So for the Murder Mystery I'm thinking of a theme that has Cicada 3301 and Pentagram killer themes.
● For that, the participants need to be randomly forged into 5 teams like houses we had in school kinda stuff.
● A website that has a secret message(riddle) encoded into it.
● 6-10 different sets of audio, out of which 2-3 will play the message when synchronised.
([Link]
And other things.
● And idk but we can make a reel, that we archive first and repost on the event day, in which we flash through a
lot of QR codes like 30ish, and of which there's 2 false riddles and 1 proper valid riddle.
● We need to provide the players with a file case consisting of previous murders and the suspects.
So the 5 houses will be:
● PESUPD(police department)
● PESIA(intelligence agency)
● PESBI(bureau of investigation)
● the Jokers team(cux both intellects and chapris love joker)
● Free Internet Force(the passionate jobless people, and prolly a friend group, or students) and the FIF uses a
website(the same website that has the riddle but they don't know), basically our version of 4chan.
REEL1:
Scene 1:
is Cicada 3301 introducing like this world remains dark, then tells the Pentagram Killer roams free, it is your job to find
them. And ChatGPT expressed my words as:
Visual: Static screen → slowly fades into a pixelated Cicada 3301 logo
Distorted voiceover, filtered, AI-like:
“The world has been blind… again.
Cicada returns with a challenge.
Unmask the truth.
Find the Pentagram Killer.
The hunt begins. Only the worthy will see the light.”
(fade to black)
Then we give them the first challenge to complete.
Scene 2:
PESUPD, PESIA, PESBI in their individual offices(near the Hornbill by the Quad) in a group meeting addressing the video
that surfaced, and determined to catch the criminal. And dialogs we gotta write on our own
Scene3:
The scene needs a proper build-up: 5-6 friend groups, meet up and then see how cool this is, so then they be like come on
we’ll solve this and get money and fame. Although few of them aren't excited enough.
Scene4:
Joker and team after killing someone bloodily see the video and Joker starts laughing and tells get ready and goes to his
hackers. And then they all march in the dark hall(GJBC BE tunnel) and then reel 1 ends.
REEL2:
A signal goes live at 3:03 AM:(and the clues are dropped)
Scene1:
We show them an officer A solving the audio(wearing headphones and certainly not revealing the real audio), and then
another officer B comes to them and says we shouldn't believe in all these, Pentagram killer retired, died, who knows who
cares.
Scene2:
PESBI,PESIA have a joint briefing, but then the mayor randomly comes into the PESIA office and commands this
Cicada-Pentagram mess to be solved soon (cuz he's frustrated).
Scene3:
We see a small flashback of why Joker wants to find out who the Pentagram killer is, and the reason is a little personal.
And then one of his henchmen calls him to tell another clue is released.
Scene4:
The friend group, start and solving (and like show this scene as a time lapse) and then they take a break and they all get a
little close and we try to portray a main character among them and emphasise on the MC
Scene5: a different dark part of PES.
We see officer A, trying to go home before they realise they are being followed and then they start running and then they
scream.
End of reel2.
Reel3:
Scene 1:
It starts with the dead bodies of “Main Character” and “officer A”, and we see the symbol of the pentagram engraved onto
them. And the friend group is sad and crying but then they take this murder targeted and personal to they solve it, while
the officers are being briefed it enrages them to utilise their full fleet against the murderer.
Scene2: needs completing
Scene3: needs completing
Scene4:
Reveals the most important clue, signifying the suspects are of no use, it is someone we know.
PS: the mayor is the killer is encoded in somewhere in the website, which they figure out during the
event,
■ ADDITIONAL PLOT TWISTS & HIDDEN CLUES (FOR GAME MASTER USE)
1. False Confession by a Government Official
- A PESBI officer confesses in a video/pdf, but background noise matches the Mayor’s press conference.
- Metadata reveals it was staged — implying forced confession.
2. Old Case File Resurfaces
- A 15-year-old murder case (marked with a pentagram) was signed off by the then-Deputy Mayor (now May
- Case was dismissed as "cult suicide".
3. Joker’s Journal Entry
- In Joker’s flashback: a journal entry says:
"He smiled during the eulogy. He shook my hand. But I saw the ring — the same ring."
- Photo in old evidence matches ring worn by the Mayor.
4. Anonymous Tip Mid-Game
- Players receive an encrypted message:
"Stop digging. The killer is among PESIA agents."
- Decrypting reveals:
"The Mayor sent this to throw you off. You’re getting close."
5. The Main Character Was an Undercover Agent
- After MC dies (Reel 3), unlocked file reveals:
"Agent ID 7F-02 — Task: Track the Mayor’s secret dealings."
6. Hidden Pentagram in Mayor’s Portrait
- On the tribute gallery webpage, toggle to dark mode reveals faint pentagram shadow in Mayor's collar.
Final Twist (Optional):
- The Mayor is not just the Pentagram Killer... he is Cicada 3301.
- The entire game was a trap to find out who was smart enough to pose a threat.
