- — Luna, admiring the garden
The B. Garden (the "B" meaning "biotope") is an escape room behind the blue Chromatic Door on Floor B. Sigma, Alice, and Luna investigate this room on Alice's route. Aside being an escape room, the area is perhaps the most important escape room in the story, as several important scenes and endings (namely in the Cyan routes) take place in it.
Layout[]
Concept art.
The B. Garden is a huge room shaped like a fan. It has many trees and a stream that flows through it. Near the entrance is a Japanese Zelkova. In the room is also a switch, which is used to darken the room to simulate day and night. It has also a small toolshed and an artificial waterfall. There are several benches along the pathway through the garden. At the end of the path is a scale.
Story[]
Luna and Alice in the garden.
Sigma accesses the B. Garden with Alice and Luna on Alice's path. Luna comments on how beautiful the garden is, and Sigma wonders what the garden's purpose is.
After searching the B. Garden, Sigma finds two moon cards in the safe, a map of Floor B, a diagram that says "Rhizome 9" and "Nevada Test Site" on it, a note that says "IG", and the exit key. Sigma and Luna take one moon card, while Alice takes the other one. They soon exit the B. Garden and meet up with Tenmyouji, Dio, and Phi.

Minigames[]
Scale Comparison[]
Caution: If you are playing this minigame on Hard mode and you fail a certain amount of times, the difficulty is changed to Easy.
This minigame is accessed after finding all the metal coins. In this minigame, the player must compare all the metal coins to see which ones are the lightest and the heaviest. The player only has four attempts to do this before the scale resets.
It is found that the weight of the coins, from heaviest to lightest, is green, yellow, white, and red.
Waterfall Buttons[]
Left, right, right, left, middle, middle, right
Coin Indentations[]
Red < White < Yellow < Green
Nine Stars[]
This minigame is accessed after placing the metal coins in weight order. The player must touch the stars in a certain order. The hint to this puzzle is found in the river when the lights are off. Depending on the order the player touches the stars, they will receive the Escape or File passwords.
To receive the Escape password, enter the stars in order of appearance from the entrance to the pond (purple, blue, yellow, green, red).
To receive the File password, enter the stars in order from largest to smallest (red, blue, yellow, purple, green).
Number Conversions[]
This minigame is accessed during a novel section of the game where Alice and Sigma are forced to decode the terrorist message found in the Infirmary during Alice END. In this minigame, the player must use the number Alice gives you to decode the message by moving each place for the number and typing the letter in. It is "78153 61098 83809 42419 90551", which is "198449351" to the third power. It is easier to write the number Alice gives you on paper. Otherwise, if you write it in the log, it will be very difficult to access the message. The solution is "COMPLETED". Failing to guess the letters correctly after multiple attempts results in a game over in which Alice leaves you in the garden.
Trivia[]
- It is known as "Biotope" in the Japanese version.
- The gravestone in this room is similar to the safe in 999, because they are not opened during the escape section of the room. Instead, they are opened during a story section later in the game, and turn out to be important to the plot of the game.
- This is the only escape room in the game to feature white arrows to navigate around it, due to its size. It is also the largest escape room in Virtue's Last Reward.
- This escape room contains one of the "lion eating a red sun" motifs, in the form of a mosaic in a pond.
