The haunted rooms of Universal Studios Japan ユニバーサル・スタジオ・ジャパンのホラールーム
Will you be able to sleep there?
To celebrate Halloween, Universal Studios Japan is thinking big! Indeed since 2015, the park has offered ''haunted'' rooms to celebrate the horror festival. And this year 2018, the theme revolves around switches! In the Universal Port hotel, several rooms have been fitted out for the occasion. Called ''The switch to horror'', the rooms all have a little particularity: when you press the ''forbidden'' switch they reveal their terrible secret!
A hotel room that looks like an Escape Game
10 years ago, a young girl who came to enjoy the park mysteriously disappeared from her hotel room. No body, no personal effects, nothing was found the next day in the room when the police were alerted to the disappearance of the young girl. The investigation was then closed and the room was made available to customers a few days after the incident.
This room is the one you will occupy! A large bed in the center, a chest of drawers, a television, a fully equipped bathroom, the place is nothing unusual… in appearance! Because if you activate the switch that you were forbidden to touch before taking possession of the premises, you will then discover a completely different environment : bloody hand on the front door, bloodstained walls, cobwebs on the ceiling and human remains in the mini-bar, all the horrific decorations of the room are revealed as if by magic!
We then discover that the suite was the scene of a crime and we learn a little more about the identity of the victim who left behind some personal items such as shoes or photos before being murdered.
The room thus takes on the appearance of an escape game and discovering what really happened in this room becomes a real treasure hunt! A game that you will have to solve in one night if you want to appease the young girl's vengeful spirit...
