WHAT STAYS CLASSIFIED

• Round 1 is a scavenger hunt across campus for 7 documents tied to the patient.
• Each team begins with one randomized clue card.
• Only the first 3 teams to seek all clues and reach the Finish Line qualify.
• Round 2 remains classified and is revealed on spot on event day.

Destroy the wrong storyline.
At least two narratives must look smart. Only one survives zero-contradiction scrutiny.
ACTIVE THEORY: A
[REDACTED — Theory A]
Why smart teams buy it
This theory will sound convincing at first. Most teams will consider it. But the documents will challenge it.

Classified. You will need to discover why this theory fails by analyzing the evidence yourself.
Confidence is cheap. Coherence is the win.

This is a signature experience.
Not a gimmick. Not a one-off game. Run well, and it becomes annual legend.
WIN CONDITION
“We all had theories... but only one team could prove theirs without a single contradiction.”
