CSI Thrillers for Critical Thinkers

If you want to know how good a detective you would make, love solving problems or enjoy live-escape-rooms - these activities could well be perfect for you! They are designed to be fun but highly educational, with specific versions of each workshop for different age ranges. Whether you are in Y6 or Y12, there is a suitable challenge awaiting you.

Four different cases offer extraordinary, exciting and ultra-realistic CSI experiences, combining the best forensic equipment and the latest techniques with truly thrilling storylines.  They are all exciting simulations and a genuine challenge.  You will need to use cutting-edge science techniques and think like a true detective if you are to solve the mysteries.

"This was an amazing opportunity and I’m so glad I was able to take part. It was so exciting."

Let the competitions begin!

All events are delivered as competitive teambuilding games that will allow you to make new friends or work with people you already know.  You will need to apply your best problem solving skills, just like a detective, to uncover twists, turns and revelations in dramatic game-like mysteries based on true cases.

You will learn techniques from real-word forensic science right through to latest DNA fingerprinting practices in order to reach a conclusion that fits the evidence.  Can you find the suspects and uncover their secrets? Can you solve it?

Pit your problem solving skills against other teams in a head-to-head battle.

"It was very fun! The detail involved is super interesting and the competitive aspect made it much more tense (I think that's a good thing). I like that each player has a role and can take part to lead the group. Everyone participated throughout the entire event. The price is good too, considering the time spent throughout. The themes are exciting and varied. I've been to two events. Thank you! "
