A virtual reality puzzle adventure that combines reality and reality Explore the alternative landscape of Aberdeen Fishing Port

The new Aberdeen chapter of "Island Gathering" is created with the attractions near the center of Aberdeen as the main axis. It is created by two original characters, the apprentice god Ah-Bang and Zhong Bell, and two new members "Xiao Ding" and "Ding Gong Brave", who will work with everyone to uncover the long-standing legend in Hong Kong: "The Mystery of Lu Ting". The story takes players through the historic attractions of Aberdeen from a unique and first-person perspective, allowing them to experience the customs and cultural sentiments of Aberdeen's fishing port. According to legend, Lu Ting is the ancestor of the people of Lantau Island and the Tanka people. He is a half-human, half-fish creature and was recorded as early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China. There were even newspaper reports that Lu Ting was captured in Hong Kong in the 1990s, which made the legend seem real or imaginary, adding endless imagination.

Before the adventure begins, each participating team will receive a set of game props package, which includes a game manual, map, and tools and items needed to solve puzzles. With all the equipment, they can officially start the journey. The game starts from the famous landmark Aberdeen Square Archway. The route passes through the Tin Hau Temple, which is regarded as the patron saint of the sea by fishermen, the Neptune Temple, and the temple cluster with the highest density of temples in Hong Kong to carry out mysterious tasks. Of course, you can't miss the Aberdeen Promenade, which still retains the style of a fishing port. Players can enjoy the scenery along the way while walking to the seafood market. With the different clues and puzzle-solving methods in the game package and mobile app, participants will gradually understand the little-known facts about fishermen from the basics, and delve into the cultural heritage, and travel around Aberdeen in an interesting way.
