Teambuilding Capers

Here is a chance for your team to play sleuth and identify a notorious jewel thief, while uncovering the evidence to convict the thief and recovering the missing jewels.

With their Mission Impossible kit in hand, and all the tools needed to be successful, your group will interact with hilarious costumed characters and witnesses, solve clues, gather evidence and recover the missing jewels. The mission culminates with a suspect line-up where the characters are questioned to find out who is actually the criminal at large. That's when the teams go wild, as they get to match up their evidence and findings against those of the thief's and where the criminal is finally apprehended.

After a customized opening replete with confetti cannon and self-destruction of the tape, your teams will have the time of their lives while learning some important lessons in collaboration, leadership, negotiation, creativity strategy and problem solving. They will also gain great appreciation for the skills of their teammates.

This Mission is available as our standard jewel thief caper or it can be customized to solve a crime related to your particular industry.
The opening segment can be our standard Mission Impossible opening or you can choose a customized opening with pictures of your group, company, incentives or products.

Fitness level: Appropriate for all fitness levels and age groups.

Size: For groups from 20-250

Setting: The caper can be set up indoors or outdoors, in a retreat setting, office building, restaurant, popular destination, cruise ship or any other place where your group will be meeting.

Time: This event can range from 2-1/2 hours to a half or full day program

 

Sample Clue
Looking for the answer to the question ' What is the thief's signature drink?' you encounter a barmaid who will not talk to you unless you buy her a certain type of chocolate bar. She opens the candy to eat it and hands you the wrapper, asking you to throw it away. On the inside is the recipe for a drink. Looking through your bar guide in your Mission Kit, you need to match the drink recipe to the listed drinks to find out what the thief drinks.



Characters
The character witnesses are typically played by managers and employees from your company or organization. While we can provide the characters for you, we have found this to be one of the most valuable and beneficial aspects of the teambuilding. The people playing the characters not only have a great time with their roles, but also build stronger manager-employee relationships in the process.

It is a fabulous way to break down barriers, encourage new forms of communication, and change long held perceptions by working and seeing each other in a different light.
