The Balotti File: When the team becomes a team of investigators
Online murder mystery team event with real suspense
The Balotti File is an online murder mystery team event in which teams, acting as special investigators, solve a complex murder case whilst experiencing teamwork, communication and time management under pressure. The case is nothing short of spectacular. A well-known professional footballer was found shot dead in the middle of a golf course. It soon becomes clear that he was involved in a web of intricate schemes. Allegations of bribery, assault and dark secrets turn the case into a genuine conspiracy. Now it’s up to the team to bring the truth to light.
Examining evidence, vetting suspects, solving the case
Participants have access only to the documents and records from the previous investigation, as well as international police databases. These can be used to check suspects and look up vehicle registration numbers. Various documents, pieces of evidence and videos must be examined and analysed. Who had a motive? Who had the opportunity? Who has an alibi? All the information is there. But can the teams unravel the mystery?
Time pressure and optimal division of tasks
The budget – and therefore the time available for the investigation – is very limited. The teams must therefore allocate the work as effectively as possible. Each person becomes an expert in a specific field. Information must be shared amongst team members and decisions made collectively. As a result, the online crime mystery team event fosters precisely the skills that are required in everyday working life. Structured working under time pressure, clear communication and effective collaboration are key to success or failure.
Easily accessible from a home office
To take part in *The Balotti File*, each person simply needs a laptop, a video conferencing tool and a web browser. This gives everyone access to the investigation database and the evidence, and allows them to consult with other team members at any time. As a result, the online murder mystery team event can be carried out without any problems from a home office or from various locations around the world.
