History

Established in 2015.

SCRAP’s Real Escape Game was founded in 2007 when founder Takao Kato saw his friends staying up all night playing «room escape» video games. He realized that it would be something that he could make as a live event, and the Real Escape Game was born. Hundreds of thousands of players have gone through SCRAP’s immersive, narrative puzzle hunt events in Japan.

In 2011, the first Real Escape Room opened, and soon afterward, it was brought to the United States. As one of the first live escape rooms in North America, SCRAP has been a pioneer of the genre as it has emerged in cities all around the world.

Meet the Manager

Manager

Hi! I’m Albert. I’m a game designer in living in Brooklyn. Originally hailing from California, I came to New York to spread my love for physical and non-​digital games, working with events like Come Out & Play, and opening a branch of the Real Escape Game.

I think there’s something really powerful in being able to play in the real world, temporarily being transported into a mindset where the rules are totally different.

I spend a lot of my time creating games, designing experiences, hiding delightful things in public, and reading comic books.

Come say hello!
