Nintendo is bringing The Legend of Zelda to a series of escape rooms touring the United States, offering fans a chance to experience the world of Hyrule in real-life.

Nintendo will partner with escape-room designer SCRAP to bring "Defenders of the Triforce" to eight cities beginning Jan. 31.

According to a news release, participants will work together in teams of six to solve a mystery set in a large space. Players will "interact with classic items and characters seen in The Legend of Zelda series like the Goron, Zora and Kokiri tribes," the statement said. "Discovered items can be used to solve puzzles and move forward into other areas, just like in The Legend of Zelda games."
