Still Water

The case

At 02:14 one night at the Sondervig wastewater plant, main pump P1 stops. For 21 minutes the level in basin 3 rises dangerously, reaching 91 % of capacity. Nobody is hurt and no wastewater reaches the fjord.

But the backup pump P2 – which should start automatically – never does. Management calls it a technical accident. An anonymous employee asks you to look into it.

Your mission

• Find the deliberate act behind the stop.
• Find out who carried it out.
• Explain why the automatic safety measures did not work – and why.
• 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.
