Upcoming Events

Thu, 14 November: Murder Mystery Game


Join us for a murder mystery game this month.

We will meet on 14 November at 5:15 p.m. at the Student Service Center, located at Sandstraße 16-18, 57072 Siegen. While we spend the evening trying to uncover who killed Werner Von Black in his sleeping compartment on the luxurious Disorientated Express, we would like to host a potluck dinner. This means that each participant brings a dish, creating a buffet where everyone can help themselves. To prepare for the evening we will send you your character profile and a more detailed description of the game. We kindly ask you to read through them before the event. We will then discuss everything else the evening itself. Moreover, you are more than welcome to dress up as your character in the 1930s style of the murder mystery game.
