Social who-dun-it competition launches in India by Microsoft Research India.

The experiment aims to see how people will interact to solve a puzzle that relies on teamwork and cellphones.

A nationwide social gaming competition that awards 1 Lakh Rupees to the winner.

‘The goal of the contest? To use your mobile phone to crack a fictional mystery case! The winner must discover five clues — Who, What, Where, When and Why – surrounding a mysterious event.

Sound too easy? There’s a catch! Some clues are harder to find than others, and only one clue will be sent to a given phone number. Thus, to win the contest, you will have to work as a team. The more people on your team, the better your chances of gathering all five clues!’
