Very excited to see our Jubensha on the shelves of @ancientrobotgames.bsky.social in Leith!

This is the first set of shop shelves that our experience is on, but it won’t be the last :)

Had a playthrough of All Falls Down: Sorroborough with @leftlion.bsky.social and had a wonderful time :)

Always heartening when you introduce a new genre, Jubensha, to a bunch of people and they enjoy it!

Was a pleasure presenting my talk on Making Your First Jubensha at the IEN Summit earlier this week!

So many people said such wonderful things about it, and it really feels like this genre is finding its audience and its creators in places like IEN :)

Here's to the future of Jubensha!

3 days until All Falls Down at @broadwaycinema.bsky.social

Joe Strickland: Jubensha isn’t always about murder, more story driven. Convenient, affordable, on demand. Low prep time.

There is a lot of talk here (by me) about organising a Jubensha convention in the UK next year, just saying…
Here's my ongoing thread about the Immersive Experience Network Summit in London, happening today and tomorrow!

Feel free to mute if you aren't into this stuff but it's a good crowd and people are pretty open about their opinions and experience... 🧵

Jubensha Haul!!!

It amazes me that this is still basically the entirety of this genre written in the English language, and I’m fudging a bit here with Alice is Missing

So glad that we’re making more so this scripted mystery game phenomena can reach more audiences outside of China and Singapore :)
