Escape the Audit. Together.

The team-building module for EU funds compliance teams. Three roles, one file, 45 minutes to agree before the case escalates — ideal for return-to-work events, special occasions and seminars at the location of your choice.

The situation

Compliance training should build the conversation, not just test memory.

Three colleagues working in separate offices, disconnected

Silos slow everything

Beneficiaries, controllers and auditors rarely sit in the same room — so problems stay hidden until it is too late.

Slides do not stick

Lectures on eligibility rules and procurement thresholds are forgotten the moment the session ends.

Hierarchy blocks trust

New hires and veterans rarely talk as equals — yet they need each other when an audit file lands.

How it works

Three roles. One file. One clock.

01

Pod formation

Newcomers and veterans are deliberately mixed. Roles are drawn at random — never by seniority or job title.

02

The room

Three sealed dossiers, four locks, one shared clock. Documents and tests are accessed online — on the participants' mobile phones or on paper. Talking fast is the only way to crack the case before time runs out.

Debrief

Choose your format

A team-building module that fits your event.

Run it before dinner, after official presentations, or as the centrepiece of a return-to-work day. Indoor or outdoor — we bring the kits and the game master to your venue. Every clue can be delivered digitally or on paper.

Icebreaker Pod

1 kit · 60 min

A single pod of 3–6 as a warm-up before a dinner or presentation. Digital dossier or paper backup included.

6-10 kits · 90 min

Up to 40 people in parallel pods — the main team-building act of your away-day. Mobile phones and paper props work side by side.

Bespoke Edition

Custom scenario

Puzzles built around your fund, figures and the theme of your special occasion. Online tests and digital documents tailored to your case.

Large Event

40+ participants

Multiple facilitated tables for conferences, congresses and large away-days. Scalable tech: phones, tablets or printed sheets.

Digital dimension

Documents and tests online, played on phones or paper.

The Compliance Room is built around a digital dossier: clues, compliance tests and lock validations are accessed online. Participants can use their own mobile phones, share a tablet, or fall back on printed sheets — the experience works either way.

  • Mobile-first clues

    QR codes and short links put the dossier in each participant's hand.

  • Online tests

    Eligibility, procurement and audit quizzes are scored automatically.

  • Paper fallback

    Every digital element is also available as a printed prop.

  • No app install

    A standard browser is all participants need.
