Hostile Makeover

Last night we had the first "Murder Mystery" for this term in the Library. This one was for the Fashion Design Students and was given the title "Hostile Makeover." The idea behind the evening is to introduce the students to various concepts of the library while they search for clues as to whodunnit. It was very successful in providing students with both library & information as well as teamworking skills.
The evening began with the class registering and being divided into teams. In the picture on the left you can see myself & Fiona with the students. We entered all of their names into a draw barrel for prizes at the end of the evening (the winning team also all got HMV gift vouchers). The students then went to the refreshment table where they mingled until they heard the scream - an up until now hidden talent of one of the instructors!
Following the scream they moved towards the silent area where they found a body (top right) and a number of suspicious looking characters. If you think Fiona looks a bit flamboyantly dressed for the library it's in actual fact her alter-ego "Babs Bling," accessories instructor. In the 2nd picture on the left you can see Wendy, Fiona & myself rehearsing lines - well they are, I appear to be doing my hair!
After the scene was set the students set off and followed clues through a darkened book collection (flashlights were provided) until they finally discovered it was Babs Bling, in the library, with a poison dart!!!
