Modules
Daedalus’ Downfall
Crime Module
Daedalus’ Downfall invites participants to put themselves in the shoes of a crime investigator. Participating teams will
compete against each other to follow a breadcrumb trail and trace it back to the murderer. Furthermore, ciphers, morsels
of evidence, and red herrings will be thrown in along the way, beckoning the teams to delve deeper into the mystery - all
whilst racing against time. The race will end with a courtroom-style finale, where each team will have to debate in favour
of prosecution of the suspect they think is guilty.
Only one team can perfectly fit all the pieces of the puzzle together, and ultimately solve the murder.
