The two-hour stream ran to a 2-2 tie and ended with a prepared mystery clip built around “I Want It That Way.”

Several members of Alluria, the M.Entertainment virtual talent group, celebrated its 2.5th anniversary on Wednesday with a two-hour stream on the channel of Nyrfier, titled “Who Is the Killer Hiding in the Dark.” The program was a party game in which participants wrote or drew answers and tried to land on the same idea, framed with a murder-mystery joke: nobody knew who the culprit was.

The opening was spent on setup. Participants sorted out the size of a stream window and its volume level, then introduced themselves in turn. One said he had always wanted to play the villain and happily owned up to being the culprit. Another joked that an AI image tool had shrunk a member’s listed height of 177 centimeters by nearly 10 centimeters on the stream’s cover art, which had been put together at 4 a.m.

The game itself ran as a series of cases. One round turned on a basketball term for a shot that touches nothing, which prompted a lively debate over what else players call it. A drawing round paired a penguin character with a cola brand, and participants admitted that the only link between the two was a shared sound. Late in the evening the score stood at 2-2, and the participants moved to a deciding match point, choosing “zoo” as the topic before a final answer drew a long fit of laughter.

The stream closed with a short video prepared for the anniversary, in which numbered characters each sang a line of “I Want It That Way” in a murder-mystery setting. Participants said it ran about six minutes but took a week or two to make. One joked about leaving the country right away to escape viewers’ anger over the plot, wished everyone a happy 2.5th anniversary, and said the group was heading off to watch a cover song it had chosen for the occasion.

Chat spent the final minutes filling the stream with anniversary wishes and thanks.
