Put the names to proper use: a mystery worth competing in

Team names are only as fun as the competition they're attached to — and a five-round quiz gives them one evening to live. If you want a competition that runs all December, Doorly for Teams is a 24-day murder mystery advent calendar: the whole company opens a daily door in the story of Murder at Mistletoe Manor, teams and rival theories form in Slack, accusations go in before Christmas Eve, and the winning detective is crowned at your party.

It's the ideal home for The Mince Spies: a month of clues to argue about, a leaderboard moment at the end, zero organising in between. One link, any device, priced by team size.
