Nintendo is turning the Legend of Zelda into an 'escape room' game, and touring it around the country for lucky fans to experience, starting in late January.

If you're not familiar with escape room games, they're real-life versions of the popular 'escape the room' type of puzzle games. Typically, a small group of people will be locked in a room and have to solve puzzles, decrypt messages, and find clues in order to escape the room.

Nintendo is teaming up with SCRAP Entertainment, a pioneer of escape room games, to bring a Legend of Zelda one of these games to eight cities in the U.S. starting in late January.

The game will be called "Defenders of the Triforce," and should have elements instantly recognizable to fans of the series. Participants will work in groups of six to solve a mystery, and they'll need to interact with classic characters like the Goron and Zora tribes, as well as collect items to progress in certain areas, just like in other Zelda games.

Defenders of the Triforce will be coming to San Fransisco on January 31, LA on February 10, Pheonix on February 15, and San Diego on February 24. After that, it has stops in Seattle, Chicago, Houston, and NYC, with dates to be announced.
