A new teaser posted by Japanese Twitter account “リアル脱出ゲーム” (known as “Real Escape Game” in the West) suggests that a Steins;Gate-related escape room project may currently be planned.

As was the case with the Revue Starlight collaboration teasers, this Tweet’s image depicts a divergence number in the Alpha Attractor Field. As pointed out by a number of users on Twitter, “S” is the 19th letter of the alphabet, and “O” is the 15th. Thus, the “191519” portion of the divergence number can be translated as “SOS,” which fits the escape room theme.
For the uninitiated, escape rooms are typically real-world puzzle games wherein a number of players are locked inside a room. While trapped, these players work together to locate and solve puzzles that will allow them to, as the name suggests, escape the room.
Real Escape Game, a series of such escape rooms, is produced by SCRAP Corporation in Japan. Many of their escape rooms are developed in the traditional format, but they have also developed escape rooms designed to be played in an online, virtual format.
Aside from this teaser, nothing is known about SCRAP Corporation’s plans in regards to Steins;Gate. If a Steins;Gate-related escape room is planned, whether or not it will be hosted virtually, and whether or not it will receive a Western appearance via their English branch remains to be seen.
As always, we will keep you updated as new information arises.
