Do you have a month to kill, can travel to Japan, and have $5? You’re in luck! You can participate in a real-life version of The Game of Life, featuring giant sized replicas of all your favorite pieces. There’ll even be buses to shuttle you around as your playing piece.
Yoron, a remote island in southern Japan, will be hosting the month-long game in hopes to boost tourism in the wake of 3 major typhoons last year.
Players will be give fake money, a map of the island, and clues of where they need to go next. The island will be diving into 4 sections, each with their own board and spinner. While there’s no gigantic prize, but the game is setup so all the players can enjoy themselves without worrying about going “broke” by the end.
The game begins July 19th, and players can join up until the end on September 20th.
