How are the teams organised?
Your group is split into teams of up to 10. Each team plays in its own breakout room with its own host, who shares the game on screen.
Can teams compete against each other?
Yes. A live leaderboard shows how every team is doing, and teams can also choose to help each other through the shared noticeboard.
What if we get stuck?
Every puzzle has a hint, and your host can nudge you in the right direction. Hints cost a few points, so you can choose whether to take one.
Does everyone need to be in the same place?
No. It works for fully remote teams, people in the office and mixed groups, wherever they are.
Can we do it outside Halloween?
Yes. It's a Halloween theme, but it can be booked at any time of year.
Is it scary?
No. It's spooky in atmosphere, with plenty of dry humour and no jump scares.

Report for Duty
Your team signs in to a secret government department hidden three floors beneath a Whitehall tax office. Lanyards on, biscuits strictly off-limits.
A Case Nobody Else Will Touch
Flickering lights, a lift that stops at a sealed floor, and a man in a brown suit who swears he works in Accounts. Case 13 is yours
Prove You've Got the Gift
Pass the Department’s psychic aptitude test before you’re trusted anywhere near a real haunting.
Hunt Down the Cold Spot
Sweep a haunted office with your EMF meter and watch the needle climb as you close in.
Someone Isn't Telling the Truth
Check the staff’s stories against the security log and catch out the witnesses whose alibis don’t add up.
Uncover a Secret from 1987
Slide a punched card over a dusty old memo until a hidden message appears.
Make Contact
At 3.17 exactly, the planchette starts to move on its own. Can your team work out what the spirit is trying to say?
Race to Close the Case
Every team has its own host, the shared noticeboard lets teams help each other, and the live leaderboard shows who solves the mystery first.
- Induction: pass the Department's entrance tests, including a Zener card challenge and the dreaded "Which form?" flowchart
- Site visit: sweep Marlow House for strange readings and catch out witnesses whose stories don't match the security log
- The archive: decode old memos and piece together what the photocopier has been trying to tell you
- Your desk: each team is given a different Department desk with its own lead to crack
- The séance: make contact through the spirit board, if you remember the safe word
- The final report: file the official form explaining who is haunting the building, when, why and where
Knowledge required
None. The puzzles are designed for complete beginners and mixed teams, and your host is there to help if you get stuck.
What to bring
A pen and paper may help.

Your teacher
VSE AI runs fully hosted online team-building games for teams who work in different places.Every session takes place live online. Your group is split into teams of up to 10, and each team gets its own dedicated host in its own breakout room. The host shares the game on screen and types in the answers, so your colleagues only need to talk, think and argue it out together. There's nothing to download and nothing for the organiser to set up.We design and build our own games, so you won't find them anywhere else:
- Escape games, from a Star Wars-inspired adventure to a rogue office AI
- Mysteries and strategy games, including a Traitors-style castle mystery
- Seasonal favourites for Christmas and Halloween, such as A Christmas Carol: The Scrooge Escape
- AI Skills sessions, which teach practical, responsible use of AI through play
- Wellbeing workshops and feel-good games
