[Story Outline]
Six contestants with different identities, one secret room, five puzzles based on Zhuangzi's philosophy, and a 50 million NTD prize.
Who is the happiest person here? What kind of person is the most useful? Who can solve the puzzles and escape alive?
This time, you are not just an audience member, but the seventh contestant!
Put on the VR headset, and you will experience a desperate escape room test of human nature from a first-person perspective.
Six contestants trapped in a secret room must crack five puzzles containing Zhuangzi's philosophical ideas for a chance to escape and take away the 50 million NTD prize.
When desires, suspicions, and survival instincts intertwine, facing one difficult test of human nature after another, you will be immersed in witnessing an unpredictable trial of human nature.

10/26-27 Eight trial performances, hundreds of people experienced it in advance, with rave reviews:
"Even though I knew it was VR, I still instinctively dodged backwards when I heard the gunshot. The sense of presence is too strong!"
"You can both enjoy the story tension of a stage play and feel the wonderful performance of the actors up close!"
“It makes people rethink that we should grasp our true heart and happiness, instead of blindly accepting other people’s evaluations.”

Those who fail to pass the level before the light goes out, or violate the game rules and destroy the secret room facilities, will be electrocuted. ⬡As long as you pass the five levels within the time limit, you can leave the secret room and win a prize of 50 million.
