I have been going crazy over Mystery Manila
and I was quite surprised that I had a hard time finding friends to drag to
this fun place. Luckily, I saw a post of one of my former colleagues saying that she
will go with her boyfriend. I put my thick face on and asked if I could tag
along. (Yes, third/fifth/seventh wheeling is my hobby.) They agreed and as soon
as we set on a date, it was game on. Woo hoo~
I think we were a bit too excited as we arrive 45 minutes before our schedule. A, being the “cool” one, suggested that we kill some time inside the car as to not look too eager. But after 20 minutes, we decided to go in.

The place
was surprisingly small. I noticed that there are only three rooms and two of
which are for the two stories while one serves as their office. There was also
a chalkboard wall where they write down the top 10 teams with the fastest time
in solving the case. A, M and I thought really hard on what our name should be
and I really want the name “Do Not Erase” with the hope that they will never
erase it. Anywaaaay…
We were
greeted by the friendly staff and asked us where we’re from and offered some
refreshments. (I had to ask if that’s a clue since I was in my detective mode
as soon as I entered. Well, it was just iced tea and water. Nothing more.)
After signing some forms, our game keeper, Watson briefed us. (Hmm… come to think of it, is that his real name?) We had to put all of our stuff inside the lockers provided and all we were allowed to bring inside the room were the pen and paper provided by Mystery Manila. We were also given a few clues before the 60 minute time limit started.
As soon as
we got in, Watson started the countdown and we began to scatter around the small
room and made a mess. The goal here is to find as many clues as possible to be able to solve
the case. You also have to gather all the clues before making an “intelligent”
guess. If you accused the wrong person, the case will remain unsolved but if
you guessed correctly but lack some clues, the gamekeeper will tell you to look
for more clues.
The key here is to be VERY observant. Make sure you check every corner, every page, EVERYTHING. We wasted so much time on other things and missed out some places to check.
And sadly, we didn't get to solve the case. Huhuhu.
I will definitely visit again soon and try the other cases/stories/mysteries!
