What is Script Kill?
Synopsis of the script kill
INTRODUCTION
Script Kill was originally a party game that was very popular in Europe and the United States. One guest secretly plays the role of the murderer without anyone else's knowledge, while the other guests, as players, need to investigate and reason to find the murderer.

Like many pop cultures, although the script killing form originated in Europe and the United States, the place that really makes it "flourish" is China. In recent years, with the promotion of some excellent featured scripts and related variety shows (especially star detectives), script killing has truly become a way for young people to make friends.

In the survey report of Chinese consumers' offline activity preferences in the first quarter of 2021, Ai Media Consulting, a domestic research company, pointed out that among the offline trend entertainment methods preferred by Chinese consumers in 2021, "playing script killing" ranked third with 36.1%, second only to "watching movies" and "sports and fitness".

Script kills the basic process
GUIDE & STEPS
- The player chooses the character they want to play and reads the background of the story and the script of the character.
- Players introduce themselves to each other as in-game identities.
- Disclose the information in your script to other players in the form of questions, small talk, etc. (key information can be hidden).
- The case leads were searched and then discussed in two rounds.
- Finally, the murderer is identified, and the motives and modus operandi are given, and the truth is later revealed.
As the script killing industry becomes more and more popular, industry norms and requirements are gradually improving. Players are also becoming increasingly "picky" about the script. The store not only needs to have a good environment, venue, but also needs to have a good script and host (DM).

TYPES & GENRES
Script kills script type
Here the neck length has to say what script types are in the script killing. As scripts kill an increasingly wide audience, stores and distributors (agencies that write scripts) need to provide different scripts for different groups of people. Novices and novice script killers and script killers who have played a lot of scripts will have different requirements for the script, and the quality of the script also needs to be divided by price. Therefore, the script is divided into: boxed version, city limited version and city exclusive book.
Boxed books: any script store can be bought through normal channels, there is no purchase restriction, all stores can open the book, usually the largest number, the quality is average, but there is no lack of some excellent books, more suitable for novices and beginner players, the price is also the cheapest.
City Limited Edition: The distribution will license these limited licenses to some stores, usually no more than 5 in a city. The aim is to ensure the quality of the folio as well as the cost. City limited editions are generally large publishers, the author spends relatively more time and energy, the quality is usually higher than the boxed version, the average player will start to contact the city limited book after a period of time.
City Exclusive: That is, the release only authorizes one script in one city to kill the store to have the qualification to list this book. Exclusive books require the store to bid, is the most expensive type of script, and will require the store to have a certain amount of time and experience. The exclusive book is often the "row of noodles" of a script store, and the best hosts and scene layouts are generally in the exclusive book of each store, after all, each exclusive book is bought at a high price in each store.
Seeing this, I believe everyone understands, and the fastest way to know if a store is good or not is to see if the store has an exclusive book and how the quality of the exclusive book is.
Why is script killing the new favorite of the times?
Different from traditional board games, the interactive and immersive experience of script killing can meet the social and entertainment needs of today's young groups.
Enjoy the fun of reasoning
WITTY PLEASURE
One of the great charms of the script is that it can satisfy people's desire for "burning brains". In fact, the TV series "Detective Di Renjie" that has dominated the screen for a long time, the "Detective Conan" that children are watching, and the detective novel "Sherlock Holmes" that swept the world... These popular literary and artistic works can also reflect people's love for "brain-burning" behaviors such as detective and reasoning.
On the other hand, it allows us to briefly achieve "de-characterization". At least for a few hours of the game, we removed the many "masks" of our daily lives, let go of the values and rules that have bound us for a long time, and let the long-suppressed "self" breathe...

Meet the social needs of modern people
MODERN WAY OF SOCIAL
Another big charm of script killing is to meet the social needs of contemporary people. Playing a script kill with someone you like, grinding each other through several hours of games, and enhancing feelings has become a new mode of communication between young people. In reality, there are also examples of strange young men and women who have become lovers because of the script killing.

Through script killing, friends bring friends, can meet new friends, can broaden the circle of communication, meet some new friends of similar age, out of the inherent circle, script killing such 'social attributes' is incomparable to other activities. More importantly, the social form of script killing is very much in line with the social model of Chinese and Asians, Asians generally get along slowly, and the way the script kills this plot is brought in is easy for everyone to slowly understand each other and open the topic.
Of course, the perfection of the industry and the extremely high playability are also the basis for the script to be able to explode. The playability of script killing is reflected in many types, such as horror, hardcore push, emotion, camp, family fun, restoration, etc. and so on... Everyone can find their own interest in the book; playability is also reflected in the fact that each type of book is not limited to one mode, often the classic excellent ben will have its own unique mechanism, which makes people shine, which determines the nature of the script to kill repeated multiple plays.
Playing the script is more about giving yourself a chance to relax and relax
Be able to do it in just a few hours
