We have set the details for the "Digital Chase Game" we will run at the "Irishi Festival" of Iriarai 4th Elementary School, which marks its 95th anniversary this year, on Saturday, November 14. Children who escape the hunters will receive one item from a Minecraft Advent Calendar.
What is the game?
Players try to escape from hunters on a chase-game stage that Digital Kodomo BASE built in the world of Minecraft. Sitting at a computer, players use a game controller to move their character and run through a school in the Minecraft world. Each game lasts 5 minutes. We will use a world that was built and tested at Houkago Lab, our after-school lab.
The hunters are skilled elementary and junior high school volunteers from Digital Kodomo BASE. Come and see if you can get away from them.

- Starts at 13:00, with a new group every 15 minutes (12 rounds from 13:00 to 16:00; see the timetable below)
