Who's the KILLER

"Who's the KILLER?" was a brainstorming Murder Mystery organized by the Leo club of University of Colombo on 11th February 2017, at University of Colombo Grounds. Passionate and curious mystery solvers were gathered to one place and given different murder cases to solve and catch the killer within a given time.

There were many fun games, riddles, and photo booths, hot dog stalls, along with Money Rewards and material gifts for the winners. The involvers were given a perfect opportunity to have a relaxation and fun filled with curiosity along the event..!!!

As stated above in the introductory paragraph we, Leo club of university of Colombo started this project with ample objectives to serve the community in need. A glimpse of our objective that we intended to achieve via the project “Who’s the Killer?” 2017 are as follows;

·        To offer the participants an opportunity to get away from their studies and stressful lives, and have an enjoyment through solving curious murder mysteries.

·        Improve the innovative outlook of Leo club of University of Colombo.

·        To raise funds for the project “Be their Vision”, which was aimed at donating spectacles for the needy children at SOS villages Sri Lanka.

·        Gather Leos and non-Leos who shared same interests at one place.

At the outset the organizing committee of the project has discussed and prepared a plan to conduct the project. Then we searched a location to hold the event and prepared the project proposal to inform the aim of the project to the outside. 

Next the project chairperson assigned works to do and report them in the next committee meeting. We have conducted nearly 3 meetings to get information about the condition of the project at that moment. 

We initially started the social media campaigns and opened the registrations for the participants. Then we reserved the location of the event and obtained permission to hold the event. 

On the event day, the registrations took place as the first step and then the terms and conditions of the murder mystery was explained to the participants by the organizing committee. each group was provided with a clue and a sheet of mini riddles to fill through out the mystery hunt. 

The participants had to visit four locations nearby the event location, such as; Arcade Independence Square, Torinton Square, Race course and the Faculty of Science, University of Colombo. 

The first team to reach the end point with the correct name of the murderer was rewarded as the winners. 

           It was indeed a novel experience filled with many interactive and team building activities and a joyful event for all the participants where they celebrated and enjoyed it to the fullest. Is evident by the photographs that were taken on the event, which is now available on our official Facebook page.

In brief, the Leo club of university of Colombo was able to conquer the established objectives of “Who’s the Killer” with the ultimate support of organization committee of the project, Guidance of club president and secretary and all the club members, all the participant and every other person who supported by any means.
