Crime Scene Investigation

Each week brings... A new crime. A new set of suspects. A new case to crack!

Put your detective skills to the test!

Each week, learners open a completely new fictional case file. From mysterious murders and impossible disappearances to daring thefts and sabotage, they'll examine the crime scene, meet the suspects, uncover evidence, check alibis and piece together the timeline before deciding what really happened.

But identifying a suspect isn't enough — can you prove your theory using the evidence?

Cases are designed to get learners thinking, questioning and changing their theories as new evidence is revealed. Along the way, they'll naturally develop observation, logical reasoning, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

There's no role play and no need to know anyone else in the group. Everyone can investigate independently while sharing theories, voting on suspects and joining the wider investigation as much as they feel comfortable.

Learners will develop the ability to:

• Observe carefully and identify important details within a crime scene

• Analyse evidence and decide which information is relevant

• Compare suspect statements and alibis

• Build and check timelines to understand the sequence of events

• Use logical reasoning to connect clues and eliminate possibilities

• Form evidence-based theories rather than relying on guesses

• Question assumptions and reconsider conclusions when new evidence appears

• Spot inconsistencies and contradictions in information

• Develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills

• Explain and justify conclusions using evidence from the case

• Listen to alternative theories and evaluate different viewpoints

• Make independent decisions while contributing to a wider group investigation

🐝 A little note about our first block 🐝

As we’re launching later than planned, this first block is a shorter 3-week block. You’ll only pay for these three lessons, and our usual 6-week blocks will follow. We can’t wait to welcome you!
