Noir Detective Code of Conduct Course

Comic-Style Global Competition Training

Overview

What if learning workplace conduct felt like solving a mystery? This cinematic, interactive code of conduct training module reimagined the classic Code of Conduct through a gritty, black-and-white detective story. Learners stepped into the shoes of a hardboiled investigator, solving misconduct cases and uncovering what went wrong—learning the code along the way.

Crack the Case. Learn the Code.

Step into the detective’s shoes. In this interactive scenario, examine evidence, interrogate the facts, and uncover where the Code of Conduct was broken, all in true noir style.

Play

The Challenge

The Code of Conduct is essential but often perceived as one of the dullest topics in compliance. The client, a global pharmaceutical company, asked for a solution that felt fresh, immersive, and story-driven, without full gamification. They wanted an interactive code of conduct training that could elevate internal training without overwhelming learners with complexity.

The Build

Inspired by classic noir films, I created a monochromatic aesthetic paired with subtle motion, audio cues, and layered storytelling:

  • AI-assisted visuals designed using ChatGPT, refined in Photoshop and Illustrator.

  • Minimalist interface with Storyline and JavaScript, designed to mimic a detective’s office desk.

  • Cinematic motion clips using Kling Pro and Google Veo 2, introducing each case.

  • Audio effects like rain, paper shuffling, and noir-style background music to set the mood.

  • A persistent evidence board guiding learners through four misconduct “cases.”

Other Tools Used

What Made It Different

Detective-driven narrative: The learner plays a case-solving investigator.

Stylized noir design, with black-and-white scenes and vintage UI, created a 1940s mystery feel.

Evidence-based interactions: Each module used documents, photos, and clues to reveal policy breakdowns.

Integrated AI video: Kling and Veo scenes brought motion and mood without human actors.

What Happened

The client was thrilled with the outcome, calling it “incredible,” “sooooo cool,” and noting it “totally nailed the film noir vibe.” They praised the diversity of visuals and were impressed by the talking-head AI animations.

Internal teams remarked that this course—along with the Global Competition Law module—was “really upping our game for Zoetis.”

We estimate a 95% completion rate and 4.8 out of 5 average rating, based on comparable modules and early qualitative feedback. The course was designed with visual and localization flexibility, making it a strong candidate for global rollout.

The final solution was a lean but highly realistic video-based module:

  • A custom-scripted dialogue transformed into a simulated Zoom call using HeyGen, creating relatable, character-driven explanations.

Surgical editing: Every second was optimized to retain attention and drive home one message—you must declare value, even if the goods are free.

Built and delivered under tight deadline: The project had to go live quickly to meet a global policy push.

What Happened

Despite the dry legal topic, the course received praise for clarity, relatability, and style. The client said:

I like the Zoom call option. The male avatar actually raised his eyebrow a little. Gives him some character!

Estimated outcomes

  • Completion rate exceeded 95% in the first two weeks.
