HAVEFUN

WELLNESS LEISURE EVENTS

Last October 27, 2018 was the home stretch for the 30
Metro Pacific Tollways South employees who have actively
attended the first two events of the “Get Fit, Have Fun
Wellness Leisure Events” since April 2018. The third and final
event was held at Mystery Manila, Century City Mall, Makati
City.
What is unique about this final event was that it was focused
on mental challenges through role play. Mystery Manila is an
activity that allows people to try something new and
challenging. The MPT South employees may choose among
several mysteries that transported them to various themed
locations and scenarios:

■ Sinister Sensorium where friends have been held captive
by the psychopathic killer named Enigma. He has taken away
one sense from each of the friends. It could be the sense of
hearing, speaking, or sight. Using their remaining senses, they
must unravel the clues and solve the puzzles found inside the
room within 60 minutes. If they don’t solve the mystery, they
will be left for dead.
■ Pym Particle when harnessed, allows one to manipulate
atomic distances in effect shrinking or expanding objects. The
team must infiltrate the office of the evil Dr. Cross to prevent the
Pym Particle from falling into the wrong hands. The mission may
not be as easy as planned as some rooms are not the size you’d
expect.
■ Debby’s Doll scenario started days after a family moved in to a
secluded house, strange things started to happen. These
occurrences were caused by an old doll which the little sister,
Debby, found inside the house. Because of these paranormal
events, your family decided to move out. Just when you were
about to move out, the evil spirit starts to manifest itself to keep
you from leaving.
■ Virtual Voyage scenario is about volunteers in an experimental
program to test the boundaries of virtual reality. Unfortunately, the
experiment goes wrong and the team are inadvertently trapped in
the virtual world. They must find a way to escape back to reality
within 1 hour or else be trapped in limbo forever.
■ Mutants Mission highlights the fate of the world hangs in the
balance as the all-powerful mutant, Apocalypse, threatens to
destroy it. Professor X has recruited a team of young mutants, to
help in the fight against Apocalypse. However, they must first prove
themselves by unleashing their mutant powers and surviving a test
designed by the Professor inside the Danger Room.
■ Alien Assault is about an ongoing expedition where the team
encountered a distress signal from an old ally ship. When the team
boarded the ship,they found out that the ship is a beacon to an
impending alien assault to the confederate base.They have 60
minutes to destroy the ship’s beacon and find out where the aliens
will be attacking from.
The employees formed six groups of five members each. They were
tasked to discover different clues and objects that will help them solve
the mystery. Two teams were able to successfully escape using their
wits to figure out how to escape in less than 60 minutes.
