故宮首款互動解謎游戲書即將推出

The Palace Museum will present its first-ever interactive puzzle book in January 2019.

故宮將于2019年1月推出其首部互動解謎游戲書。

The book aims to immerse readers in traditional Chinese culture and knowledge of the Forbidden City.

該書旨在向讀者推廣傳統(tǒng)中華文化以及紫禁城的相關知識。

The book is thread-bound, with traditional accessories such as a brush pen, a paper-cut, a copper coin and a map dating back to the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the 18th century.

這本線裝書還附贈一些傳統(tǒng)物件，譬如毛筆、剪紙、銅幣以及18世紀乾隆年間的地圖等。

Readers will need to download a mobile phone app, through which they can explore close to 30 puzzles in the book.

讀者需下載一個手機應用，通過這個應用來探索書中的近30個謎題。

Money for publishing the book was raised through crowdfunding. From Oct 24 to Nov 30, the funding reached 20.2 million yuan, breaking the record in China's publishing industry.

這本互動解謎書乃眾籌出版。在10月24日至11月30日期間，該書眾籌金額達到2020萬元，打破了中國出版業(yè)的眾籌金額紀錄。

Although the story itself is fictional, its 12 alternate endings were written based on 63 books and over 200 academic essays of history and culture from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

雖然故事本身是虛構(gòu)的，但它的12個替代結(jié)尾是根據(jù)清代(1644-1911)的63本書和200多篇歷史文化論文寫成的。

Each detail was strictly based on facts in order to let the readers learn more about arts, culture and history.

每個細節(jié)都嚴格基于事實，以便讓讀者更多地了解藝術(shù)、文化和歷史。

Wang Zhiwei, an editor with the Palace Museum Publishing House and designer of the puzzle book, said a hidden plot will lead readers to visit the Forbidden City.

故宮博物院出版社的編輯、互動解謎書的設計師王志偉表示，一個隱藏的情節(jié)將引導讀者探索紫禁城。

"This is designed to enhance the experience of our readers. We also hope the book may instill in readers who have never visited the Forbidden City an interest to learn more about Chinese history and culture," said Wang.

王志偉說道：“這是為了增強我們讀者的體驗。我們也希望這本書能向從未去過故宮的讀者灌輸一種興趣，讓他們對中國的歷史和文化有更多的了解。”
