Summer is brilliant – but for businesses, it can also be a little fragmented.

One person’s just returned from two weeks away as somebody else heads off. Parents are juggling the school holidays, diaries don’t quite line up and getting the whole team in the same place at the same time can feel like a challenge in itself.

Then September arrives.

The holidays are over, the kids are back at school and, for many businesses, the team is finally back together again.

So, what better time to reconnect?

Team Building Without the Awkward Team Building

We’ve all experienced – or at least heard about – those corporate team-building activities that are met with a few groans when they appear in the calendar.

At Invitation2Murder, we like to do things differently.

Our corporate murder mystery experiences put your team into the middle of a mystery where they’ll need to communicate, collaborate, investigate and think creatively to piece together the evidence and crack the case.

There are suspects to question, clues to uncover and theories to test – all while your colleagues discover who amongst them has surprisingly impressive detective skills.

It’s team building, but perhaps not as you know it.

Choose a Theme That Suits Your Team

There’s no need for every corporate event to look or feel the same, either.

Invitation2Murder offers a huge variety of themes and plots, so you can choose an experience that fits your team and the kind of event you want to create.

Fancy adding a little glamour? Try a Black Tie or Masquerade and Feasting theme.

Want something with plenty of personality? Explore our Music and Dance, Sports or Dark Comedy murder mysteries.

You can travel back in time with a Period Murder Mystery, opt for something with a local club and village feel, or embrace the season with our Halloween, Christmas or Valentine’s events.

Our plots can span everything from Medieval times right through to the modern day, giving you plenty of scope to create an event your team will actually look forward to.

Which Christmas Mystery Will You Choose?

Fancy keeping things contemporary? The Christmas Card Caper takes place at the annual Christmas party of the Seasons Greetings Card Company. The business might be celebrating its success, but behind all that festive cheer, there’s discontent brewing – and someone could be prepared to kill. Christmas jumpers are very much encouraged.

More Than Just a Fun Afternoon

Of course, there’s a reason murder mysteries work so well for team building.

Solving the case means talking to one another, sharing information, considering different ideas and working towards a common goal.

Those are all useful workplace skills – they just happen to be wrapped up in a few hours of murder, intrigue and laughter.

An Invitation2Murder corporate experience can help encourage communication and creativity while giving colleagues the opportunity to interact away from their usual roles and routines.

And after a summer of different holidays, schedules and workloads, that chance to simply bring everyone back together can be valuable in itself.

Get the Team Back Together This Autumn

September always feels like something of a fresh start.

So, before the end-of-year rush begins, why not use it as an opportunity to get everyone together, have some fun and start the new season as a team?

Whether your colleagues fancy solving a modern-day murder, stepping back in time or dressing for an evening of black-tie mystery, Invitation2Murder can create a corporate team-building experience to suit your business.

Discover our Corporate Team Building Murder Mysteries and start planning your event.

After all, nothing brings a team together quite like working out which one of your suspects is a murderer…
