Report

Whodunnit was organised by InkSleuths as an immersive literary murder mystery event aimed at providing a unique and engaging experience for students. The concept combined elements of literature, theatre, and logical reasoning, allowing participants to step into the role of detectives. The venue was transformed into a crime-scene environment using themed décor, lighting, and sound effects, which helped create a suspenseful and intriguing atmosphere from the very beginning.

The event was guided by a narrator who introduced the storyline and managed the overall flow. Ten suspects presented their alibis and maintained their characters throughout the event, adding realism and depth to the narrative. This setup encouraged participants to observe carefully, analyse details, and question every character, making the experience highly immersive.

Participants were divided into teams and took part in multiple rounds that included clue-based challenges, quiz segments, and fun games. These activities promoted teamwork, critical thinking, and effective communication among team members. The structured progression of rounds ensured that excitement and curiosity were sustained, as each stage brought participants closer to solving the mystery.
