🔍 Public Investigation: Live Show
Read the shared setup steps first: Live Show Control.
Public Investigation (Enquête publique) is an immersive improv format where the audience co-creates the investigation. Live Admin keeps the big board in sync: character intros, relationships, reveals, and the Act III guessing game.
🎮 Modes (display)
The sticky bar includes a mode picker. The current mode is what Live View shows.
MyLipaix labels this picker in French (even when you read this page in English). The table below lists the exact UI label plus what it does.
| Label in MyLipaix | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Noir scène | Dark / empty screen |
| Attente | Neutral holding slide |
| Joueurs | Performers’ real names |
| Personnages (Acte I) | Character cards (names + traits from the audience) |
| Choix de la victime (Acte I) | Victim reveal |
| Hologramme victime (Acte II) | Victim hologram beat (if you use it) |
| Suspects & Relations (Acte II) | Suspects + relationship map |
| Révélation du coupable (Acte II) | Culprit reveal |
| Guessing Game (timer) (Acte III) | Countdown + how / where / why |
Practice: Between beats, use Noir scène or Attente so the stage is not competing with dense graphics. You can leave the relationship board up longer when it helps the room follow the story.
🔄 Mode changes and unsaved edits
Switching the display mode sends the current session to the server (including fields you have edited but not yet saved with Sauvegarder les modifications). Plan mode switches if you are mid-edit and do not want partial data published.
📂 Panels (accordion sections)
ℹ️ General info
- Lieu (caméras de surveillance): the location line on the visu.
👤 Players
Players are pre-filled from selections when you open the live. During the show, update:
- Character names and traits as the audience supplies them
- Victim / culprit designations (used by the reveal modes)
🕸️ Relationships
Add and edit who knows whom as the story grows. Invalid or duplicate links are cleaned up when you save.
⏱️ Act III: Guessing game
- Fill in how / where / why clues for the final guessing segment.
- Timer: start, pause, reset, and hide/show answers are wired to quick server patches so the room stays in sync.
- Configure duration before you go live if you need a specific countdown length.
💾 Save and reset
📝 Save
When the Non sauvegardé badge appears, click Sauvegarder les modifications after batches of edits, especially traits, relationships, victim/culprit, location, and clues.
♻️ Reset live
Réinitialiser le live clears story state (clues, victim, culprit, relations, timer fields, location, character names/traits emptied) while keeping the members from the selection. Use only when you intend to wipe the board (e.g. rehearsal restart).
