Event Poster
Mock CID is designed to test observation skills, logical deduction, and attention to detail.Participants had to analyze video-based crime stories, study the evidence carefully, and identifythe suspect. Along with finding the culprit, they also had to provide a strong justification to support their reasoning.
Each round of the event introduced different levels of difficulty, making the competition more intense and thought-provoking as it progressed. The first level was relatively simple, with five short crime cases that had clear and direct clues. The primary objective at this stage was to quickly identify the suspect by analyzing the information provided. To add an extra challenge, this round included cipher texts, requiring participants to decode secret messages before proceeding. This feature made the round even more engaging and tested the problem-solving abilities of the teams.
As the participants moved to the second level, the crime cases became more complicated. This round included four cases that required deeper analysis and close observation of subtle inconsistencies. Participants needed to go beyond surface-level clues and look for hidden details within the provided scenarios. This level introduced a more technical element, as teams had to work with IP addresses and digital tracking methods to uncover the truth. The objective was not just to identify the suspect but to present a well-reasoned explanation supported by evidence. This round tested the ability of participants to think critically and use logic effectively while solving cases.
The final level of the event presented the toughest challenge. Only the best-performing teams made it to this stage, where they had to tackle one highly complex and intense case. This case was carefully designed to test every aspect of detective skills, requiring participants to piece together multiple layers of evidence. The clues were scattered, making it difficult to establish direct links between the suspect and the crime. Teams had to analyze every detail meticulously, cross-check different pieces of evidence, and build a strong argument to prove their conclusion. The final round also required participants to present their findings convincingly, explaining how they arrived at their decision and defending their logic against counterarguments.
Throughout the event, some teams faced challenges in solving complex ciphers, while others found it difficult to manage time effectively when analyzing clues. Despite these obstacles, participants displayed determination, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Many teams showed impressive logical thinking, which made the competition even more engaging. The event witnessed many close calls, with teams reaching similar conclusions but differing in their reasoning. Judges and organizers observed the enthusiasm and dedication of the participants, which made the event all the more rewarding.
