On Saturday 31st October, around 30 detectives joined our committee at The Hive in the Students’ Union for Mystery Night: Behind the Curtain. The dress code was Malaysian characters, and the afternoon ran from 1:30pm to 4pm.
After a quick case briefing, teams got to work. Five committee members played the suspects, each waiting in their own booth to be questioned. One more played the victim’s ghost, who answered yes-or-no questions for any team willing to spend a token. To crack the case, teams had to piece together alibis, timestamps and evidence before naming the killer.
A huge thank you to Rafiq for writing the story. From the reactions in the room, it was a hit. The Ribena soda was finished by the end, and the pizza went even faster.
Thanks also to the 22 of you who filled in our feedback form. You asked for more help finding hints, more mixed-up teams, and the chance to interview suspects as a group. We’ll keep all of this in mind for next time.
Thanks to everyone who came, and to our cast for staying in character all afternoon. See you at the next MSSM event!
