Synopsis

Based on the novel of the same name by Fukami Reiichiro, this story is set on the live broadcast spectacular quiz show “Mystery Arena.” With no consecutive correct answers to the seemingly impenetrable questions, the prize money has ballooned through rollovers to a staggering 10 billion yen. Six carefully selected contestants, all confident in their deductive reasoning abilities, take on the challenge of identifying the culprit in “a murder that occurred in an isolated Western-style mansion during a storm.” Karasawa plays the host, who energizes the show wearing teardrop style sunglasses, an afro hairstyle, and a white suit.
