Fun teamwork exercise

Shadow Hotel

Virtual team building that is well-suited for a team or company that works virtually or does not have the opportunity to meet physically. In Shadow Hotel, participants meet in a virtual meeting room where the teams must cooperate and communicate to figure out the right solution. The game is a good opportunity to strengthen unity and relationships with colleagues.

Introduction

Participants gather in our virtual meeting room at an agreed time. Here they meet our instructor, an investigations officer, who asks the participants for their help in solving a murder recently committed at Shadow Hotel.

The police have been on the scene, witnesses have been questioned and various investigations have been carried out. But the police cannot piece the clues and sequence of events together. Unfortunately, due to lack of resources at the moment – you are therefore asked to assist.

After a joint introduction, participants are divided into smaller teams. Each team gains access to the case information and must then work the case together. For each team it’s a race against time to solve the case first. First team to crack it wins.

But beware – nothing is necessarily as it seems…

Besides cooperating on a murder mystery, during the exercise, teams will have the oppotunity to subsequently evaluate their teamwork and communication. These tools can then be re-shaped for use at work and with colleagues. Shadow Hotel is a fun game that sharpens the skills needed to cooperate virtually.

Content

We provide you with a story and continuously release clues throughout the course of the game. An extra feature is our LIVE blog in which new information, updates and clues come to light as breaking news in real time. The game is led from the station HQ by our uniformed officer. The officer introduces you to the case and provides ongoing guidance throughout the investigation.

Everything takes place in our online meeting room and requires no preparation by the participants.

The participants simply need access to a computer with internet access and a webcam.

Possible uses

Shadow Hotel is a fun and entertaining game best suited for teams and businesses that work remotely and need a fun and entertaining break from their everyday life to strengthen their team spirit. It can be used as an alternative teamwork exercise, entertainment for the virtual get-together or a weekday break for those unable to physically meet.

The game is designed for businesses, and the difficulty level is set accordingly.

In Shadow Hotel, the teams compete against each other. Along the way, there are both joint scenes where everyone is gathered at once, and parts during which smaller teams work separately.

A similar game is Flight #CB702, which is structured the same way as Shadow Hotel but instead of investigating a murder case, the participants must solve a highstakes theft case onboard an airliner.

How it works

The course of action in Shadow Hotel:

‍1. We send a link

We send you a link to the virtual meeting room well before we meet. It is easy for everyone to access. We will be ready by the phone if there are any unexpected technical problems.

‍2. Investigating the case

Everyone meets virtually in our meeting room and our officer introduces the case. Separated into minor teams you will work on the case using clues and the many notes made by the police.

‍3. The case is solved

You work together in the race to solve the case first. After investigating the case, we gather everyone again. The case is reviewed and the winning team is selected.

Just a quick note to say a very big thank you for the amazing team build event we had today for Experian. What a well organised event and so much fun! We will be keeping our eyes peeled for Andrea Miller joining our Finance team! :-) Once again, a big thank you - it was so much fun to break away from work tasks for a couple of hours.

Experian

Caroldene

The event was super fun! We spent nearly two hours getting to the bottom of a criminal case – with live actors, clues, notifications and so on. The professionalism and attention to detail provided by the organiser were outstanding, and I highly recommend you look at their offers. I was surprised to find out how much information one can pull from a fun virtual game. Most importantly, it presented me with a unique opportunity to observe the team in a non-work related environment. When you work in remote settings, it’s easy to oversee how critical those situations are and how much you can learn from them.

Thank you so much for an exciting and very professional event! The students thought it was very exciting and they spoke a lot in all of the groups. I was physically rotating between the groups. They made a lot of notes whilst underway. Even several pages in some places! It was really good to see how they worked together. It is in situations like these that you can tell if they have matured and can work together. The student være focused and it worked really well for them. Thank you for your exciting presentation!

I want to thank you and your colleagues for organizing everything and all the hard work you did. I was really worried how everything will go, because it’s a new format for us. But turns out that there was nothing to worry about. Everybody had a lot of fun and I received only positive feedbacks. You are doing a great job connecting people together and helping them to learn how to cooperate with each other. It means a lot for us during these pandemic times. Thank you again! It was nice communicating and spending time with you.

The feedback from the team was excellent! The storyline is good and brings the players outside their day to day issues, which was very good. The feedback from the team was excellent.

I would like to say big thanks to you and your team for giving us the full 2hrs of fun last week. Jonas and Michael were very professional, really fun and great to us. We are aware that it was very early for them too, so thanks everyone that needed to get up so early for us – both front and behind the camera. Because of this success, I would like to share our story to another team so, hopefully, we could use your service again. We did do over all feedback and the team gave 5 stars to this activity. Bravo!! 😊

Thanks so much, the event was a total success! Jake, Jonas and Chris were so enthusiastic and going all out in their roles, so fun! I also think that Jake did such a good job at responding to the comments in the live chat and keeping a really good energy level and interactive atmosphere throughout the game. Keep up the good work, you all added a bit of good fun to our lives in the midst of these slightly depressing and isolated times. Big thanks again to you and the team!
