I really enjoyed hearing @lauraehall.bsky.social talk about murder mystery (LARP) games on @secretlivesofgames.bsky.social podcast. I just played a Group SNE one with my students. Japan based, and unfortunately not in English (yet. Perhaps I can persuade them 😉 )

今日は高校サッカーの決勝戦だったので、スーファミの「全国高校サッカー」をプレイするのにいいタイミングだった。

地元のチームでプレイしてみたけど、弱かったw

面白いことに、町の名前が逆さまになっている。
「守谷」vs「猿島」

Learning more about 夕闇通り探検隊 thanks to the wonderfully deep dive by @dungeonchill.bsky.social. Thanks for the excellent work on this eye wateringly expensive game.

(Though, on メルカリ prices seem to have come down a lot since those shown in the video 👀)
