Spot familiar crime drama moments as you watch: a suspect changes their story, a forensic result arrives or an old case becomes relevant. Tick the clues you see and aim for a line.
How to run this activity
Choose a suitable event, film or licensed music playlist in advance; tick only cues actually observed or heard. Do not use copyrighted film stills, lyrics, artwork or branded franchise logos as official RoomZing template content. Provide accessible alternatives to sound-only cues.
Facilitator guidance
Preview your chosen programme and check how often the board’s cues occur. Aim for a single line of five rather than a full card, making sure a win is realistically achievable. Replace unrealistic cues and offer substitutes for any that are unlikely to appear.
Safety and inclusion
Use inclusive language and do not pressure players to disclose private information. Check that the programme’s content is suitable for your group and that you have permission or the appropriate licence to use any media. Keep prompts and visuals original; do not use franchise logos, protected artwork, film stills or reproduced lyrics.
