Description

On this week's show we’re broadcasting from Shanghai and turning a travel schedule into a ground-level tour of what modern mall-based entertainment looks like in China, from massive active-play parks to a karting add-on that feels like real-life Mario Kart. We also track the week’s biggest location-based entertainment trends, arcade game news, and the simple reasons FEC promotions keep failing.
