Halloween Game Night #VMUIF

It is said that once there was a professor known only as M, who taught at the faculty and had a strange fascination with board games. He believed that through play, one could understand a person better than in a lifetime, so in his final years of work, he devoted himself to creating seven games that could reveal the true nature of a human being: one measured patience, another – lies, others – guilt, fear, envy, and forgiveness, while the seventh was said to show who a person truly is without all of those.
One evening on October 30, just before Halloween, the professor invited his students to take part in an experiment where all seven games were to be tested for the first time. Everything seemed to go according to plan, yet after that night, no one ever saw the students or the professor again. What happened remains unknown – except for one thing: something terrible must have befallen them.
Since then, every year on the eve of Halloween, something changes in the Faculty of Informatics. The air grows heavy, the lights start to flicker, and it feels as though the shadow of that experiment is once again moving through the corridors.

They say it’s still continuing.

The only question is – will you dare to become part of it?

WHEN AND WHERE?
