Setting:
This episode is about the theme of Avengers where the environment 
that being designed with some smokes and special lighting in order 
to create the mysterious, sci-fi kind of feel.To match the themes,
they even create the costumes for each members
 who play different roles of Avengers 

However, this is a reality game show, so the place where they 
set to play this game is in a shopping mall. With wearing 
the Avenger's costumes, but walk around inside 
a shopping mall it creates the funny element of virtue reality

For example the video below, in 0:43-0:56, the guy HAHA is

to his base where the scene has placed a lot of his "buddy"and devices 
to match with his role.

Mood:
The theme of this episode is about Avengers, so the mood 
or feeling about this episodes have to be fantasy, mysterious, sci-fi
kind of feel in order to create tension among the audiences. 
The audiences should not know what happened in next second.

continuity of the game has clearly showed the tension,mysterious environment
and question to the audiences where what will happen next?
