I had a chance to conduct the offline game, 'Real Escape Game' last Friday(Once) and Saturday(3 Times). It is very popular in Japan, held even in Tokyo dome with 1700 audiences. In Taiwan, tickets are always sold out in 10 minutes. But unfortunately, I have just got to know this game this time.
If you enjoy online escape game, you know what it is. restricted space, puzzles, combination of the answers, the real answers and Escape! And you can enjoy it in real world!! If you enjoy in online, you do it by yourself but if you join this game, you can do it with others. It means the new keyword 'Teamwork' is added.
Now, maybe you want to ask me 'So, is it really interesting?' 'Does everyone really enjoy it?'. My answer is 'Yes!!' I also wondered 'can this game satisfy Korean audiences who are the most particular about anything in the world?' 'Do they really participate in the game?'
But surprisingly, as soon as I said 'Game Start', they jumped into the game. Whenever the movie which notifies time is passing, I even heard that all the peoples heaved a sigh.
This game is also known as a very difficult puzzles. (The percentage of correct answer is below 10%) 4 times performances with 25 teams in Korea but only 2 teams could escape with a correct answer. Others were satisfied with enjoying this game even though they failed to escape.
In December, the new real escape game will be held in Korea. I hope I could be the part of it again.
I couldn't help being up all night playing it despite its hard control and difficult missions. It was PERFECT itself. I just sum up its fun factors
1. Flying
Flying is one of great fun factors in this game. It helps Batman move faster and makes me feel a kind of freedom. But landing on the right place is quite difficult so that sometimes I show up myself to enemies even though I wanted to land behind of them.
2. Fighting
Compared to Bayonetta, fighting is more realistic. When I played Bayonetta, I felt like being separated from her because her fighting actions were too much. But when I played Batman, it seemed like I was fighting. Also, it was good to use only 2 buttons to fight mostly (For such a poor skilled gamer, me).
3. Fuzzle
I like steady going game. So, puzzles between actions like setting which one I take over first among enemies in train, finding a person or thing give me time to relax and I like it.
Above all, my simulation sickness was quite cured while I play it. I think it's time to play PORTAL!!
I've never heard of its name (though it's quite famous among board game players) and I was just sick and tired of its settings to start it. So, I really didn't want to play it at the first time. But my colleague loves it so I should have played even 3 times! But... I began to enjoy it!! I could understand its complicated rules finally.
The game story is based on German farms in 17th century. The couples who own small house and land feed cattle, cultivate crops, expand a house and increase their family. To win the game, you should choose which one you will focus on. But your co-players's decision affect on yours so Do not enjoy it, just think, think think, think!!
I'm quite accustomed to it but still its complicated settings bother me!! You even must set things for next round whenever each round ends!! I think if it's conversed to online game or a smartphone game, all the annoying things will be gone!! So, Agricola!! Please!!!
