Tokyo Metro Challenge ( π«π· / π¬π§ )
19.12.16Aimez-vous les jeux de piste, les jeux d'énigmes ? Tokyo Metro et Scrap ont lancé pour la troisième année consécutive leur Tokyo Metro, The Underground Mysteries challenge. Ayant fait l'édition 2015 et 2016 je vais vous parler un peu plus de cette aventure à la découverte de Tokyo.
En 2015, j'avais passΓ© l'aprΓ¨s midi avec Anne-Laure, fin dΓ©cembre. Il faisait plutΓ΄t froid mais on avait eu un beau soleil. Je vous dirais de bien regarder la mΓ©tΓ©o si vous voulez le faire car si jamais il pleut cela peut gΓͺner votre parcours en extΓ©rieur (autant vous dire cette annΓ©e j'ai hais la pluie, mais c'Γ©tait la seule date pour tous le monde). En 2016 je l'ai fait dΓ©but dΓ©cembre, avec encore quelques couleurs d'automne et une Γ©quipe gΓ©niale et internationale !
Do you like enigma games ? Treasure
hunt games ? Tokyo Metro and Scrap launched their 3rd year the Tokyo
Metro, The Underground Mysteries challenge. I did the 2015 and 2016
edition and I will tell you more about this Tokyo adventure.
In 2015, I spend the afternoon with
Anne-Laure. It was at the end of December and the weather was rather cold even
if sunny. I will advise you to check the weather beforehand because a rainy day
might ruin your hunt outside ( to tell you the truth, it was raining this year
but it was the only date available for all my friend and I). In 2016 I did it
at the beginning of December, and we could still enjoy fall colors which made
it all the more enjoyable with my pretty international team !

To participate, nothing complicated, you just need to go to Ueno Station in the underground metro (in the metro part ^^). The pack will cost you 2610yen and there is all you need inside - you must absolutely keep everything ! - including a 24hours pass for all the line on Tokyo Metro (24hours long not only until midnight !). The game is Foreigners Friendly - as they said, so you can buy the kit in English and/or Japanese.

I had some minutes to wait at the station so I took some shot in Ueno park. Then we went toward Ameyokoγ’γ‘ζ¨ͺ - still very crowded - in order to eat something.
Le principe reste assez simple, vous recevez un petit livret comportant des Γ©nigmes et en rΓ©pondant Γ celles-ci (souvent en allant dans des lieux prΓ©cis et en regardant votre entourage) on trouve le nom de la prochaine station oΓΉ l'on doit aller. etc etc. A la fin vous envoyer votre rΓ©ponse en ligne et vΓ©rifier si vous avez rΓ©pondu correctement !
The 2016 edition was a bit more complicated than the 2015 one. I really like enigma games and I am not bad at logical games, but hopefully this time I had my friends, often as lost as I was, to help finding details with me ! All in all we did a good job while having a lot of fun. In case you don't find the answer you can find some hints on the official website of the Tokyo metro the underground mysteries.
The aim is quite simple, you get a little booklet with riddles and by answering them (often going to specific places and looking at the surrounding) you find the name of the next station where you must go. etc., etc. At the end you send your answer online and checked if it's correct!
on a cherchΓ© pendant pas mal de temps Γ Hibiya park |
After one year and a half in Tokyo, I finally met "maman" (mom in French). That is the name given to that gigantic spider. It seems she is part of an international series of 6 permanent sculptures and a few non permanent.

Il a commencé à pleuvoir quand la nuit est tombé rendant nos recherches dans la ville encore plus difficiles. Mes chaussures ont d'ailleurs pris l'eau, alors que je devais rejoindre une amie québécoise de passage à Tokyo juste après. Et je me demande encore pourquoi j'ai chopé froid ...
I started raining while as the sky got darker making our searches in the city a bit more difficult. My shoes took on water and I had to meet a quebecois friend right after the challenge ... And I am still wondering why I caught a cold ...
