It's time for you and your friends to become the heroes of time in a real-life Legend of Zelda escape room.

Nintendo is linking up with escape room designers SCRAP for "Defenders of the Triforce." The experience lets teams of six people work on a mystery full of classic items and characters from The Legend of Zelda series, like the Goron and Zora.

The "Defenders of the Triforce" puzzle tour kicks off in San Francisco on January 31, before moving on to seven other cities. They are Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, Phoenix, Houston, Chicago and New York.

Tickets — as well as more details — can be found at SCRAP's website. Plus, Nintendo is promising that people can purchase exclusive Legend of Zelda merchandise after participating in "Defenders of the Triforce."

On the gaming front, Nintendo's next entry in the storied series is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It's planned to release next year on Wii U and Switch, though might not arrive in time for the hybrid system's launch.
