About
Masked Writer
Someone on campus has been leaving libelous messages of discontent and we think it is one of the agents in our agency.
The Masked Writer game takes your group and splits them into up to 150 teams of 4 people in order to determine the Masked Writer's identity (up to 600 people).
The setup for the game is that the teams are members of an agency trying to find the Masked Writer, who is one of their own. Each team will be given a packet of puzzles, a map, a list of suspects (with attributes such as name, rank, time in the agency, number of missions completed, etc.), an instruction sheet, prescribed route, and a scoresheet.
Throughout the 90 minute game, teams explore the grounds of the Campus, walking around one mile in search of answers to their puzzles (with larger groups, the game will expand both in time and distance required to walk). Successfully solving a puzzle will give them a clue that will allow them to deduce which of the suspects is the Masked Writer. For instance, if the answer to puzzle 3 is even, the Masked Writer is not from California; if it is odd, the Masked Writer is not from Texas. A correct answer will allow them to eliminate 3 of the 16 suspects. Answering all of the questions correctly will result in the team correctly deducing the Masked Writer’s identity.
What is Scaventour?
It's has the heart of an escape room game, but since it is outdoors it will feel like a treasure hunt, scavenger hunt, Amazing Race, Da Vinci Code, National Treasure, or Geocaching.
