Avengers assemb—eh, we meant to say Detectives assemble instead.
Are you and your friends naturally inquisitive individuals who enjoy escape room games? Then we expect you to gather your team of investigators and be ready to apprehend a notorious murderer.
This isn’t your typical outdoor detective adventure; as part of an outdoor mystery game, your team will be taking over Kuala Lumpur in order to arrest a criminal. CluedUpp Games, for those who are unfamiliar, is a digital adventure that has been around for five years and is now a worldwide hit. According to some of the staff members who developed it, it’s almost as if the entire concept was designed for the pandemic.
Given the success of Pokemon Go, the company’s creators sought to create a more inclusive activity. Participants will experience the thrill of an escape room because teams will compete to beat the clock, similar to a scavenger hunt.
So how do you play?
All you’d need is a team ticket, and your squad would be made up of two to six players. One of your team members will need to download the CluedUpp app on the phone in order to crack clues, solve mysteries, and complete challenges.
Because the game is entirely based on the app, your team would be questioning virtual witnesses in order to solve the mystery and save the town.
However, since we are still in the midst of a pandemic, it is critical that we keep a safe distance from the other competing teams. Someone who recently took a challenge mentioned that because it is an outdoor mystery game, there was plenty of room to spread out without getting too close while working through the case which is good.
It’s optional, but the company encourages players to dress up as detectives to add to the thrill of the game, as well as come up with a fantastically smart team name. What makes this a much more enjoyable experience? You can even bring your dog along for the adventure.
If you’re wondering what the awards are, they are as follows: Fastest team, Best fancy dress (detective inspired), Best team picture, Best team name, Best young detective (under 16’s prize), and Best K-9 (dogs prize).
So, do you think you have what it takes to solve the case? Gather your team of detectives and investigate.
