Experience the ultimate team building challenge with The Traitors, an event packed with strategy, suspense, and a dash of festive fun! Teams collaborate on mentally engaging puzzles, tasks, and challenges that test their focus, communication, and problem-solving skills. But there's a twist—hidden among your loyal teammates is a secret saboteur working to derail your efforts.
In this immersive experience, participants compete to collect gold while staying vigilant for signs of betrayal. The event culminates in a dramatic final discussion where players must justify their actions and work together to unmask the Traitor. For a seasonal spin, we can add Christmas-themed puzzles, festive props, and even a holiday-inspired storyline to make this activity perfect for your corporate Christmas party.
Crystal Quest is an immersive and imaginative team building adventure, where teams navigate a series of themed challenges to earn precious crystals.

This high-energy finale sees teams racing against the clock, grabbing golden tickets while avoiding pesky silver ones that can cancel out their hard-earned success.
