I first played jubensha with a group of Chinese friends in my hometown of Toronto in 2018. I absolutely loved the game and went online to find more in English so I could play with other friends, but to my dismay, there were none!

Once COVID-19 hit, I had some free time to translate Chinese games, and began hosting them with my friends. I loved being the GM and seeing how different groups act as their characters and approach the puzzles.

Starting in 2023, I began writing my own jubensha using my knowledge of existing Chinese jubensha and an understanding of what appeals to a Western audience. I’ve written two English-language jubensha from the ground up, both to great success, and I am committed to bringing more jubensha stories to the English-language world.

To this end, I founded Twist ‘n Turn Studios so that I can best contribute to the growing sphere of jubensha in the West. I’m rooted in passion for the game, fostering a welcoming community, and uplifting jubensha players, GMs, creators, shops, conventions, and anything else touching the jubensha world. This is the philosophy that guides Twist ‘n Turn Studios.
