I have wanted to go for the CSI exhibition ever since they started in October. But after putting off and other things taking priority, today we finally made it a point to go because it was the last day.
When we arrived there, the big round banner greeted us. But when we went inside, I realise that due to low light and the fragility of the exhibits, we were not allowed to take any photos. What a pity! :-(
The exhibition started by us being given a form. It was a questionnaire where we had to investigate a crime scene. There were three crime scenes altogether and I had to investigate and get clues from the third crime scene.
I must say, the crime scene is so easy! The clues are so obvious and all the hints are already there! I solved the case within five minutes. Then we decided to go to the other two crime scenes, but there were just as easy and clear cut.
I must say, it was not up to what I expected. To make it more challenging, it would be good to make the crime scenes more challenging and more red herrings thrown into the clues. Okay, maybe it is unfair to everyone else who is not legally trained and have not grown up on Agatha Christie's perfect murders, but still, I think those crime scenes can be a bit more challenging by making others work harder to find clues instead of the clues being right in front of one's faces.
After solving the three crime scenes, we had to key in our analysis and conclusions into the computers on the scene. There was a long queue and we waited around ten minutes for our turns to key in. After that, we went into a small room, where there was "real" crime scene and we had to find out clues all by ourselves. This was a bit better, but still very easy. I got the crime solved in a matter of minutes.
Overall it was a rather interesting experience, although I would prefer it to be more challenging. The crime scenes look so much better on television, but then again, television tends to dramatise matters. Maybe the crime scenes are really that straightforward in real life?
Now I cannot wait to start watching all the CSI series again!
