Participation Mysteries:
The Cambridge Solution
This is the one that started it all. Named because it was Harvard Smart, The Cambridge Solution uses several people provided by our clients as the characters. These people speak to everyone else who usually work as teams to try to solve the crime.
The Dartmouth Plan
For smaller groups, the Dartmouth Plan is more of a mix-and-mingle event where everyone is a character. This makes it a great ice-breaking game as it gets everyone talking with everyone else.
The Princeton Permutation
For larger groups, the Princeton Permutation is a version of the Cambridge Solution using speeches by the characters instead or, or in addition to, the characters speaking with everyone.
The Columbia Exposition
To take advantage of some of the amazing venues that our clients bring us to, we can have characters stationed in different locations answering questions to allow the others to explore the venue and enjoy the facility.
The Penn-Ultimate
For extremely large groups that want to have a mix and mingle event with everyone as a character, The Penn-Ultimate has proven to be up to the challenge. Groups of characters try to assess the other groups and then get into the specifics of finding an individual culprit.
The Cornell Conundrum
A little more academic and presentational, teams pick from a selection of suspects to prosecute for the case and make a presentation using a variety of formats in front of the other teams.
