1. Betrayers
Betrayers is a thrilling team building event with an unexpected twist! Teams compete in action-packed challenges against the clock, like the Cipher Challenge, where they solve puzzles to crack codes on lockboxes, or the Quest for Riches, using an interactive scavenger hunt map to track down hidden treasures. But here’s the catch: someone on each team is secretly working undercover, sabotaging their own team to claim victory for themselves! At the end, teams will try to unmask the betrayers, or they might accuse an innocent teammate, handing the win to the traitors! It’s an exciting, high-energy experience packed with dynamic challenges and a constant edge of suspense. Get in touch today for a free, bespoke proposal!
