10 Feb 2023 | Nexus | Total Defence Video Over the past years, we have seen how our way of life can be affected by different forms of threats and challenges – the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia-Ukraine war, ongoing geopolitical tensions, terrorism, natural disasters and climate change. These events, whether near or far, have highlighted the need for us to stay united and be resilient, so as to be ready for any crisis or disruption. In this Total Defence video, we hear from fellow Singaporeans why they think it is important that each of us play our part for Total Defence and see how individuals from all walks of life and local businesses came together to help the community in times of need. As we commemorate Total Defence Day on 15 Feb, let us commit to play our part and put Total Defence into action, so that we can stand strong and be ready as a nation to withstand any threat or challenge. |

Factsheet: Total Defence Murder Mystery Role Play Game ("The Melody of Waves")
BACKGROUND
Created by a pair of university students as part of their submission to the Total Defence Sandbox, the Total Defence Murder Mystery Role Play Game "The Melody of Waves" is an immersive social deduction game involving up to seven players. Fashioned as a murder mystery, it aims to both entertain and educate Singaporeans on the importance of Total Defence and the various evolving security threats we face today.
SYNOPSIS OF THE GAME
"ECOTECH is a research organisation that investigates climate threats and mysteries. One day, a spine-chilling nursery rhyme - "The Melody of Waves" - begins to play within ECOTECH, with lyrics resembling a doomsday prophecy. In the midst of this turmoil, the CEO of ECOTECH arranges an internal meeting with some of the organisation's key stakeholders. As the staff arrives at the conference room, they discover the CEO's dead body."
The game involves role-playing as suspects in a fictional crime scene, collecting evidence, and deducing the murderer. Players will need to find out who is the murderer through discussions and cooperation. One of the participants will play the murderer, and only the murderer can lie.
