With elements such as reasoning, brain-burning, and crossing, script killing has gradually become a new favorite of entertainment and social for many young people. Recently, in the "Happy Sunset" board game experience activity organized by Xinzhuang Community in Gusu District, Suzhou City, 8 elderly people tried the script killing game "Soldier Coming to the City 2 Hello, New Tianjin" for the first time, and the red theme made the old people shout "enjoyable". The reporter visited the market and learned that some old people with "performance dreams" when they were young were eager to try the script killing game, and offline stores began to launch suitable scripts for silver-haired players, and the "social attributes" that came with the game also made the old people excited.
Script killing originated abroad, and players play the characters in the script to reason around the cases in the script, restore the relationship between the characters, dig up evidence, and finally find the murderer. Generally, there are 5-8 players per game, and the duration of a single game is 4-7 hours. The reporter came to a script killing offline store located on Guangji South Road in Suzhou, where several players were doing pre-game preparations, including choosing costumes, makeup styling, etc., to restore the script content as immersively as possible and enhance the sense of experience.
Ayang, the game host in the store, told reporters that since its opening for more than a year, there have been many players who have booked, especially on holidays, and basically the rooms are full. "There are several WeChat groups in the store, and the players have met a lot of new friends through the game, very happy," Ayang noted, now there are more and more elderly groups to join, want to "find out", most of them have an "old urchin" heart, unwilling to be eliminated by the times, and some of them frankly hope to keep the same frequency with their children, through such an emerging game to establish a bridge of communication, "cross" back to the world of young people.
Luo Qian, 66 years old this year, is experiencing the script killing game project for the second time, the first time when traveling in Hengdian. ""Soldiers Coming to the City 2 Hello, New Tianjin" is a patriotic-themed red script, with the Tianjin battlefield in 1949 as the background, telling the efforts and sacrifices made by the Chinese communists to liberate Tianjin," Luo Qian recalled with emotion, he had an "actor's dream" when he was young, and the moment he changed into his costume, it seemed to "cross" to the smoke-filled Tianjin, standing in the urgent situation of Chinese history, feeling the power of faith under the illumination of ideals, and personally experiencing the difficulties and dangers that revolutionary ancestors once faced. Looking for answers to stories. After the game, the old man Chen Ying said: "I play the role of Shuxin, as the only living person, inheriting the common faith of my partners and forging ahead for the victory of the Communist Party." Today is the first time to play script killing, it's quite interesting, I reviewed history, and tried something different! ”
Cao Zhujuan, 59, wore a cheongsam during the game, almost subverting the image in life. She smiled and told reporters: "Have a lot of fun, the script killing may be a little 'brain-burning' for us elderly people, but it is also a good opportunity to exercise thinking skills, and the immersive performance can make everyone more enthusiastic, and we will play together next time we make an appointment!" ”
Ayang told reporters that in order to provide a better game participation experience for enthusiastic elderly people and meet the reasoning hobbies of detective players, although there are not many scripts for the elderly to play in the store, each book store will be carefully modified, "The story should have a sense of age, the plot will be deleted and modified, the reasoning process should not be too complicated, the focus is on letting the performance desire of the elderly be fully released, and the duration should not be too long." ”
