Manor House Murder

Event Description

Sometimes planning a team building event can be murder. But, in this case, murder IS the team building event! The body of an internationally renowned lawyer, Laura Norder, has been found and we need your group’s help examining the evidence and liaising with key suspects and witnesses to piece together the sequence of events!

In this immersive, interactive event, teams use an iPad to complete observational challenges, answer trivia questions, and complete photo and video tasks. For instance, teams have to:

• Reveal who the suspects are, as well as vital information about each one, by first undertaking tasks that tie into the suspects’ backgrounds. For instance, if one of the suspects is a chef, teams may have to name the different cuts of meat or make a quick video as if they’re on a cooking show.
• Scan crime scene evidence in a dossier with their iPad using augmented reality, which allows teams to investigate evidence and note key features about the different rooms in the manor house.
• Uncover witness statements that allow teams to analyze all the information gathered about the suspects and rooms to figure out who committed the murder.
• Use problem-solving skills, powers of observation, and creative thinking to identify the murderer, weapon and motive.

Time is of the essence, as there’s a worry that the murderer may strike again. So, teams must race to make their case before time runs out. Of course, identifying the guilty party is everyone’s goal. But a detective’s salt is not measured by simply naming the murderer – it’s how they got there that matters. That’s why it’s not the first team to identify the murderer that wins. It’s also about how many points teams earned in completing the tasks that got them there! And the team earning the most wins award medals for a job well done.

This is a killer event, guaranteed to have everyone dying from laughter as they work together to solve the mystery!
