Beyond Boundaries Global (Pvt) Ltd., an experiential training company, is gearing up to create a first of its kind experience in Sri Lanka.

The first ever ‘Mystery Room’ game to be held at the Flamingo Bar will challenge 8–20 ‘wannabe detectives’ to use the latest technology and features of the game to figure out clues and solve a mystery in a way that’s never been done before. Facilitating this novel entertainment concept is the company’s Chief Experience Officer Anuruddha Bandara – an innovative entrepreneur, adventurer and trainer, who was among the first to introduce experiential training in Sri Lanka in 2001.

It was designed in collaboration with Game Changer Tomi Astikainen. “Younger urban thrill seekers today want to live through experiences and engage in activities that represent their lifestyle,” said Anuruddha Bandara. “They seek for challenges in life and are passionate about it – they are not spectators, but participants.

‘Mystery Room’ can be summed up as the fulfillment of this trend, which is why we put a unique spin to this ‘Sherlock Holmes-style’ detective game,” he said.

The company’s Game Changer Tomi Astikainen said, “It’s an opportunity to have fun unlike just a dinner or movie. It’s more exciting to be involved in the mystery, instead of just watching it unfold.

“The biggest hook in this game is the deep level of collaboration players have to use in order to succeed in cracking the mystery.

“Once committed, talking to friends or complete strangers is necessary as you work together to beat the clock,” he said.
