The CBS show CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) followed a much more rapid rise to fame with the American public. After just 10 months on the air, it became (and still is) the most watched television show in North America. Arizona Outback Adventures has adapted the theme of CSI into a group scavenger hunt format, allowing teams to compete in an educational and exciting activity.


How it works: The participants first receive their Team Bandanas. Each team member will typically learn one skill (map reading, area landmarks, team lead investigator, crime scene specialist, forensic technician). Once the skill-learning period is complete, the participants will regroup in their respective teams and take 5 minutes to establish an overall course strategy. The teams must navigate to various checkpoints on a map, and then take a picture of each crime scene, including the elements described in their clue sheet. Once the teams regroup to the command post and turn in the collected evidence, they will receive additional clues that will help them in completing their final report and ultimately solve the crime.
