So…what does it take to solve this thing?

Clueless about what to expect and how to play? Well the Ops Black team is not heartless, We do want you to have a really good time and bring the murderer to justice at the same time! So here’s a helpful list of tips that will get you well on your way.

1. Bring your Player’s Kit (Invitation Card & Manual) Duh. The first will let you in (you really don’t want to piss The Evil Witch off – she might actually strip search you) and the second is crucial to helping you with the game.
2. M&M – Mix & Mingle. As much as you love those friends that you came with, go talk to other spies. Each spy has a unique clue, issued in their Player’s Manual so… you should know what to do… right? If you can’t be separated from your bunch of pals, sure, move as a group, though I must warn you, the walkways are not that wide.
3. Ask questions. Interrogate those suspects. Talk to other spies (especially if it’s a cute gal/guy in a hot costume). It’s not like in CSI or in the movies where the suspects break under pressure or the detective miraculously has a “Eureka” moment and solves the murder.
4. Keep your eyes and ears open. You never know when a clue might be just happening in front of you. Enjoy the show, but pay attention.
5. Bring writing material. If those extra pages in your manual ain’t enought, you might want to bring extra paper and definitely a pen or pencil to write those answers down. Unless you are blessed with photographic memory (or that weird primary school science teacher you had who could remember every mistake you every made), you’d want to be scribbling a fair amount of information down.
6. Play games. Even if some of the challenges are beneath your only-play-complex-strategy-games-that-takes-hours-to-complete self, play to win, cause suspects might think you deserving of privileged information if you beat them.
7. Have FUN!! That’s why you signed up in the first place right? Well…other than the really attractive prizes of course.
