ERP002 - China (feat. KK Xiang)

So I've played a lot of rooms around the whole world, including Europe, US and other countries in Asia.

But then I figured that all the other rooms in like different places outside of China, they are all like, for example, they are very light in acting and interacting and they are very more heavy on puzzles.

But for the rooms in China, they are more like they cut all the puzzle part basically and then they started to do something like immersive theater where you can interact with the actors and be one character inside of the star plot it's like you're not even only experiencing the story, but you are participating in it.

And then sometimes you can interfere the ending and be a essential character inside of the story.

And for a lot of rooms in China, we have more than four actors to act just one room so um it's like going into a actual like actual movie or theater just right in front of you so i think it is very um it is a very large difference between like other rooms in other countries and also we have a lot of like um cinematic level set designs and also a lot of big mechanisms with like really cool visual effect so i think you cannot get all those in other countries so that is why you should visit china

okay that sounds awesome awesome i'm really intrigued and my um my suggestion is let's just get into some of the rooms as far as i know you played I doubt we will be able to talk about every room in detail on this podcast, but let's just start with some and go from there and try to explain what these rooms are about.

So I will probably just throw a ball to, let's say, Anna and say, Anna, what was, for example, your...

I don't know, what's your most favorite room or the one that surprised you the most and why? Can you tell us a little bit about what it was, which room it was, and what comes to your mind when you think about this room? And then let's talk about it from there.

So let me tell you a little bit about Haven.

So this is also one of my favorite rooms actually, but it made a very big impression because it was the first that we played in China that was really with large mechanics, with like a huge and great set design.

And yeah, also you get very, very involved with the actress in this game.

Wow.

What do you mean by mechanics? I think Haven doesn't have a large elevator.

Is that what you mean? Or is it something else? Okay.

Yes, it is a large, large elevator that you're going into during the game.

And by the way, we try not to spoil as much.

Yes.

So we will not be too spoilery.

But obviously, we need to explain a little bit so that people understand what these rooms are about.

Okay, go on.

Sorry.

So...

Yeah, so basically, yeah, this elevator was bringing you to different, like, let's call them levels in the game.

And yeah, what they did with this elevator without spoiling was insane.

And I'm definitely saying this is the best elevator in an escape room that I have seen.
