- Develop a unique and engaging mystery dinner concept that aligns with the goals of team-building and creates an immersive experience for all participants.

Objective:
- Clearly define the team-building objectives and how the Mystery Dinner will facilitate communication, trust, and collaboration.
Actions:
- Define Team Dynamics:
- Each team will consist of 5-7 participants. Within each team, there will be a balance between active detectives and those observing the clues (mystery solvers). This creates an environment where everyone is involved but has different responsibilities.
- Team Collaboration: Teams will be encouraged to share information, discuss theories, and delegate tasks to different members (e.g., someone can focus on taking notes, someone can focus on interrogation, and others can focus on gathering clues).
- Encourage Effective Communication:
- Teams will need to engage in regular debriefing sessions to piece together information.
- Emphasis will be placed on active listening, as the actors will provide subtle hints and red herrings that participants must sift through.
- Problem Solving and Critical Thinking:
- Each clue will require careful analysis. Participants will need to connect the dots, assess the credibility of different suspects, and solve the puzzle.
- Teams will have time to discuss their findings and formulate theories before making their final accusation.
- Leadership and Time Management:
- Each team should appoint a leader or facilitator to keep track of clues, manage time, and ensure each team member has a role in solving the mystery.
- Teams will be given a set amount of time (approximately 60 minutes) to gather clues and formulate a solution before the final reveal.
