The Criminal Justice Department at Rutgers University approached us with an exciting request—to create a special, custom-tailored murder mystery party for their students. Naturally, Riddlesbrood was thrilled to oblige, crafting a unique experience that blended entertainment with an educational twist. The event was designed specifically with college students in mind, offering an engaging and interactive way to explore the world of crime-solving. With a theme centered around Sherlock Holmes, the legendary detective made a grand entrance and immediately captivated the audience with his wit, charm, and unparalleled sleuthing skills. To ensure the experience resonated with the students, the mystery incorporated relatable scenarios and challenges that tied into their studies in criminal justice. Participants were invited to join Sherlock in unraveling clues, questioning suspects, and piecing together evidence—all while learning about the deductive reasoning and analytical thinking essential to solving crimes. The event wasn’t just fun; it was a dynamic opportunity for students to apply concepts from their coursework in a creative, hands-on way. 

The atmosphere buzzed with energy as the students eagerly embraced their roles as budding detectives, working together to crack the case. The interactive format encouraged teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving—skills vital to their future careers. By the end of the evening, Sherlock Holmes had not only solved the mystery but also imparted valuable lessons about the art of investigation, all wrapped up in a memorable and entertaining package. That’s what we call learning on the job, murder mystery style!
