"To commemorate the 5 years of collaboration of the TV anime "Detective Conan" being aired in Yomiuri TV and Japan TV (Saturdays, 6PM) and the real escape game, starting with the opening in Tokyo on June 30th, a game that has just begun is being hold 31 cities across the nation, titled "Escape from Scotland Yard). A special episode linking with the game, 'The bomber come out of the picture book (2-part episode)', has been established to air this winter."

"Also, starting from today (July 8) episode broadcast, a special mystery-solving project designed by the makers of "Escape from Scotland Yard" and titled "Anime Detective Conan Detective Exam" will also begin."

In the TV anime's official site there will be, over the course of 4 weeks, 4 "mysteries" to test people and which will be linked to the broadcastings, the 4 abilities detectives need "inspiration strength", "a flexible point of view", "observations" and "cypher decoding strength" will be tested. If you solve a mystery and submit it, a planned lottery in which the people who solved the mysteries will receive a gift will take place. There will be a final exam for those who solved all 4 mysteries too. Try challenging the "detective exam" along with Conan and Heiji. Period: July 8 to August 26."

"The episode that will be aired on July 8 is "The ill-speaking hill myna". Kohuko Mamoru visits the home of his aunt, Kohuko Naoko, and finds that she's been murdered. Then, a hill myna named "Nine" and famed for ill-speaking people flees. Naoko lived with her maid, Emi. At the time of the crime, Emi had gone shopping and wasn't at home. It's discovered that Naoko, who gathered old books, was buying imitations from an old bookstore owner, Sayama. Inspector Megure believes one of three is the criminal but they all have alibis. Conan gets close to the case's truth going by what "Nine" says..."

So, it seems this special will be a regular two-parter inside the usual anime broadcast, like the Mystery Tour episodes or the Magic File replacement, that connects with the current movie, right? Interesting. The Real Escape games have been going for some years iirc, nice to see they are expanding them like this in terms of promotion.

I'll definitely watch this. It seems to have the which of the three whodunnit case so I'm interested in how they present it.

Possibly there might be the first trailer for M22 at the end of the special similarly to Episode ONE, yes.

More details to come in the next months, obviously enough.
