How it works

Ideally delivered as a surprise, the event starts with the arrest of one of your delegates. The event is designed to be inclusive, with each of 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 of 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 it 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.
