Virtual Murder Mystery: Mavericks on the Case

Program Agenda

1. 1

   Your group will be divided into teams of six, with each player stepping into the shoes of a professional detective from the elite “Mavericks” squad. Each character brings a unique skill set to the investigation – from Techy Tina’s data expertise to Walter Hat’s CIA past – adding layers of perspective and strategy to your team’s collaboration.

2. 2

   The case? 53-year-old Mr. Pritchett, a corporate executive, was found dead following a party celebrating his promotion. While the police wrote it off as an accident, several staff members suspect foul play – and the Mavericks are brought in to dig deeper.

3. 3

   Throughout this 90-minute virtual experience, teams will:

   • Examine the crime scene
   • Review suspect interviews and evidence
   • Solve puzzles, riddles, and ciphers to unlock key clues
   • Collaborate across character roles to share intel
   • Reconstruct the timeline and motive behind the crime
4. 4

   Once the investigation wraps, teams reconvene to present their conclusions. Points are awarded for accuracy, insight, and speed, but only one team will close the case and claim victory.
