=Overview=
 
DinoFun World is a typical modest-sized amusement park, sitting on about 215 hectares and hosting thousands of visitors each day. It has a small town feel, but it is well known for its exciting rides and events. 
 
 
In June 2014, the park hosted a weekend tribute to Scott Jones, internationally renowned football (“soccer,” in US terminology) star.  Scott was scheduled to appear in two stage shows each day from Friday, June 6 to Sunday, June 8, 2014, to talk about his life and career.  In addition, a show of memorabilia related to his career was displayed in the park’s Pavilion.
 
 
However, the event did not go as planned. Scott’s weekend was marred by crime and mayhem perpetrated by a poor, misguided and disgruntled figure from Scott’s past.
 
 
=Goals=
 
We were given access to the movement data and in-app communication data over the three days as well as background information and a detailed map of the park. We were tasked to use visual analytics to analyse how people moved and communicated throughout Dino Fun World and attempt to achieve the following:
 
* Identify IDs that stand out for their large volumes of communication
 
* Hypothesize when the vandalism was discovered
 
* Identify communications patterns in the data, characterizing who is communicating with whom, when and where that may assist with the crime investigation
