Put your Detective skills to the Test!

Escape-type challenges are hotter than ever, and for good reason. The format is one of our favorites for injecting fresh energy into remote teams. Plus friendly competition, costumed characters and challenging brain teasers always make a great combination for virtual team building activities.

The scenario for this event: the year is 1921. You’re an 18-year-old Sherlock Holmes, embarking on your very first investigation – the tragic murder of Lord Harrington in Chapelgate Manor. Your professional Game Masters will introduce each of the characters, then give you access to the murder scene where teams search clues while solving puzzles. Your mission is to work your way through the manor, complete your investigation and identify the murderer.

This is a great chance to get into character as you descend into a virtual mystery world feel free to dust off the old feather boa, or grab that deerstalker hat and pipe so you can see things through the eyes of the master detective himself. So who will be first to name the killer? Just remember – there’s nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.
