Experts report a sudden deterioration after apparently defensible clinical decisions. Was it progression, interaction, or sequence error?

WAKE UP DEAD MAN
A SHERLOCK-GRADE PHARMACOLOGY MYSTERY
The biggest mystery segment of the year. 7 documents. 2 rounds. 1 fatal timeline. Patient X is deceased, and only one sequence reveals the first mistake.
START POINT
Asad Aslam Auditorium (mandatory de-briefing)
ROUND 1
Hunt all 7 classified documents with one clue card
ROUND 2
Top 3 teams only. Decision-making showdown.
OFFICIAL FORMAT
Two Rounds. Zero Mercy for Weak Logic.
The hunt starts with movement and ends with reasoning. Round 1 rewards speed and discipline. Round 2 rewards causality intelligence.
Round 1: Hunting Clues
Fast, chaotic, map-based chase with clinical documents.
• Starting point: Asad Aslam Auditorium.
• Mandatory de-briefing before hunt begins.
• Every team receives one clue card with clues to all 7 documents.
• Each team may bring one eligible mentor only.
• Teams can chase clues in any order they choose.
• First 3 teams to reach RENDEZVOUS with complete set qualify.
• All other teams are eliminated, even with complete clues.
Round 2: Decision-Making
Finalist-only reasoning round. No guessing, only causality.
• Only 3 qualified teams compete.
• Teams answer exactly 2 key questions.
• AI is forbidden. Any AI use is disqualification.
• Judges challenge logic with one follow-up defense question.
• This round decides the winner of WAKE UP DEAD MAN.
ROUND 2: REQUIRED ANSWERS
Q1
What is the single most probable sequence of events across the seven documents?
Q2
Which one decision, if undone, prevents all subsequent complications?
Amendment for gameplay clarity: Round 1 uses clue-hunt mechanics, but the winner is still decided by Round 2 reasoning quality, not just running speed.
MISSION RULEBOOK
Strict Instructions. Strict Enforcement.
WAKE UP DEAD MAN is designed to be fun and fierce, but rule discipline is non-negotiable.
ROUND 1 OPERATIONS
Start Point + Clue Protocol
• Starting Point: Asad Aslam Auditorium
• De-briefing is mandatory before launch
• Each team gets one clue card with all clue prompts for all 7 documents
• Teams may pursue clues in any order
• First 3 complete teams at RENDEZVOUS advance, all others eliminated
MENTOR PROTOCOL
One Mentor Per Team
• Each team can bring exactly 1 mentor.
• Mentor eligibility: Final Year MBBS, House Officer, or PGR level.
• Mentors cannot be Assistant Professors, Associate Professors, or Professors.
• Mentors can guide thought process but cannot physically execute tasks for teams.
SABOTAGE PLAYBOOK
Allowed Strategic Sabotage
• Misdirect with words only (non-offensive bluffing and strategic decoys).
• Psychological pressure through confidence games, fake certainty, and mind games.
• Rapid clue-routing and time pressure tactics that do not block physical movement.
• Information framing tactics that stay within respectful conduct limits.
HARD RED LINES
Instant Elimination Triggers
• No touching or hiding another team's materials, clue cards, or documents.
• No physical obstruction, crowding, pushing, or route blocking.
• No abuse, harassment, intimidation, slurs, or personal attacks.
• No tampering with event stations, officials, or de-brief process.
• No AI tools, AI chat, or AI-generated assistance at any stage.
GLOBAL ENFORCEMENT RULES
• This game runs on strict rules, strict guidelines, and strict operational instructions.
• Any violation of briefing protocol, route protocol, or conduct protocol can trigger elimination.
• No team will be told in advance what type each document is. You only know there are 7 documents connected to Patient X and his condition across treatment timeline.
• AI is strictly forbidden in both rounds. Any AI-assisted reasoning or prompt-based help is immediate disqualification.
• Sabotage is allowed only within non-offensive, non-harmful, and non-abusive limits.
• Any offensive behavior, personal attack, physical interference, or unsafe conduct is immediate grounds for disqualification.
THE EVIDENCE WALL
Tap Documents. Build the Truth.
You will be given seven different documents, but we do not reveal what type they are in advance. They can be anything tied to Patient X and his condition across the treatment timeline.
OPEN FILE: D1
Classified Document 01
Patient-linked timeline fragment.
PRE-GAME DISCLOSURE
Could be anything tied to Patient X and his condition across treatment timeline.
WHAT STAYS CLASSIFIED
Exact format is undisclosed until teams physically find it.
HOW TO USE IT
Serves as one part of the causality chain and cannot be trusted in isolation.
Never trust one clue in isolation.
THE EVENT PHILOSOPHY
Not a puzzle. A causality trial.
• Ambiguity is intentional.
• Every drug choice is reasonable at the moment it is prescribed.
• Contraindication appears over time, not at first glance.
• Timeline logic beats isolated facts.
• The answer is counterfactual: undo one decision, save the whole case.
Guiding question:
Which single decision, if undone, prevents all subsequent complications?
PARTICIPANT FLOW
How the 2-round flow works
1
Round 1 starts at Asad Aslam Auditorium after mandatory de-briefing.
2
Every team receives one clue card containing all clue prompts for all seven documents.
3
Teams can seek clues in any order and collect all seven documents.
4
Teams then report to the RENDEZVOUS point with the complete set.
5
Only the first three teams at RENDEZVOUS qualify for Round 2.
6
Round 2: Reconstruct the timeline and defend the first mistake logic.
Round 2 judges ask one follow-up only: “Tell me why the other explanation fails.”
INTERROGATION ROOM
Destroy the wrong storyline.
At least two narratives must look smart. Only one survives zero-contradiction scrutiny.
ACTIVE THEORY: A
Narrative A: Disease progression alone caused everything
Why smart teams buy it
The deterioration pattern feels naturally severe and the early symptoms are broad enough to support this.
Verdict
It cannot explain why specific changes track interventions rather than disease momentum.
Confidence is cheap. Coherence is the win.
SCORING LOGIC
Marked like a mystery, not an exam.
Timeline accuracy
40%First mistake identification
40%Narrative defense
20%Speed is irrelevant except as a tie-breaker. AI is strictly forbidden in both rounds. Any AI-assisted response path is immediate disqualification.
OFFICIAL CASE TAGLINE
WAKE UP DEAD MAN is a pharmacology mystery where every prescription is defensible, every clue is incomplete, and only one sequence of decisions explains how the patient fell apart.
This is a signature experience.
Not a gimmick. Not a one-off game. Run well, and it becomes annual legend.
WIN CONDITION
“We were sure it was the second drug... until we realized the labs came before it.”
If participants say this line out loud, the case design is doing exactly what it should.
