Helsinki, a charming city at day, a flaring war zone of criminals at night. Counterfeits are spreading, smuggling is rampant and stakes are running high. Blood flows in the streets thicker than water until Fiores and Moores define the ruler of the streets once and for all.
The Fall Tournament 2023 of the Helsinki University’s Society of Human hunters: Blood is thicker than water will be played 2.10.-3.11. Anyone with a healthy sense of humour and a playful mind, who mainly resides in the capital region during the game, is welcome to participate.

Päiväpeleissä pelaajat kokeilevat rennosti salamurhaamista erilaisin asein kevyillä säännöillä. Salamurharingissä osallistujat taas jaetaan murharinkeihin, joissa jokainen on sekä saalistaja että kohde. Peli on käynnissä vuorokauden ympäri, mutta pelaajat voivat halutessaan toivoa joitakin tiloja tai ajankohtia rauhoitetuiksi. Tavallisin ase on vesi- tai vaahtotikkapistooli, mutta tyylipisteitä havitteleva murhaaja operoi mieluummin veitsellä, pommilla, myrkyllä tai vaikkapa tappavalla käärmeellä.
The enrollment is open until 1.10. via Google Forms. 15 HUSH overall badges are given away at random to the enrolled!
The participation is free of charge. If you do not understand Finnish, please contact the umpires after the enrollment. More information regarding the game will be sent to you after the enrollment period has ended. Meanwhile the umpires will gladly answer any questions: tuomaristo@salamurhaajat.net.
