"An Incredible Adventure of Our Senses" -Escape Room for learning human mind
To promote visual science to the public, a free Room Escape game with the theme of the Japanese Tanabata Festival will be held in Tainan during APCV. The public can experience a physically adventure game while exploring the wonderland of human mind. We have reserved some slots for APCV participants to also experience this physically adventure game. This game is free of charge and reservation is required. Participants must register as a group of 4 – 6 people. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis!

What is Room Escape?
Participants, trapped in a locked room, will need to solve multiple tasks to successfully decrypt the code and escape the room. The process requires participants to use their visual, auditory and tactile perception to collect three game-winning items within 1 hour. After the game, a short debriefing session on relevant visual science theories will be conducted by the members of the research group.
Why Room Escape?
This game aims to help participants realize that our sensation of the surroundings relies heavily on the complex information processing carried out by our brain. It is a pioneering method for scientists to engage the public.
