Wired article: The Great Escape 

Interesting article on "live immersive gaming":
You're trapped in a high tech Spanish slammer, crawling through real tunnels, behind real bars. First-person gameplay breaks out of the box.

My impression is that it's real life, you actually move through the prison.

I live near there and just emailed for a coupon that they send on their mailing list. I'll give you all a heads up after the show! I'm pretty stoked about it!

[Live Game] La Fuga

admins please move this if its in the wrong location, but I thought people might be interested in la fuga:

"Think of La Fuga (The Escape) as a $20 million cross between Halo and laser tag. The goal is simple: Decipher visual riddles to navigate and escape Mazzina, a high tech prison."

more info: http://pinkrobotsushi.com/?p=253

Hey, I think this is the same thing as this thread. Mods might want to merge? (Sounds cool though!)

good catch. I searched for "la fuga" but couldn't find anything.

mods can just delete this or merge it if they want in order to keep things uncluttered around here.

Bad telenovella?! The melodrama only heightens the grand experience!
Hopefully this kinda thing catches on, but it sounds uber-expensive start-up costs.
