A murder mystery brings your teams together around a case to solve as one. In Beaujolais, near Lyon, Astus Séminaires organizes this life-size game for companies. Indeed, the agency wanted to extend the emotion of this murder mystery team building in Beaujolais beyond the game itself. That’s why it chose to integrate Vocal Shoot into its scenario. As a result, each participant can leave a voice message and take home a unique keepsake. This article therefore explains how this experience truly bonds a team.
Why a murder mystery team building in Beaujolais bonds a team
First, a shared investigation forces everyone to step outside their usual office role. During a murder mystery, managers and employees solve a plot together, with no visible hierarchy. In addition, the format demands listening, observation, and mutual trust. These are precisely the ingredients that strengthen a team day to day. That’s why Astus Séminaires built its scenario around a case to be solved collectively. The game is deliberately full of surprises, so we’ll stay general about its exact unfolding. What matters most is the experience shared together, far from meeting rooms. In Beaujolais, the setting adds to the immersion even further: vineyards, estates, and wide open spaces feed into the scenario. In short, the murder mystery turns a seminar day into a strong shared memory. 
Vocal Shoot, the natural extension of the investigation
Then, Astus Séminaires wanted the investigation’s emotion to carry on beyond the final word. That’s why the agency integrated Vocal Shoot into its murder mystery scenario. In practice, each participant scans a QR code and leaves a voice message. They then share their impressions, a memorable clue, or simply a memory of the evening. No app is needed: everything happens directly in the phone’s browser. In addition, guests can add a selfie, which then becomes a short keepsake video. This video captures both their voice and their face, in the game’s atmosphere. This approach, by the way, echoes what’s already used for other team-building formats with Vocal Shoot. Finally, each message is added to a private gallery, viewable by organizers after the event.
A visual theme designed for the game’s world
In addition, a custom visual theme was created with the Astus team. As a result, the keepsake videos pick up the colors and mood of the investigation, rather than a generic theme. This choice strengthens the consistency between the scenario experienced and the final keepsake taken home. Indeed, the photo, or its absence, fits into this setting specific to the event. Moreover, a custom theme isn’t something you set up alone in a few clicks. It’s built through a direct conversation with the Vocal Shoot team. This customization comes on top of the graphic themes already available on the platform. The result: participants go home with a keepsake that truly reflects their murder mystery.
A simple guest experience, no app required
Furthermore, for HR managers and team leaders, simplicity matters just as much as emotion. That’s why there’s no app to download before, during, or after the investigation. A simple QR code scan is enough to access the event page. Then, the guest records their voice message, up to one minute long, with a single tap. They can then add a selfie, but it’s never mandatory. Even a shy employee can therefore take part using just their voice. Finally, the participant immediately leaves with their keepsake video, ready to download or share. This simplicity makes organizing easier, especially for a works council less familiar with digital tools.
The keepsake that extends the team’s camaraderie
Likewise, after the investigation, the camaraderie born during the game often stays strong. However, it fades quickly once everyone’s back at the office. That’s where the message gallery really comes into its own. Indeed, the organizer finds all the messages in a private, password-protected space. Everyone can then revisit the reactions, the laughter, and the clues shared. This collective memory, moreover, becomes a great starting point for talking about the seminar internally. It can also feed HR communication about team spirit and cohesion. In short, Vocal Shoot turns an investigation evening into a lasting memory for the whole company.
