​To ensure a smooth and immersive experience for all participants, please carefully review the following rules. This is a culturally themed interactive game based on Chinese historical settings. Some terms may be traditional or symbolic—we’ve included brief explanations to help you enjoy it fully.

​

I. Code of Conduct

🚫 No Stealing, Looting, or Mishandling “Bodies”

• Do not take any props, items, or tools unless directly instructed.

• If an NPC (non-player character) “dies” in the story, please respect both the character and the actor. There are no lootable items—touching or joking with the body is not allowed.

🤝 No Physical Contact Outside the Script

• Do not push, pull, or physically interact with NPCs or players unless the story specifically calls for it. Always respect personal space.

🚭 No Smoking (Including Vapes)

• Smoking and e-cigarettes are strictly prohibited inside the venue.

🧭 Respect Everyone

• Treat NPCs and other players with courtesy—even during dramatic moments like arrests or interrogations.

• If you’re unclear about something an NPC says, you’re welcome to ask politely again. Avoid confrontations.

​

II. Game Mechanics & Flow

🔍 Semi-Guided Clue Search

• This game uses a semi-open investigation system. You’ll only search for clues when an NPC instructs you to do so.

• Do not open boxes, drawers, or touch scenery on your own. Return any opened locks to their original state.

• Damaged props or equipment must be compensated for.

🔫 Firearms & Safe Distance

• Simulated firearms may be used by NPCs during specific scenes.

• If an NPC makes a “retreat” gesture, it means a shooting scene is about to happen—please step back at least 50cm for safety.

• Players are not allowed to use or grab firearms—your character is not trained in weapons use. Doing so may interrupt or cancel the game.

💀 Death & Consequences

• NPCs may “die” as part of the plot—please respect the performance.

• If your character dies, you will remain in the game, but your items will be transferred to your killer.

📜 Join the Organization Early

• Joining a key faction or group is essential to progressing your storyline. Don’t wait too long!

III. Other Notes

🍱 Food & Devices

• Food and drinks are allowed only in the lobby area.

• You may take photos, but video recording and live streaming are not allowed.

🍷 Alcohol Policy

• Please avoid drinking too much before the game. If you appear intoxicated, we unfortunately cannot allow entry, for safety reasons.

🏛️ Museum Collaboration

• This event is held in collaboration with a museum. To protect valuable exhibits and décor, please do not touch any objects unless explicitly told to by an NPC.

 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, and we look forward in seeing you at Shanghai 1939.
