The game supports the same eight languages as this website: English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, French, Spanish and German.

No. Staff welcome you and hand over your kit at the start. Your group then follows the story through Higashiyama on its own. The web atlas provides directions and puzzles, and HELP in the game covers instructions and troubleshooting. Individual support and real-time assistance are not provided during the experience; emails are reviewed later. You do not need to return to the meeting point at the end.
