Players say they experience “strong feelings of immersion” and a sensation of being “instantly transported to Hong Kong” in the rooms.
As the online “escape room” trend sweeps China, a new genre of Hong Kong-themed games has gripped the imagination of young adults in the country’s capital Beijing.“ in Chinese, the rooms not only showcase iconic cityscapes from districts and locations like Mong Kok, Nathan Road, and Lan Kwai Fong, they also incorporate plots inspired by Hong Kong gangster movies, traditional tea houses, and other cultural icons of the city.
Participants are secretly assigned roles in each of the rival gangs or the police force, and they must search for clues to find their teammates and collaborate to succeed as a team.“While the style may appear to be that of a simple Hong Kong gangster movie, interacting with the non-player characters allows you to uncover the hidden secrets and threads that are intricately tied to each gang and the police station.
Puzzles can involve songs sung by legendary late Cantopop singer, Leslie Cheung Kwok-wing. They also delve into topics like the “Four Heavenly Kings” of the genre, in particular, Alan Tam Wing-lun and Jacky Cheung Hok-yau, who contend for dominance. For instance, “Mong Kok Chaser” offers multiple story endings , while “Infernal Affairs” allows players to change into Hong Kong-style outfits, heightening the sense of engagement.
