剧本杀
释义 DEFINITION
剧本杀最初指需要玩家共同演绎剧本的社交推理游戏，现多指需要多人角色扮演的沉浸式剧本娱乐形式。该词包含三层含义：
- 字面指剧本式谋杀推理游戏，源自英国真人角色扮演游戏（LARP）
- 2016年后特指结合狼人杀社交属性的剧本推理桌游
- 2020年疫情后延伸为线上语音组局+线下实景体验的复合娱乐模式
当前互联网语境中，90%的使用场景特指需5-8人参与、耗时4-6小时、包含角色个人任务和集体推理的剧本游戏，典型平台如「百变大侦探」、「我是谜」等APP。
词源故事 ETYMOLOGY
剧本杀的演化堪称中国Z世代的社交革命史。2013年，芒果TV引进英国《死罪》综艺时首次将LARP（真人角色扮演游戏）概念带入大众视野，但真正引爆市场要等到2016年《明星大侦探》的热播。
初期被称为『谋杀之谜』的游戏在本地化过程中遭遇水土不服——中国玩家更注重情感共鸣而非纯粹推理。2018年《古木吟》等情感本的诞生彻底改写行业，这个讲述汶川地震的剧本让『哭本』成为新卖点，数据显示78%的90后女性玩家将情感宣泄作为主要参与动机。
2020年新冠疫情催生线上剧本杀APP爆发，『7点修仙车』（指深夜进行的语音组局）成为大学生标配。令人意外的是，相亲市场也将其纳入标准化流程——上海某婚介所数据显示，通过3小时剧本杀观察对象性格的成功率比传统咖啡约会高40%。
例句：
『周五组个硬核推理本吗？我这边有三缺一』
『这个本子太顶了，我们车上的小姐姐哭完了一包纸巾』
DEFINITION
Jubensha (literally 'script killing') is China's answer to Western murder mystery parties with unique cultural twists. It involves:
- 6-hour immersive roleplay sessions where players act out assigned characters
- Hybrid gameplay combining Clue-style deduction and RPG elements
- Three-stage structure: Reading script → Searching for clues → Group debate
Unlike D&D, it uses pre-written scripts (ranging from historical dramas to sci-fi) and requires solving a central mystery. The 'killing' refers to metaphorical 'killing time' rather than literal violence.
ETYMOLOGY
The rise of Jubensha mirrors China's youth culture transformation. When Mango TV adapted BBC's Murder in Successville in 2013, few predicted LARP would evolve into a $2.1 billion industry by 2022.
The turning point came with 2016's Who's the Murderer variety show. But traditional Western-style whodunits faced cultural barriers—Chinese players preferred emotional resonance over pure logic puzzles. The 2018 release of Wooden Chant, a tearjerker script about the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, revolutionized the industry. Suddenly 'cry-worthy scripts' became top sellers, with 78% female players aged 18-24 citing emotional release as their main motivation.
The pandemic accelerated innovation. Voice-based apps birthed the '7PM immortal squad' phenomenon—college students roleplaying via voice chat till dawn. Surprisingly, matchmaking agencies adopted it as speed-dating 2.0; Shanghai data shows 40% higher compatibility success rate versus coffee dates.
Sample usage:
'Friday hardcore推理本? We need 1 more player.'
'This script destroyed us—our girl cried through 3 tissue packs!'
