This innovative apparel store, created in collaboration with the enigmatic clothing brand Tokiqil, offers a distinct shopping experience unlike any other. The concept? Enter the store and complete unique challenges before you can actually purchase products.

A New Kind of Shopping Adventure

In today’s fast-paced world of online shopping, where a simple click can get you anything, 'esc' invites visitors into a space that demands teamwork and intellectual engagement. The store presents a captivating set of rules designed to immerse customers into a playful shopping environment. Here’s how it works:

- Entry Rules: Up to three people can enter together, facing thrilling challenges that keep them on their toes. Upon stepping inside, each group member must navigate through an ambiance rich with mystery and creativity.
- Duration of Your Experience: On arrival, there will be a 15-minute briefing session to prepare, followed by a tight five-minute entry window and a purchasing time of about ten minutes. Therefore, plan for a total engagement of approximately 30 minutes.
- Immediate Exit: If any one team member gets approached by a store clerk, the entire group must exit immediately—an exhilarating twist sure to spark friendly competition and excitement among friends.

Purchase Conditions

To make a purchase, customers must select items and place them in their cart. The twist? Each individual in the group must spend at least 1,100 yen (tax included) during their shopping visit. Regardless of whether you enter alone or accompanied by two friends, the group’s entry fee remains the same:

- Weekday Entry Fee: 3,300 yen
- Weekend Entry Fee: 5,500 yen

These prices include a curated shopping experience that emphasizes interaction over transactional simplicity.
