The Da Vinci Code team building event is unique because the historical artefacts are unique to this event. These works of art have been ingeniously designed and created by a team of professional artists and sculptors. Each one holds secrets and clues that relate to the mystery facing your teams.

The murder trail follows a plot similar to Dan Brown’s best selling novel (with all references to religion and religious sects removed). It’s not necessary to have read the book or seen the film because this event is an experience in itself.

Here’s an overview of how it works…

• Your team are expert code-breakers
• You’ve been called to a murder scene in a museum
• Details of the brutal murder of the museum’s curator are revealed to you
• You hear the last words of the victim on a recording
• These words give you your first clues
• Each team has a unique cryptex (a handheld encryption device)
• The identity of the assassin is hidden in works of art exhibited around the museum
• Your team must plan their own investigation of the museum’s historical artefacts
• The aim is for your team to be first at cracking the code to identify the killer

The teams become united in fascination because they are completely absorbed together in the murder investigation. This is achieved by using genuine works of art which hide genuine secrets. Instead of simply using their imagination teams must work with the reality in front of them.

Working out how the clues fit together requires the input of every member of your team because the clues are hidden in very different ways. Some use word play, others require skilful observation, some require dexterity, and others benefit from attention to detail.

"Very interesting new concept, linked in well with the book, although you didn't have to have read the book to enjoy the event. Extremely well organised and great fun."
"Most memorable for me was the cryptex (I had never seen one and when I read The Da Vinci Code I had a job visualising what it was like). Loved the way it fitted into the chalice."
"I have nothing but praise for the event, the staff and the organisation of the day. The most memorable part was the quality of the "props" and the attention to detail in all aspects of the code. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mind Adrenaline to anyone who wishes to run a team building event."
