Similar to the board game “Scotland Yard”, a Mr. X-Team—the bad guys—escapes through Munich using the public transportation system. The detective teams—the good guys—have to find Mr. X within 2h30 to restore the rule of law. The only hints they have is the position of Mr. X, which they get each 10min.
The rules of the game are:
- There is 1 Mr. X team and 4 to 6 detective teams
- There is (at least) one member per team in a shared chat group
- The play time is 2 to 3h depending on the number of teams
- The detective teams win when they post a photo of Mr. X in the chat group during the play time
- The Mr. X team wins when the detectives don’t find them during the play time
- The play area is the MVG rings 1-3 • All kinds of public transport is allowed, which you can use with a standard MVG ticket – i.e. not their bikes :-P
- It is not allowed to walk between stations
- The max. allowed time at one station is 15min
The Mr. X team:
- Gets colorful scarfs or vests so that the other teams have the chance to see them
- Taking the public transports, Mr. X always has to be in the first wagon
- Has to share their current station each 10min in the chat group – or their last station if they are just between two
- (In case of only 4 detective teams, Mr. X is not allowed to immediately drive back with a train/bus of the same number; in case of this rule, the max. time reduces slightly)
The detective teams
- Are only allowed to communicate using the same chat group as Mr. X
- Must not write wrong stuff
You need:
- A smartphone per team with the most common chat app, mobile data and sufficient battery
- Your student ID, which serves as public transport ticket
