherits the characteristics of Mr. X's big production, 1:1 mansion presentation, interior decoration, home furnishings, and props are very well-made, so that players can be in it without a sense of disobedience and drama. During the 90-minute game, the story is unfolded by voice and video, the puzzles are coherent and not stiff, and the "suicide" experience is appropriately included in the game. In order to increase the frequency of reception, the theme also shortens the time between games by dividing the space into front and back courts.
The theme of "Yayoi" makes players' impression of Mr. X subversive. Yayoi is a micro-horror theme set in a murder at a Japanese hotel, where the player takes on the role of an agent who comes to the hotel to help the police solve the case. The moment the elevator stops on the 4th floor, the game begins. The theme is highly immersive, immersing players in a Japanese horror atmosphere from beginning to end. The combination of sound effects and scenes is explosive enough, and the addition of real-life NPC elements also pushes the game to a climax. Yayoi's puzzle setting abandons the usual old routine of the secret room, which is enough to make the player's eyes shine, and the puzzles are not difficult and coherent. Changsha "Yayoi" basically restores the theme setting of the Shanghai head office, and the venue and space are also larger than the Shanghai head office.
Mr. X's single price of more than 150 yuan is not too acceptable for local players in Changsha. Not only that, but Mr. X's "impersonal" operation method of the secret room has also made many players very unhappy. The maximum number of Mr. X players ranges from 6 to 12 people, and players are required to participate in the session during peak hours, unless they purchase a package ticket for the maximum number of people, the venue cannot be chartered. Therefore, if the number of players does not reach the maximum number of players in the theme, strange players will be added at any time. However, the large number of participants in the game and the uncertainty of unfamiliar players will have a certain impact on the game experience. At present, except for the new theme, there is no promotion, and other themes have half price for women on Tuesdays.
In addition to the two new themes of "ZS Experience Hall" and "Yayoi", there are also eight themes such as "Fifty-one District", "Twelve Palaces", "Anderson Hospital" and "Silent Ridge", which have basically reached the national unified level in terms of scene creation and agency setting.
Themes: Suicide Experience, Yayoi, Area 51, Zodiac: The Lost Talisman, Anderson Hospital, Silent Ridge, Alcatraz Island, Alice's Adventure
Number of people: from 4 people
