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.
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.
