Bring your team together in a fun, high-energy environment designed to strengthen collaboration and build the professional skills that carry over into everyday work.

Solve a murder mystery in a timed virtual escape room. As detective trainees, your team must examine evidence and clues, communicate and coordinate to crack the case before time runs out.

Skills You Will Develop:

Teamwork and collaboration
- Engage in meaningful collaborative problem-solving that builds trust, rapport, and a genuine sense of unity across your team. Strengthen existing working relationships and create new ones as everyone pulls toward a shared goal.
- Tackle complex, multi-layered puzzles and tasks together, discovering how shared effort consistently produces results that no individual could achieve on their own.
- Build a team culture where every contribution is recognized, valued, and celebrated.
Time management
- Feel the productive pressure of a ticking clock and practice making smart, confident decisions quickly about task prioritization and team resource allocation.
- Learn to work efficiently under real constraints, deploying each team member's strengths exactly where they will have the greatest impact on the group's performance.
Giving and receiving feedback
- Each Skills Challenge event builds in structured time for teams to reflect together on what went well, what could have gone differently, and what they would do better next time.
- Develop the habit of sharing feedback with empathy and receiving it with openness, building a culture of continuous growth and honest communication across the team.

How It Works:

Your facilitator opens the event with a high-energy welcome and thorough briefing on the rules and objectives.
Teams receive evidence in the form of character profiles, virtual maps, audio clips, and video segments, and work through interactive mini-games to uncover additional clues that help crack the case.
Larger groups are divided into breakout teams while maintaining regular opportunities for whole-group interaction throughout the event.
