Experience the First-Ever Interactive UFO Catcher at AMUSEMENT EXPO 2025
The excitement of arcade games reaches new heights with the groundbreaking
'UFO CATCHER IMMERSIVE', set to debut at the AMUSEMENT EXPO 2025. This event, taking place from November 14 to 15 at Tokyo Big Sight, celebrates the 40th anniversary of the beloved UFO catcher game, brought to life by SEGA Group's SEGA Feve. This immersive attraction allows participants to experience the thrill of being both the prize and the player, creating an unforgettable gaming encounter.
What is 'UFO CATCHER IMMERSIVE'?
Unlike any conventional UFO catcher,
'UFO CATCHER IMMERSIVE' offers a unique twist where players become the prize to be captured. Imagine stepping into a giant UFO catcher machine, where the roles are flipped, and you must escape from a monster controlled by the game while trying to be caught by a human player. This dual-objective experience promises excitement and challenges as players dodge the monster in the first half before showcasing their appeal to be captured by a human operator in the latter half.
The experience not only tests your agility and creativity, but rewards those who achieve their goal with a special original sticker, commemorating their adventure in this extraordinary setup.
