Shibuya is a famous district and railway station in central Tokyo, famous for having the most busy pedestrian crossing in the world. The game SHIBUYA is a competitive puzzle game to guide pedestrians to their destinations. The game takes place at the heavily used pedestrian scramble at Shibuya, Tokyo. Pedestrians can successively move over adjoining grid's cells sharing the same color or shape, but they cannot move over the cells presently occupied by other pedestrians. Try to find your best route in the busy pedestrian scramble where people are rushing to all directions. In this puzzle game for two players, or for four as two teams (2 vs 2), first place the tiles to form the pedestrian scramble. The player or team who manages to have their pedestrians cross the street wins.
