Do you have what it takes to crack the case? Inspired by the hit CBS television series, CSI: The Experience is a new traveling exhibit that lets you analyze forensic evidence and test your investigative skills. The groundbreaking forensic science exhibit highlights the process of scientific inquiry and real investigation techniques used to solve crimes. From DNA and firearms analysis to forensic anthropology and toxicology -- sciences vital to unraveling the mysteries of crime scene investigation -- you're immersed in hands-on science in an exciting multi-media environment with dazzling special effects. Cast members from the series, along with their real-life counterparts, lead you throughout the experience. In "A House Collided," one of three crime scenes in the exhibit, a car has run through the living room window of a house in a quiet suburb. In the driver's seat is a man with his seatbelt on; he is slumped over. The windshield is shattered and the car door is shut. In the living room, there are muddy shoeprints, drops of blood and a stain near a sofa. A pizza box is open with pepperoni pizza spilled on the floor. A beer bottle is by the car door, and a hand print of blood (or is it pizza sauce?) is found on the car hood. Which clues will help you crack the case? Remember the advice from your supervisor, Gil Grissom: Let the evidence speak for itself. CSI: The Experience is currently traveling to science museums across the country. It was developed by the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History with support from CBS Consumer Products, the cast and crew of the television show, the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, and the National Science Foundation.
