　　上海死亡体验馆

　　CNN: We've all wondered what it's like to die. Now there's a game that claims it can fulfill¹ our curiosity, without actually killing² us.

　　"Samadhi -- 4D Experience of Death," is a morbid³ "escape room" game that uses dramatic special effects to bring players close to what its creators imagine is an experience of death.

　　When it opens in Shanghai in September 2014, it will invite participants to compete in a series of challenges to avoid "dying."

　　Losers get cremated⁴ -- or are at least made to lie on a conveyor belt that transports them through a fake funeral home incinerator to simulate death rites⁵.
