Created as a Swiss military exercise at the turn of the century, Orienteering was originally designed to train soldiers on the skills of navigation. It quickly evolved into a popular cross-country event throughout Europe and North America. In its traditional form, runners equipped with compass and map must navigate their way through a series of control points in a timed course.
The CBS show CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) followed a much more rapid rise to fame with the American public. After just 10 months on the air, it became (and still is) the most watched television show in northern America.
AOA-Adventures has adapted Orienteering and the theme of CSI into a group format, allowing teams to compete in an educational and exciting activity. With each member proficient in a specific navigational or crime solving skill, teams will work together to navigate their way to a series of crime scenes. Each location will be staged as a crime scene where teams must carefully search for clues, plus preserve and photographically document evidence to solve each particular case. Upon completion, the teams will hand in their evidence and receive lab results. Their final challenge will be to interpret the meaning of the clues and evidence, then attempt to solve the mystery: who has committed/masterminded this series of crimes!
The event, by nature, is educational, as teams will enjoy learning about desert flora, fauna, history and forensic science.
