How to Play
You will play a total of three scenarios. The first scenario is
very obvious; its purpose is to familiarize you with the interface. The second and third scenario are a bit more challenging, so be sure to carefully re-investigate the evidence each time.
Background
Roadeez is a self-driving car startup that develops cutting edge navigation software. Recently, their proprietary software somehow got into the hands of one of their competitors. You are an investigator, and are here to investigate a possible insider attack.
It has also come to your attention that a rumor may have spread that the owner of Roadeez, Michelle, may have already sold Roadeez to a larger company, CarGo. Therefore it is possible for any employee (other than Michelle) to believe that they currently work for CarGo.
The Investigation
You may click between the tabs in this interface as often as you like.
The Notes Tab
This tab collects information for you to reference. It contains:
- The initial facts of the scenario. (Be sure to read these first!)
- The evidence you find during your investigation.
- Potential character motivations you discover (what characters like and dislike).
The Investigate Tab
Use this tab to explore the scenario. You can always click on
people and
computers. Note that:
- Characters' dialog will not change with different scenarios.
- The evidence on computers WILL change for each scenario!
- To back up, use the green arrow in the bottom right corner. (Do NOT use the back button in your browser!)
The Hypothesis Tab
Use this tab to build your hypothesis:
- Add and remove Events to create a sequence that explains the evidence. Some events will appear automatically as you investigate.
- Add Goals that explain characters' actions. Be sure to reference a character's motivations when considering their goals.
- Add Beliefs when you think a character's goals make more sense if the character believes the rumor (that Roadeez has been sold to CarGo).
- Icons will appear for each event indicating whether the action makes sense based on the beliefs and goals you have added for that character.
- Click on an event in the list to display details about it.
- Use the Suggest Events button to automatically fill in suggested events based on what you have entered so far. These are only suggestions; do not assume they are correct.
- Click Finished when you are happy that the current Events, Beliefs, and Goals you have entered are the best explanation for the available evidence.
