Ever since I watched the “LIAR GAME” drama series, I’ve thought it would be really cool to participate in something like that in real life - obviously, without the risk of losing all that money. As it turns out, it’s actually going to happen.

Well, sort of. The event is a promotional tie-in with the DVD box set of the drama, which went on sale October 3. There’s an invitation password that comes with the box set, and those who want to join simply enter the code into the show’s mobile website. Unfortunately, only 100 people are getting chosen, and applications end on Sunday, November 18 (yeah, this news is being reported late).

In any case, those lucky 100 will play in the “Real Liar Game” on December 8 in Tokyo. The game will include both the familiar (such as the “minority voting” round) and the unfamiliar (a round called the “reverse restructuring game”). I don’t know how the event will be run, but I hope that it retains at least some of the tension of the original series.

Erika Toda will be at the event; maybe Shota Matsuda is showing up too? I also wonder what the eventual winner gets… I’d be happy even if it were just a chance to shake Erika’s hand.
