How Crime Scene Investigation Works

What are the rules of CSI?

Ideally delivered as a surprise, this themed event starts with the arrest of one of your delegates. The event is designed to be inclusive, with each of the activities being brief, fun and can be completed to any standard without their output adversely affecting the overall result. There is an equal blend of all-inclusive activities where all teams compete at the same time and those completed individually within the team.

Like a real-life dynamic incident room, there are options, depended on weather, your chosen venue and preference. Such as including drug testing, an area search, forensic photography, ballistic analysis and with some prior planning, to embed any messages or learnings of company’s core values or own bespoke content.

 The whole event is run against a backdrop of humour, tall tales of real life crime deploying and genuine methods and equipment such as fingerprinting, photo-fits and the use of two way radios.

The event concludes with a whole team collaboration presenting their findings and interpretation of the crime scene and the screening of all their photo and video output, including photo-fits and TV appeal videos.

Who is CSI for?

CSI offers a positive and light-hearted team building session suitable for company away days, or team/department activities. CSI focuses on celebrating wins and achievement rather than highlighting omission, failings and training needs or gaps in delegates’ understanding or knowledge.

Suitable in most venues, with an emphasis on choosing the right setting. Re-create the intrigue of a classic crime mystery in a Castle or Country House.

The skills developed include those of communication, time management, human resource deployment, humour, positivity, questioning, adaptability, attention to appropriate detail, solution orientation, taking on new ideas, integrity, active listening and observation, leadership, organisation, creativity and lateral thought.

How long does CSI last?

CSI is flexible dependent on your itinerary, however usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours.

Your team on the night for installation were on time, super efficient and gave clear guidance on usage of the games and when I called to say we’d finished early – returned quickly and dismantled with the same efficiency.

Thanks so much for all your help! The client was very happy. The planning stages were smooth and Rhys and the onsite team were wonderful too. We would recommend! Thank you

Conference Contacts

Very well organised in the lead up and on the day of the event. Clear communication throughout! The team delivered a fantastic Highland Games event on the day that everyone enjoyed. Thanks to Mike, Rhys and the team!

TotalEnergies

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Lake District. Jenny & Rhys are extremely easy to work with and made both our Wednesday evening boat cruise and Thursday team building events, evening meal and band fun and enjoyable for all who attended. We would definitely use them again.Thank you Maximillion.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at our Teambuilding afternoon hosted by Maximillion Events at our Ayrshire premises. This is now the 3rd time we have used their services and will definitely be looking to use them again next year. Such a lovely and professional group of people to deal with!! We had various games with a bespoke package set up for a group of staff members with varying degree of mobility. We did carpet curling (indoors), giant jenga, connect 4, darts, air hockey to name but a few all being done outside near to our foodhall and “refreshments” area. It was perfect, everyone had a blast and the Maximillion team were a joy to work with. Thorough, professional, safety conscious and lots of fun. They looked to enjoy themselves watching us and our very competitive natures shine through. Thank you again to all at Maximillion – you made our day that extra special.

Working with Maximillion has been an absolute pleasure and a transformative experience for our organisation. Over the course of our 5-year collaboration they have expertly delivered a range of online and in-person events for us, including large-scale conferences and stand builds, internal staff gatherings, and engaging team away days. Their attention to detail, creativity, and seamless execution were evident in every event they organised for us. Whether managing the logistics of a high-profile conference or crafting memorable team-building experiences during away days, their professionalism and dedication shone through.

The Lego Serious play event was a great hit with all of our Scotframe participants. Such a great way to get everyone involved and really work as a team.

Scotframe

Maximillion provided our group with an incredible Scotland experience. We were in town from America for a small wedding at Dundas Castle. Our group RAVED about the events hosted by Maximillion. They said it made them feel (in a short visit) like they had the opportunity to get a real taste of Scottish culture. The planning, implementation and follow-up with the entire staff was seamless and easy. It was an exceptional experience from start to finish. I can’t think of one thing you could have done better for our group. Thank you so much for everything!

Bonnie Periano

Just a note to say thanks for all your help with the Yamaha event last week. It went very well, and the client was very happy. I know she was a bit worried just because of experiences at other venues around the world where things have not gone according to plan. So for us to arrive and see it all set and ready to roll, put her mind at rest.

Spectra

Working with Maxmillion events for the Traitor’s themed evening at Prestonfield House was a great experience. Jenny and her team were a delight to work with, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to plan immersive events.
