#62 Jubensha : Murder Mystery with Chinese characteristics

 A mix between the boardgame Cluedo and LARP (live action role-playing), jubensha is the latest craze for over 10 million game enthusiasts in China. Played mostly by young white-collar workers, the industry has seen a massive influx of players and capital while entrepreneurs and scriptwriters want to offer the best experience for players. Where does this success come from and where is this industry heading?

Featuring
- D Qiuqiu: Partner and Jubensha’s market manager at G STone
- Lu Mingfei : Jubensha store owner
