A real-life infiltration game is both similar and opposite to that of an escape room. Similar in the sense that both consist of a team of real-life players working together to reach a common goal, and opposite in the sense that one sees the team trying to escape from a facility, while the other sees them infiltrating one. Japan likes to create both games based onpopular anime and video gaming franchises, and it’s decided to do an infiltration style one forFinal Fantasy 7 Remake.
Infiltration games creator Scrap recently announced that it was doing a collaboration event withFinal Fantasy 7 Remake. On December 9, on the fourth floor of Tokyo Mystery Circus in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, Scrap will host an infiltration game based onFinal Fantasy 7 Remaketitled “Destroy The Mako Reactor 1.” The game will turn players into members of the eco-terrorist group Avalanche and task them with helpingCloud, Tifa, and Barretbring down Mako Reactor 1.

Basically, participants get to play out thefirst chapter ofFinal Fantasy 7 Remakein real life. The event will allow up to three players to tackle the game at any one time. To win, players must complete the game within 30 minutes of the mission’s start, and they’ll lose time if Shinra soldiers shoot them. The full event itself can take up to anywhere between 40 to 100 minutes. It all just depends on the player. The commercial below gives a general idea of what to expect from the game.
Sadly, this event is a Japan-only thing, so any interested international parties already have to be there. That, or they’ll have to plan to spend money to get there on top of the other existing costs, such as entry tickets. A ticket for one costs 3000 yen, which is roughly 30 USD. Those registered to Scraps' monthly subscription can buy reservation tickets starting today. Everyone else will have to wait until November 16. For those who buy tickets now, Scrap is hosting a promotion that will give them aFinal Fantasy 7 RemakePhoenix Downquill pen as a bonus.
Luckily, while this event may be Japan-exclusive,Final Fantasy 7 Remakeitself is not. Square Enix has already announced that it has the game’s sequel in development. Exactly when this sequel releases remains a mystery, but it should come out faster than Part 1 did. In the meantime, those who haven’t completed Part 1 or just want to get back into the world ofFF7can do so using the newPlayStation 5’s backward compatibilityfeatures.
