Overview:
Go Mad in the Country is an interactive five-in-one event, combining elements of a murder mystery, treasure hunt, scavenger hunt, photo mission and a 'Famous Five' adventure.

This immensely enjoyable team event is ideal for developing key skills such as communication, teamwork, leadership, delegation and the generation of problem solving ideas. It is also fully inclusive and suitable for all fitness levels so every member of your team can take part. 

10am- Murder briefing
Your group will be divided into teams of up to 8 and whilst enjoying tea and cakes, Detective Inspector Hockney will enter the room to inform you all of some shocking news- there has been a murder!!!!

Details are revealed about the murder victim and suspects, and guests have to take notes and gather as much information as possible from the detective. Each team is given a Polaroid camera to photograph evidence and a folder of clues and top secret documents.

10.15am- Murder and Evidence Hunt
Teams have to crack their way into briefcases full of evidence and will set off on scavenger hunt around the grounds, searching for more clues and compiling evidence, as well as completing a series of photographic challenges to find the murder scene. Teams will take part in the following: 

Operation Safe-Cracker:
Only the best detectives can crack a safe open under pressure. Teams will need to work fast to find the combination and get their hands on the essential evidence inside.

Photographic Challenges: 
Teams will have to have their cameras at the ready to complete a selection of fun photographic challenges that will test their creativity.

Scavenger List:
All good detectives are resourceful, so you will need to be too! Can you collect the two day old newspaper for the vital information, a foreign coin and a magnifying glass? Definitely not as easy as you may think and essential as the DI needs these items before you can examine the body!

The Examination:
If you think you know where the body is, present your evidence to our PC and you'll be allowed to enter the murder scene. Be prepared for a grusome sight- but this is no time to be sheepish, you've only got five minutes to make notes and take photographs. Leave no stone unturned. 

11.00pm- Debrief and Refreshments
Teams will return to the evidence room for a debrief with DI Hockney and refreshments.

11.15pm- The Interrogation
Your evidence gathering and interrogation skills will be tested as you interview a number of the suspects. Armed with the information you've obtained, you'll have to set off around the grounds to find the suspects- members of our team in themed costume. You'll have five minutes to grill each of them and hopefully learn some vital information.

Code Cracking:
Are your team human enigma machines? You'll have a series of mental challenges to complete which will help you decipher how, where, when and why the victim was murdered. 

12.15pm- The Evidence Room:
Teams then visit the evidence room where they'll construct a storyboard of their findings so far.

12.45pm- Lunch

1.45pm: Bribery, Evidence and Corruption
Teams will have the opportunity to win more clues and money by completing a selection of team building tasks. The money can be used bribe the suspects to reveal more evidence or to pay other teams for evidence about the suspects they may not have interviewed- a great interaction and teamwork exercise.

Team building tasks: 

Operation Countdown: 
Test your memories as you attempt to turn over 50 cards laid out face down on the ground in sequence. Only one person can race out to turn over one card at a time, replacing the card face-down unless it fits into the sequence.

Getaway Minefield:
Teams have to successfully negotiate their blindfolded colleagues through a minefield, with the option of using unusual methods to communicate. Is this the escape route the killer is believed to have taken? If so, was it possible and how long would it have taken?

Observation Challenge:
The ability to accurately recall events is an asset to every detective. This general knowledge test will reward teams for correctly identifying historical events.

Operation Spider's Web:
Negotiate your way blindfolded through a web of ropes and string. There'll be plenty of booby traps so it will be up to your teammates to guide you though without getting snared by the spider.

Operation Snake Pit:
You have been stranded on an island and the only way back to safety is across a snake-infested pit. However, you only have the most basic equipment and you cannot lose contact with any of your teammates. Can you make it across without falling into the venomous pit?

Evidence Spill:
You have been sent to a top secret location to transport essential evidence to the testing lab but you have basic equipment to do so. Excellent teamwork and communication are required as well as some serious lateral thinking.

3.15pm- Who Dun It?!!
Each team has to present their findings and unravel the mystery over tea/coffee and cakes. The detective then reveals the real murderer and the true course of events so guests can see just how close they were to cracking the case.

4.00pm- Presentation
Teams will then be scored on the team tasks and whether they solved the murder. Prizes will be awarded to winners. Certificates will be given to all those who solved the case.
