Participants will walk through a virtual maze spanning 8 floors and 1km in length. Along the way, they will encounter numerous supernatural beings, and they can take photos and selfies within the space.

The original inspiration for this story comes from Fuji-Q Highland’s “Senritsu Meikyu” (The Labyrinth of Terror), a horror attraction that stretches 900 meters in length. Since its opening in 2003, it has attracted 5.3 million visitors. Sadako is a vengeful spirit character from Koji Suzuki’s novel “Ring,” and gained widespread recognition in Japan after the film adaptation.
The Tokyo Tower performance will be suspended from September 7th to 18th. ABAL utilizes its patented XR platform “Scape” to extend limited real-world space into virtual space.
