A body has been found and there is blood at the scene. With multiple suspects, each with a possible motive and the opportunity, participants will work in teams to determine what really happened. They must carefully analyse the crime scene photos, carry out a blood typing test for each of the suspects and conduct DNA fingerprint tests to see who has been in the crime scene.

Every participant will learn the key scientific concepts and practical skills ready to conduct each forensic test like a professional. But players really need to focus their detective minds. They must determine which evidence is most important and what it actually proves. When one careless mistake can contaminate the evidence and when all may not be what it seems – the wrong suspect may be found guilty. Someone may be about to get away with murder!

Can you solve it?

In the shadowy corners of the Diamond District, a heist unfolds that could rival any cinematic caper. The thieves, with precision and audacity, have executed a plan that leaves even the most seasoned detectives in awe. No threats. No violence. It’s a tale of intrigue and cunning, where every fingerprint and misplaced diamond could be the key to solving the puzzle.

Participants will slip into their Crime Scene Suits before they search for evidence from the crime scene and then trained to be a professional in the art of Powder Fingerprinting. They will need to work out how the thieves got in and out of one of the most secure vaults in the world undetected. To solve it, they will dust, lift and identify latent fingerprints, take ink prints and scrutinise each of the suspects’ backstory.

The chase is on, and the thrill of the hunt will pulse through the veins of those who seek the truth. Will justice catch up, or will the masterminds vanish like a mirage, leaving behind only the sparkle of their daring deed?

The adventure awaits those brave enough to follow the trail.
