Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of board game technology, specifically to an immersive script-based murder mystery game platform controlled by a WeChat mini-program. Background Technology

[0002] Murder mystery games are a type of modern board game where players take on different roles in a specific environment based on a unique script for each player, and solve puzzles as the script progresses. Murder mystery games are generally divided into two categories: real-life murder mystery games and round-table murder mystery games.

[0003] In round-table murder mystery games, players sit around a table, read a paper script under the guidance of the script host, fill in the environment based on their imagination, choose the location to investigate, and pay the corresponding "price" to obtain all the clues within the location. However, existing live-action murder mystery games require building an environment that perfectly matches the current script. While providing customers with an experience that round-table murder mystery games cannot offer, it requires a lot of manpower and resources. In addition, when the script becomes outdated and needs to be replaced with a new one, the decoration of the venue also needs to be further changed and upgraded, which is costly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an immersive script-based murder mystery game platform controlled by a WeChat mini-program. It has the advantages of low cost and saving manpower and resources, and solves the problem that existing script-based murder mystery game scenes often require decoration to create a realistic scene, which is costly and wastes manpower and resources.

[0005] The present invention relates to an immersive script-based murder mystery game platform controlled by a WeChat mini-program, comprising a backend server, a local host that exchanges data with the backend server via network signal, a projection device electrically connected to the local host, a mini-program installed on a mobile phone that can exchange data with the backend server, and a wall-forming mechanism installed on a wall and controlled by the local host, on which the projection device can project images. The wall-forming mechanism includes a main frame installed inside the wall, a display frame and a host frame fixedly installed inside the main frame, with the display frame and host frame respectively protruding from two sides of the wall. An elastic cover is fixedly connected to the front of the display frame, allowing the projection device image to be clearly projected onto the surface. Several evenly distributed retraction mechanisms are fixedly connected between the interior of the display frame and the elastic cover. A control host for controlling the opening and closing of the retraction mechanisms is fixedly connected inside the host frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the retraction mechanism includes an electromagnet fixedly connected inside the display frame, and a thin iron sheet opposite to the electromagnet is provided inside the elastic cover. The electromagnet is electrically connected to the control chip inside the control host via wires.

[0007] By using electromagnets and thin iron sheets, when the scene is projected onto the surface of the elastic cover by the projection device, the electromagnets at different positions can be controlled by the main unit to attract the thin iron sheets, causing the surface of the elastic cover to have different degrees of indentation. Combined with the image in the projection device, this makes the participants feel more realistic.

[0008] Furthermore, telescopic rods evenly distributed around the electromagnet are fixedly connected inside the display frame, and the end of the telescopic rod away from the display frame is fixedly connected to the inside of the elastic cover.

[0009] The telescopic rod allows for the limitation of the thin iron sheet's movement path, preventing the electromagnet from attracting the thin iron sheet corresponding to an adjacent electromagnet and causing image distortion.

[0010] Furthermore, a grid-like isolation pad is fixedly connected inside the elastic cover, and the surface of the isolation pad is fixedly connected to the surface of the thin iron sheet. An LED light strip is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the display frame, and the LED light strip is provided with several LED beads. Each LED bead can be individually controlled to light up and turn off by the control host.

[0011] The LED light strips can be set up to illuminate at appropriate times in conjunction with the images projected onto the projector, further enhancing the display effect of the projector.

[0012] Furthermore, a cabinet is fixedly connected to the side of the display frame. The cabinet is embedded in the wall and has a pump inside. The air inlet pipe of the pump passes through the cabinet and the display frame and extends to the position between the display frame and the elastic cover. The air outlet pipe of the pump passes through the inside of the cabinet and extends to the outside of the cabinet and the wall. A sealed door that can seal the inside of the main frame is rotatably connected to the surface of the main frame away from the display frame via a pivot.

[0013] The included pump, which can be used in conjunction with a telescopic rod, allows for a more three-dimensional image on the surface of the elastic cover. It also allows for adjustment of the air intake to control the overall expansion of the elastic cover according to changes in the scene, creating a more realistic and dynamic scene.

[0014] One method for using an immersive script-based murder mystery game platform controlled by a WeChat mini-program includes the following steps:

[0015] S1. Customers scan a QR code to access the script-based murder mystery game's WeChat mini-program and authorize login.

[0016] S2. The mini-program retrieves data from the server via network signal, displays all scripts on the interface, and allows customers to select a script and make payment.

[0017] S3. The mini-program displays scripts for each customer. Customers read the scripts. At the same time, the mini-program activates the projection device through the local host based on the selected script and controls the shrinking mechanism based on the image projected on the projection device. The projection image causes different shaped indentations to appear on the surface of the elastic cover.

[0018] S4. The pump inside the chassis inflates the inside of the display frame, further expanding the elastic cover to create the scene, allowing customers to start playing the murder mystery game.

[0019] S5. After the customer finishes the murder mystery game in the mini-program, the projection equipment and shrink mechanism will shut down, and the customer can leave the room in an orderly manner.

[0020] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0022] 1. This invention, through its projection equipment and wall-forming mechanism, allows for the creation of new murder mystery scripts without the need for a complete renovation of the room. The projection equipment projects the corresponding scene onto the wall-forming mechanism, which then enhances the image's three-dimensionality and realism, thus completing the scene's creation. Compared to renovating the entire wall, creating a scene through projection equipment is a lower-cost method. Furthermore, the scene can be switched via a mini-program, enabling a low-cost, reusable immersive experience room.

[0023] 2. This invention utilizes electromagnets and thin iron sheets to allow the electromagnets at different positions to attract the thin iron sheets when the scene is projected onto the surface of the elastic cover. This causes the surface of the elastic cover to become concave to varying degrees. Combined with the image projected onto the screen, this creates a more realistic experience for the participants. The telescopic rods also limit the movement path of the thin iron sheets, preventing electromagnets from attracting the thin iron sheets corresponding to adjacent electromagnets and causing image distortion.

[0024] 3. The present invention uses LED light strips that can light up at appropriate times to cooperate with the image of the projection device, further enhancing the display effect of the projection device. At the same time, the dual-purpose pump can work with the telescopic rod to make the image on the surface of the elastic cover more three-dimensional. It can also control the expansion degree of the elastic cover according to the scene changes by adjusting the air intake, creating a more realistic and dynamic scene. Attached Figure Description

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 An immersive script-based murder mystery game platform controlled by a WeChat mini-program includes a backend server, a local host that exchanges data with the backend server via network signal, a projection device 1 electrically connected to the local host, a mini-program installed on a mobile phone that can exchange data with the backend server, and a wall-forming mechanism 2 installed on the wall and controlled by the local host, on which the projection device 1 can project images. The wall-forming mechanism 2 includes a main frame 21 installed inside the wall. A display frame 22 and a host frame 23 are fixedly installed inside the main frame 21, and the display frame 22 and the host frame 23 are respectively exposed on two sides of the wall. An elastic cover 24 is fixedly connected to the front of the display frame 22 so that the image of the projection device 1 can be clearly projected onto the surface. Several evenly distributed retraction mechanisms 25 are fixedly connected between the inside of the display frame 22 and the elastic cover 24. A control host 26 for controlling the opening and closing of the retraction mechanisms 25 is fixedly connected inside the host frame 23.

[0037] Example 1, through the provided projection device 1 and wall forming mechanism 2, allows for the creation of a new murder mystery script without the need for a complete renovation of the room. The projection device 1 simply projects the corresponding scene onto the wall forming mechanism 2, which then makes the image more three-dimensional and realistic, thus completing the scene creation. Compared to the overall renovation of the walls, the method of creating a scene through the projection device 1 is more cost-effective. The scene can also be switched through a mini-program, achieving a low-cost, reusable immersive experience room.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] Please see Figure 4The shrinking mechanism 25 includes an electromagnet 251 fixedly connected inside the display frame 22, and a thin iron sheet 252 opposite to the electromagnet 251 inside the elastic cover 24. The electromagnet 251 is electrically connected to the control chip inside the control host 26 via wires.

[0040] Unlike Embodiment 1, the electromagnet 251 and thin iron sheet 252 are designed so that when the scene is projected onto the surface of the elastic cover 24 by the projection device 1, the electromagnet 251 at different positions can be controlled by the host 26 to attract the thin iron sheet 252, so that the surface of the elastic cover 24 will have different degrees of indentation. Combined with the image in the projection device 1, the participants feel more realistic.

[0041] Example 3:

[0042] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The display frame 22 has telescopic rods 27 that are evenly distributed around the electromagnet 251, and the end of the telescopic rods 27 away from the display frame 22 is fixedly connected to the inside of the elastic cover 24.

[0043] Unlike Embodiment 2, the telescopic rod 27 allows for the limitation of the movement path of the thin iron sheet 252, preventing the electromagnet 251 from attracting the thin iron sheet 252 corresponding to the adjacent electromagnet 251, which would cause the image to be distorted.

[0044] Example 4:

[0045] Please see Figure 2-3 The elastic cover 24 has a grid-shaped isolation pad 28 fixedly connected inside, and the surface of the isolation pad 28 is fixedly connected to the surface of the thin iron sheet 252. The inner wall of the display frame 22 is fixedly connected to an LED light strip 29, and the LED light strip 29 is provided with several LED beads. Each LED bead can be individually controlled to light up and turn off by the control host 26.

[0046] Unlike embodiment 3, the LED light strip 29 is designed to illuminate at appropriate times in conjunction with the image of the projection device 1, thereby further enhancing the display effect of the projection device 1.

[0047] Example 5:

[0048] Please see Figure 3The side of the display frame 22 is fixedly connected to the housing 3, which is embedded in the wall. The housing 3 is equipped with a pump and a blower. The air inlet pipe of the pump and the blower passes through the housing 3 and the display frame 22 and extends to the position between the display frame 22 and the elastic cover 24. The air outlet pipe of the pump and the blower passes through the interior of the housing 3 and extends to the exterior of the housing 3 and the wall. The surface of the main frame 23 away from the display frame 22 is rotatably connected to a sealed door that can seal the interior of the main frame 23 via a pivot.

[0049] Unlike Embodiment 4, the dual-purpose pump can work with the telescopic rod 27 to make the overall surface of the elastic cover 24 more three-dimensional. It can also adjust the air intake to control the overall expansion of the elastic cover 24 according to the scene changes, creating a more realistic and dynamic scene.

[0050] A method for using an immersive script-based murder mystery game platform controlled by a WeChat mini-program includes the following steps:

[0051] S1. Customers scan a QR code to access the script-based murder mystery game's WeChat mini-program and authorize login.

[0052] S2. The mini-program retrieves data from the server via network signal, displays all scripts on the interface, and allows customers to select a script and make payment.

[0053] S3. The mini-program displays scripts for each customer. The customer reads the script. At the same time, the mini-program activates the projection device 1 through the local host according to the selected script, and controls the shrinking mechanism 25 according to the image projected on the projection device 1. The shrinking mechanism 25 is adjusted to create different shaped indentations on the surface of the elastic cover 24 in conjunction with the projected image.

[0054] S4 and the dual-purpose air pump in the chassis 3 inflate the interior of the display frame 22, causing the elastic cover 24 to expand further, thus creating the scene. Customers can then begin playing the murder mystery game.

[0055] S5. After the customer finishes the murder mystery game in the mini-program, the projection device 1 and the shrinking mechanism 25 are closed, and the customer can leave the room in an orderly manner.

[0056] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
