How it runs

Print or share. One team packet per team, or the screen version on a call.
Read the opening. The host guide has the words; the clock starts.
Teams race. They split the six exhibits, cross people off and hand in an accusation card.
Reveal and scores. Read the ending, add up the scoreboard, hand out the prize.

Work-safe by design: nobody dies, nothing touches anyone's private life, and every clue is about badges, printers, elevators and coffee. Every case is checked by a builder that proves there is exactly one answer and that every clue is needed: no plot holes, no arguments at the end.

What you get

Team packet (10 pages): the brief, the staff list, six exhibits, accusation cards.
Screen version (12 slides, 16:9): the same case for Zoom, Teams or a meeting-room screen.
Host guide (8 pages): set-up, a team-split table for 8 to 80 people, read-aloud opening and reveal, hint cards, the answer and a scoreboard.
Use it as often as you like inside your company.
