- Interactive Script Game Design
We wrote a LPDG script about our project for both fundraising and publicity. RPDG (Live Action Role-Playing Detective Game) is a popular contemporary recreation activity targeting young people. Each player is asked to play an immersive role according to the script; then, they need to find “the murderer” through the interaction with other characters. Wanting to benefit from the prevailing industry in China, our team wrote a script based on our project: the victim is named “PANSOLVER”, whose blood contains a universal antibody to all mutations of the coronavirus.
Not to our surprise, the LPDG script effectively raised money in three ways. First, we sold the LPDG script directly to LPDG stores. Then, we directly hold a game for our friends and families. We also tried to publish the LPDG script on a website or exhibition so that we can sell the copyright of our script to a larger market. The profit is considerable.
Since 2016, the market size of China's LPDG industry has continued to grow. By the beginning of 2020, the market size of China's LPDG industry has reached 11.74 billion yuan. For our customers, 48.9% can accept a unit price of a LPDG games of RMB50-90; 7.8% can accept a unit price of RMB90-110, and 3.5% can accept a unit price of more than that RMB110.
Accordingly, we set the price of our LPDG script at RMB666 for a whole set and the unit price at RMB89 for each player. Up till now, we already sold two sets of the script and held three offline LPDG games as organizers. So as to attract more customers with our sincerity, we had eighty percent off for all products, and we have successfully raised RMB2188. However, this is not the end. We will continue to sell and publish the script to a more significant market, raise more money and promote our project.

-Fundraising activity
Since the coronavirus has such a profound impact on us, we hope that more people can understand it, effectively prevent its transmission, and join us to spread the core values of our project. To that end, we held two charity sales events to raise money for conducting our project and raise awareness among the general public.
During the first sales event on July 10th 2020, we collaborated with an art exhibition by Jasmine Wan to organize an information session about our project. The exhibition is also about the pandemic and its effects on the public (see photos below). The presentation was about our idea and the experiments in the laboratory, and it successfully attracted many attentive audiences. Meanwhile, we tried to sell some peripheral products that were meaningful but cheap. For instance, we sold our team uniforms, stickers with our team LOGO, tea for older generations, and toys for children. We also sold a copy of the LPDG script described above.
Our second charity event on July 14th was held in a coffee shop located in a busy district with more than five neighborhoods and convenient public transportation. This event attracted even more people, and we earned more than RMB1000 by the end.
After raised about RMB5000 from the charity sales and the LPDG script, we allocated these funds reasonably. We donated half of the money to the orphanage and the rest as budgets for further promoting our project. The two charity events helped us promote our ideas to the public and raised funds for the project.
