<\/a><\/p>\nOn May 30, the Steinm\u00fchle community was out and about in the university town of Marburg, hunting for Mr. X. The well-known board game from the 1980s, \u201cScotland Yard\u2014The Hunt for Mr. X,\u201d came to life, and the students became the game pieces. One group of four students \u201ctransformed\u201d into Mr. X and became the ones being hunted. The other student groups played the detectives.
\nThe Mr. X group was identified by a blue school backpack, which had to be worn in plain sight at all times. The search area was marked on a map of Marburg and could not be left under any circumstances.
\nWith the help of WhatsApp and the photos of Mr. X\u2019s whereabouts posted there at regular intervals, the investigators were often hot on the heels of the hunted, and only a daring leap onto a bus or into a taxi could help Mr. X escape. Over the course of the day, Mr. X\u2019s trademark item (the blue school backpack) changed hands several times, and the hunt for a new Mr. X began anew.
\nTired and exhausted from the frequent up-and-down treks through Marburg\u2019s Upper Town, all the students returned to the Steinm\u00fchle. The buffet that followed and the evening\u2019s conclusion in the boarding school\u2019s tea room rounded out what was an all-around successful day of community. <\/p>\n
