Developing the structure, the 1st user test, concept of the demonstration

First step was to create a main core of the project, a logical puzzle of a crime story that could be solved by calculations. The story was tested on hogeschool and university students and adjusted several times until we have reached the goal. The goal is that the puzzle should not be too obvious but still students on would make a good decision on who is the murderer. 
When we reached this point we have created additional evidences. These should not have any influence on the choice of the solution but just to confuse the participants.
In the beginning of the installation, the core of the project would be given to participants and they would need to decide who is the killer. After that the given information would grove and it would be harder to chose the right suspect. 
During the installation, the instruction would be given by an audio guide from the wireless headphones and the choices would need to be made twice (in the beginning, after the core information is given) and in the end (when there should be the state of information overload) of who from 2 suspects is the killer (by a chosen device, that is not decided on yet). 
The evidence will be given by a phone recording of one of the suspect, photos of the crime scene, video recordings of the witnesses, personal belongings, autopsy, testament, alibis of suspects.
The participants would need to calculate and would need a note book, in the end of audio guide and after the final choice, they would be asked to stick their notes on the wall. After 2 weeks there should be a nice collection of information.
