Art Heist: Monet Talks
Participants become NYPD detectives to solve the slashing of a newly unveiled Monet in Manhattan, uncovering a deeper conspiracy beyond simple vandalism. Through interactive teamwork, evidence analysis, and live briefings, they navigate twists and challenges to reveal what really happened.
What Is Art Heist: Monet Talks
Step into the role of an NYPD detective and crack a high-stakes art crime in this immersive, story-driven virtual team experience.
When a newly discovered Monet is unveiled in Manhattan – only to be slashed hours later – your team is called in to investigate. But as the case unfolds, it quickly becomes clear that this is more than a simple act of vandalism.
Working in small teams, participants analyze evidence, review suspect interviews, and connect the dots across a fast-paced series of interactive rounds. With live briefings from your NYPD Art Crimes Captain, real-time developments, and team-based “Detective Exams,” every detail matters as the investigation takes unexpected turns.
Blending collaboration, critical thinking, and cinematic storytelling, Monet Talks delivers a virtual team builder that keeps participants engaged, challenged, and guessing until the final reveal.

Art Heist: Monet Talks Agenda
Intro, Ice Breakers, and Team Formation
The NYPD Art Crimes Captain will greet and banter with your group as you arrive, warm them up with a social mixer and quickly divide them into their teams. The social mixer is designed to give guests a great opportunity to make connections with colleagues they don’t often get a chance to talk to.
Solving the Mystery
The experience includes three rounds of new evidence delivered via a case site with documents, images, and reports, along with live “Boardroom” briefings where the Captain shares real-time updates from a virtual NYPD command center.
At the end of each round, teams complete a “Detective Exam” using their mobile devices. These quizzes test comprehension, attention to detail, and deductive reasoning, with points awarded toward their final standing. The third and final exam challenges teams to solve the case.
Wrap Up, Winners + Conclusion
Teams will return to the main meeting room to review the case together. The event host will reveal “whodunnit,” discuss takeaways and lessons learned, and announce the winner.
