What Can I Expect

On a CSI Experience Day, you become the crime scene investigating officers. Learn how the experts really do it and solve a crime for yourself on these fascinating half and full-day CSI and Forensics experiences. 

Through your own investigation and listening to real case studies, you will be guided through the complexities of crime solving, dispelling some myths along the way. You'll soon see there's a more that goes on behind the scenes than your favourite TV crime show may suggest.

These experiences are based on true crime scenarios and are hosted by professionals including crime scene investigators (both retired and serving), senior investigating officers, crash investigators, forensic scientists and major crime detectives. In essence, it's about as real as it gets.

You and your fellow budding CSI investigators will meet for a briefing at the 'crime centre'. The first section of your experience will focus on getting to grips with legitimate forensic techniques used by forensics and investigating officer teams.

From DNA swab collection and blood tests, to lifting fingerprints and correctly collecting crime scene photographs, you'll be shown just how it's done before getting to use your very own forensics kit.

Just as you think you're ready for action, you'll be presented with an urgent scenario, which will require your immediate attention. Time to attend your assigned scene and use your new-found skills to find out what has happened.

Secure the crime scene with that 'do not cross the line' yellow tape, don your crime scene suit and pop on your overshoes. There's sure to be a whole load of evidence that'll help unravel the crime, so get to work and be careful not to contaminate any evidence!

But wait. There's more…

It's not only you who has responded to a crime. Multiple scenes appear to be linked. Communicate with all the teams on the ground and don't forget to radio in to control for lab results and logistics. The whole process is guaranteed to feel real, right down to the debrief at the end of the session, where you put forward your theories on the crime.

The 'Ultimate' voucher that we offer, combines the CSI experience with a 'Digging Deeper into Forensics' session. This is where you'll really get into the nitty gritty of forensic science, from how blood spatter marks help you work out how the victim was injured, to anatomical indications of the crime weapon used to deal that fatal blow.

If you love shows like Silent Witness, Death in Paradise and even grumpy old Vera, you will be totally enthralled by these one-of-a-kind CSI experience days.
