Put your team inside a real case. They read the evidence, argue about the timeline, catch each other's mistakes and name a suspect together — the same things you actually want them doing at work, minus the trust fall.

A case only comes apart when somebody says “that doesn't fit”. Quiet people speak up because they spotted something, not because it's their turn.
Digital case files work over Zoom or Meet with everyone reading the same dossier. Physical evidence boxes suit an offsite, with paper to spread across a table.
Most cases run 60–120 minutes. Long enough to be a real puzzle, short enough for a half-day offsite or a Friday wind-down.
