“The Grand Clue” has been solved! Recently, Grand Dynamics facilitated a Mob-Style Murder Mystery event. The event took place at the Soho Grand in New York City and consisted of 37 marketing representatives from a healthcare company and a world leader in diabetes research and care, Novo Nordisk.
Teams, consisting of six representatives, were provided with character description cards and motives for all seven “suspects.”It was the teams’ job to find out which “suspect “was the killer, where the murder took place in and what weapon was used.
Teams participated in three activities: Crime Scene Crossing, Mysterious Communication and Punch Out - each delivered in investigation style challenge. Once each activity was solved, teams received clues about the murder. Although all teams competed against each other in the activities, they had to come together in the end to solve the murder mystery. Competitive – yet collaborative… sound familiar???
As teams solved challenges and gathered clues participants gathered, mixed and mingled to find out more information at the Investigation Headquarters. After multiple rounds of challenges and information sharing, the teams came to a few conclusions…. Where it took place and what weapon was used… however, there was only one thing missing… the MURDERER! The great Will Leggett, when asked by a participant… how do we solve the murder? Well… what does your organization have to do to be successful? “We all have to work together and share information!” Exactly… a few minutes later the Head Investigators rallied together to present their final conclusions. Find out how your organization can solve the Grand Clue through information sharing and teamwork… and have a great time in the process!! Great work Willie, for leading this program and to the Grand Dynamics team for another innovative program design and delivery!
