From an initial pitch by Architect Maeda Toshio and developed by construction design expert Shiro Masamune, the indoors "On-wires" Quidditch game allows two teams of players to enjoy a real-life, in flight, game of Quidditch featuring every aspect of the game from the imagination of creator and author J K Rowling. The rules are almost identical to the description in Rowling's famous Harry Potter series of childrens' novels, with Beaters, Keepers, Chasers and the two Seekers all having their parts to play. The design of the flying "on-wires" Broomsticks is the real secret behind the unprecedented success and popularity of the game. Actual size replica Broomsticks are suspended on high tensile steel wires
from the circular ceiling and are controlled from a joystick within the shaft of
the broomstick allowing complete freedom of movement and altitude within the orb
shaped playing arena. A strong nylon safety net is stretched across the ground
three metres above the floor level so even falling from your broomstick has been
made safe. The Golden snitch is also launched by compressed air from the same random locations as the Bludgers though this can happen at any time during the game. If it is not caught by either of the playing Seekers the Snitch will be allowed to fall out of play until the next time it is launched by random computer control.
Each broomstick has a remote control directional thumb stick and an acceleration / brake finger trigger that allows total control while in flight. "Quite simply, On-wires Quidditch has to be played to be believed, and once you've played you won't want to go home." - International Gaming Press. |
