Step into the role of a crime scene investigator in this immersive, high-energy forensic workshop. Analyze evidence from the "Case of the Murdered Mayor" to identify a primary suspect from six alleged perpetrators. Participate in hands-on stations in fingerprint analysis, synthetic blood typing, and forensic entomology (using insect evidence to estimate time of death), then compare the findings with photo-based hair and tire track evidence. Review a police log to confirm or eliminate suspects and present a final, evidence-backed conclusion - just like real investigators.
