csi: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION

CSI team building events now available everywhere!

[for Frequently Asked Questions please click the FAQ > button below]

Foul play has taken place and the local police department needs your help in solving this crime. Your aptitude for cooperation, innovative problem solving and creativity will be tested in this interactive and entertaining event.

Canadian Outback Adventures has adapted the theme of Crime Scene Investigation [CSI] into an entertaining group format, allowing teams to compete in a creative and exciting activity. With each member proficient in a specific navigational or crime solving skill and using their powers of detection and deduction, teams must work together to navigate their way through a series of crime scenes. Each location is staged as a crime scene where teams must carefully search for clues, preserving and documenting evidence to solve the case. Upon completion, the teams hand in their evidence and receive lab results from the CSI Crime Lab. Their final challenge is to interpret the meaning of the clues and evidence and attempt to solve the mystery: who has committed this shocking crime!

“We loved the CSI activity – it was the highlight of the weekend! It was a great way for our staff to work together as a team and try some different “roles” out. Your team was great – loved the uniforms and the CSI music! We also got to know each other – some of us, for the first time. We’ll definitely pass the word along to anyone looking for a great team building experience. Thanks!"

Following an introduction by your CSI Host, your teams of Crime Scene Investigators will find and collect evidence from various crime scene locations. Blood, fingerprints, skin, documentation, DNA, Polaroids and other evidence is brought to the on-site CSI Crime Lab. The Crime Lab results must then be pieced together by each CSI Team building a case to justify an arrest warrant proving means, motive and opportunity.

The event takes up to 3 hours to complete but we are flexible and will work with you to fit into the group’s schedule. People do not need to know anything about the show to fully enjoy the event.

The CSI Team who correctly identifies the guilty party in the most fun, creative way will be recognized during our medal presentation.

“We've had excellent feedback about our CSI retreat here in Ottawa (and more importantly, no criticisms which is quite a feat here!). The event was well organized and all details were taken care of. Special kudos for the quality of the translated material. We were worried about the quality of the written French but it was very good. In terms of what we liked best, I would say that the theme, the different crime scenes, and the role playing were all very effective. As a group, we benefited from a good opportunity to have fun and get to know each other under different circumstances. In that sense, it was a true team building activity.”

Optional Organizational Development Training:

At Canadian Outback we are able to provide facilitated events that address specific challenges or issues you are experiencing in your workplace. Recognizing that our event may only be one element of a bigger workshop, our facilitators work with you to help maximize your return from the workshops by ensuring the activity is aligned and integrated to achieve your desired outcomes.

Our events not only lend themselves perfectly to professional facilitation, they will also capture the imagination and attention of your staff (who no doubt feel they have “seen it all” when it comes to professional training). These events are modified to maximize the impact our facilitator and the challenges will have with your group.

“The CSI event generated interest and got everyone participating. I think the best thing though was that it was a departure from our usual classroom-based learning. People learnt a lot about what is needed to operate as an effective team. From our point of view it was important to have the facilitator. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I come across, and hope we will be able to use Canadian Outback again in the future.”
