On March 10, 2016, APJMA held an event called
APC EPIDEMIC IV: Case 316. A survival game event that filled the halls with
screams and thrill. Team players must solve a case by going through every
designated floor or levels where they’ll find clues spread out for them but not
everyone will be able to survive because of limited clues in every levels and
because of zombies awaiting on each floor ready take their life away.
As a marshal in the game I have a lot to say
about it. APC EPIDEMIC IV: Case 316 is my most favourite event from College
Week. An event that I won’t forget because of how much I enjoyed participating.
I enjoy
watching those who chose to act as zombies because even with the heavy make-ups
and costumes they are wearing, they had fun thinking and planning of ways to
scare the team players. It was funny how all the team players try very hard to
find the clues they need even to the point where they get the wrong clues. We
would always wonder where they found those objects like board games or sticks
that aren’t even clues. Seeing how
hard the facilitators and organizers of the event works makes the game run
smoothly and the story of the game more convincing. Maybe there were little
troubles and complaints coming from the players and the ones who are acting out
as zombies but with us marshals, head marshals and facilitators we were still
able to handle it. Being a marshal wasn’t easy as well because we have to
watch over our designated floor. We have to make sure everyone is safe and no
one was breaking the rule but with all those screaming, shouting and running coming
from the players and zombies we really have to focus on who’s going to the next
level or floor. Although, it was tiring I really had fun.
Although it was
great, I hope that next time when they hold another event like this they’ll be
able to make everyone who signed-in participate, attend the meetings and come
on the day of the event on time. I also hope that they’ll be able to explain
the mechanics and flow of the game properly to the marshals and zombies next
time. I would still love to participate on the next EPIDEMIC.
