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.

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.

Jenny and her team led a truly fantastic event. Despite our very limited preparation time relative to the scale of the project, Jenny remained completely unphased. She provided exceptional support throughout the process, and I truly believe she was instrumental in helping us achieve such a successful event at The Belfry!

Amie Walton – Chief of Staff

Jenny takes the time to understand our vision and goals for each event and consistently exceeded our expectations through close partnership and honest, transparent communications. Building a partnership that has become an extension of our core in-house team has resulted in innovative ideas, handling challenges with ease, and seamless event delivery from the whole team.

Our guests were delighted with the day of Highland Games, the team of maximilion was fantastic. I will recommend them 100%.

Horizons – TPG Scotland

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

Maximillion ran the Urban Adventure for our teams with the activity run in Edinburgh city centre and the feedback has been nothing but positive. The activity brought teams together from different offices and different business areas and was a great way for everyone to get to know each other in a fun and informal activity.

Nucleus Financial

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the fantastic murder mystery and DJ services the Maximillion team provided at our recent Renewables UK Seminar at Cameron House Hotel. It was an evening filled with excitement and entertainment, and Maximillion played a pivotal role in making it a memorable experience for all of us.

TotalEnergies

Everyone I met was so helpful, reassuring and knowledgeable. The event was run seamlessly and the team made everyone relaxed which encouraged everyone to participate fully. Team building can so often be an uncomfortable day away from the office, but Maximillion just made it so much fun. I had heard good things about you all through the previous work you have done for us but it was great to see that first hand. It was such a pleasure to work with you and we are all already looking forward to the next one!

The Phoenix Group

The general comment today in the office is how amazing the event was and how much fun people had.

University of Edinburgh

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.
