Role-playing games have recently become one of China's most popular games, especially among young people.
Role-playing is a game in which about five to eight players play roles in a fictional setting. ①一场游戏通常会持续4到7个小时。The players take responsibility for acting out these roles and win the game by finding clues.
A shop owner named Shen, who has had his shop in Beijing for more than ten years, said that besides well-qualified(高素质的)staff, a competitive role-playing game shop should also have a good location, a good script and rich experience. ②He pointed out that most of the players in his shop are from 18 to 35 years old.
Besides offline stores, online role-playing stores are also very popular. One owner said the number of their app's users has increased by eight million, according to a CCTV report.
Lu Mengyue, a senior role-player who has been playing for six years, said that she likes reasoning, as she enjoys the process of collecting the clues. "I like watching Who's The Murderer. And I like the feeling of success after using my knowledge to find out the answers, " said Lu. Li Yuyu, another role-player, said that she could get to know her friends' personalities(性格) or even people she just met within a short period of time when playing role-playing games.
"It is a good game for making friends and getting familiar with them, especially when you just met some new friends," said Li.
