Murder in the Vineyard: When the team has to take on the case
Online Murder Mystery Team Event in a Picturesque Wine-Growing Village
‘Murder in the Vineyard’ is an online murder mystery team event in which teams take on the role of specialist investigators to solve a baffling murder case in a wine-growing village, whilst experiencing communication, teamwork and time management under real pressure. The renowned winemaker Robert Esser was found dead in his vineyard. All the evidence suggests that he was shot whilst out on his daily walk. The criminal investigation department in the wine village of Steinbach has reached a dead end. That is why the overwhelmed Chief Inspector, who is due to retire shortly, asks the team for assistance.
Suspects, clues and a database full of evidence
The team is granted unrestricted access to the police database. It contains all the information and evidence gathered so far. Everything must be reviewed and sorted as quickly as possible. Was it the rival from the neighbouring village? The former wine queen? The brother or the daughter? Each member of the team analyses a section of the evidence. They then exchange information and make decisions together. Only through genuine teamwork can the culprit be found.
Time pressure and optimal task allocation
The budget – and therefore the time available for the investigation – is very limited. This means the teams must allocate the work optimally right from the start. Each person specialises in a particular area, thereby becoming an indispensable part of the investigation team. At the same time, the time pressure demands clear communication and rapid decision-making. In this way, the online murder mystery team event trains precisely the skills that are required in day-to-day working life.
Gift option and easy access
To take part, each person simply needs a laptop, a video conferencing tool and a web browser. The event can therefore be held easily from a home office or from various locations worldwide. On request, we can send participants a gift pack in advance, such as a good bottle of wine to match the vineyard setting. This makes the online murder mystery team event an even more personalised experience
