False Signal

The case

On Friday 24 April 2026, the Aurora Foundation holds a nationwide charity concert, streamed live. On screen, a QR code invites viewers to donate.

At 20:12 the QR code in the broadcast graphic changes. Viewers think they are giving to the foundation – but the new code leads to a fake payment page. At 20:27 the foundation notices; at 20:30 the graphic is taken off air. The bank has frozen the money, so nothing has been withdrawn.

Everyone on the production blames an unknown hacker. The foundation asks you to find out what really happened.

Your mission

• Find out who changed the donation link, with what access and when.
• Work out who is behind the fake payment page – and whether that is the same person.
• Explain why it was done.
• Back up your accusation with at least four document numbers.

How Game Night works

1. Print the case file (18 documents) and sort it into the START folder and 2 sealed envelopes. The first page tells you how.
2. Investigate at the table. Share out the documents, compare times and statements, and argue it out. Your phone just stays on the table.
3. Open the envelopes when you've cracked each checkpoint. The site checks your answer and gives hints if you get stuck (each costs a point).
4. Make your accusation together: the culprit, three key questions and at least four pieces of evidence. You score up to 20 points – then reveal the full solution.
