We delivered a brand-new Crime Scene Investigation event at the Marcliffe Hotel in Aberdeen — an immersive experience built for collaboration and critical thinking.
The Event
Our Crime Scene Investigation event is one of our newest and most talked-about team building experiences. Teams become detective units, tasked with examining physical evidence, analysing forensic data, and interviewing suspects to crack the case.
Why CSI is the Future of Team Building
What makes CSI so effective as a corporate team building activity is how closely it mirrors real workplace dynamics. Teams must:
- Gather and assess information from multiple sources
- Communicate findings clearly across the team
- Make decisions based on incomplete data
- Collaborate under time pressure
- Think critically and challenge assumptions
These are the same skills that make the difference in any corporate environment. If you're interested in the broader benefits of team building, we've written about how it transforms companies. For teams specifically looking to sharpen analytical thinking and information-sharing, CSI is one of the most directly transferable activities we offer.
The Marcliffe Hotel — A Perfect Venue
The Marcliffe Hotel in Aberdeen provided an excellent setting for the CSI event. With its elegant rooms and professional atmosphere, it added an extra layer of authenticity to the detective experience. We also delivered our Big Mix Up Quiz at the Marcliffe for Harbour Energy — it's one of our favourite Aberdeen venues. Looking for the perfect space? Explore our venue finding service.

Book CSI for Your Team
CSI is particularly popular with teams in the energy, legal, and financial sectors — industries where analytical thinking and clear communication under pressure are non-negotiable. The format works equally well as a half-day conference energiser or a standalone development session, and it scales from intimate leadership groups of 10 to company-wide events for hundreds.
If your team thrives on logic and evidence-based decision-making, you might also enjoy Pressurize — our escalating-pressure challenge that reveals how teams communicate when the stakes keep rising. For something lighter that still builds cross-team connections, the Big Mix Up Quiz deliberately mixes people across departments to spark new conversations.
