Nowadays, more and more young Chinese get interested in a new way of having fun in their spare time. They enjoy playing a puzzle-solving game known as “an escape room”. In an escape room, a team of players work together to discover useful information, solve puzzles and finish tasks to get out of an enclosed space.
In such a game, different modern technologies, like augmented reality (增强场景), virtual reality and 5G, are used to create a fantastic world. Live actors also communicate with players to make the experience more real. With all of these, players will totally throw themselves into a story and pay their attention to their final goal— getting out of the room in a race against the clock.
He Shu, the director of a popular escape room program, says this game requires speed, problem-solving skills, creativity and patience. It gives players a strong sense of achievement when they complete tasks and break out of a room. It needs their reasoning (推理) skills, physical efforts and good teamwork,” she said. It’s a good ice-breaking tool to make new friends as well as grow closer to the old ones.”
So why is this puzzle solving game so popular? According to a study, the young people nowadays prefer spending more money on experiences than on products. The escape room game provides them with excellent experience. The other reason is just a FOMO (fear of missing out) effect. If you see someone go to a very cool place, you will probably go to ask, “Where is it? I want to go there as well.”

How are you? Do you enjoy your summer holiday? I’m sure you do.
It’s been two weeks since I returned to New Zealand, but I’m still thinking of the exciting city life in Hong Kong. In New Zealand, life is totally different. I miss the delicious sweet soup so much.
The weather has been bad these days. Yesterday I got a cold and didn’t go to school today. I hate taking medicine but I have to take it. I must get well soon because I will have tests on science and geography next week. I must prepare for the tests this time so that I won’t fail again.
I remember that you like our local hand cream (护手霜), but it is quite expensive in Hong Kong. I bought you some last weekend and I am sending it to you. It’s much cheaper here than in Hong Kong.
It’s almost the end of August. It’s time to pack (收拾) your school bag and get ready for the new school term. Take good care.
With love,
Judy
