Saboteurs Outdoor
Overview
Outdoor Missions of Trust, Strategy & Deception
Paying homage to the hit TV show The Traitors, this immersive outdoor experience throws your group into a world of strategy, suspicion, and high-pressure problem-solving. Working in teams, you’ll take on a variety of purpose-built outdoor challenges designed to test communication, coordination and quick thinking. These missions combine mental agility with light physical elements, encouraging collaboration and leadership.
But there’s one major twist…
Hidden among the group are traitors - silent saboteurs whose role is to subtly disrupt progress, misdirect decisions and quietly hinder success without being detected. Each completed mission adds valuable points to your team. However, a single act of successful sabotage could slow your progress or cost your team dearly. Clear communication, trust and a sharp eye for deception will be vital if you are to succeed. Designed for outdoor spaces at hotels and venues across the UK, this event is engaging, inclusive and focuses far more on teamwork and strategy than physical strength.
About
About the Event Format
This event works best with an indoor space located close to the outdoor activity area. The room is used for a dramatic briefing from our Event Manager, with the rules being explained and the saboteurs secretly selected. Teams will head out into the activity area, where they will rotate through a series of carefully constructed missions. But beware - saboteurs may subtly steer the team off course, encourage the wrong tactics or create moments of doubt within the group.
At intervals, teams will gather indoors for the all-important round table. Here, you will question performance, analyse behaviour, and vote to identify a saboteur. Did they genuinely make a mistake… or cleverly sabotage from within? As the final mission concludes, identities are revealed. Will the faithful have protected the prize fund? Or will the saboteurs have successfully deceived everyone? Medals and bragging rights await those who navigated the strategy, suspicion and teamwork required to emerge victorious - but only trust, sharp thinking and true collaboration will secure the win.

About
A Brilliantly Engaging Team Experience
Saboteurs is ideal for teams looking for a fun, fast-moving, and thought-provoking challenge. It encourages communication, builds trust, and reveals how teams operate under pressure. Expect laughter, tension, strategy… and perhaps a little betrayal along the way.
How it works
How does Saboteurs Outdoor work?
Saboteurs Outdoor is a Traitors-style team building event for 8 to 250 people, where teams tackle outdoor challenges while secret traitors try to sabotage them from within. It lasts 1 to 3 hours. Here's how it runs.
-
The secret selection
As the event begins, the traitors are silently selected. Their mission is to sabotage the faithful, build alliances and stay undetected.
-
Indoor briefing
Teams use the briefing to read reactions, plan their strategy, identify strengths and decide who they can trust.
-
Outdoor challenges
Teams head outside for dynamic activities that test problem solving, communication and teamwork. Points are earned through success and lost through deceit.
-
The Round Table
Between activities, teams return indoors to their Round Table to question loyalties and expose the saboteurs.
-
Crown the winners
Points mean prizes, and the team that best combines skill, intuition and teamwork wins medals.

FAQs
Saboteurs Outdoor: Frequently Asked Questions
Teams tackle a series of outdoor missions involving strategy, communication and problem-solving. The twist is that hidden saboteurs are quietly trying to disrupt decisions and reduce the team's chances of success without being discovered.
The experience draws on the atmosphere of deception, suspicion and shifting trust made popular by programmes such as The Traitors. However, it is a purpose-built corporate team-building activity with its own challenges, scoring and event structure.
Following the opening briefing, selected participants are secretly assigned the role of saboteur. Their task is to create doubt or misdirect the group subtly, while the rest of the team tries to complete missions and identify who cannot be trusted.
The activity usually runs for two to three hours. It works well as the central feature of an away day or as an energetic afternoon following a company meeting.
Saboteurs Outdoor can accommodate groups of approximately 8 to 250 people. Participants are divided into manageable teams so that everyone can influence decisions and get involved in the missions.
The emphasis is much more on observation, communication and strategy than strength or athletic ability. Some light physical participation is involved, but the format is designed to be inclusive for mixed corporate groups.
A suitable outdoor activity area is required, ideally with an indoor room nearby. The indoor space is used for the dramatic briefing, explanation of the rules and secret selection of the saboteurs.
Teams practise clear communication, leadership, decision-making and remaining calm when information is uncertain. It also prompts useful conversations about trust, influence and how groups respond when somebody quietly challenges the agreed plan.
No—that uncertainty is central to the experience. Teams must judge behaviour carefully rather than simply concentrating on the challenges, creating plenty of debate, accusations and memorable revelations.
It gives colleagues a shared story to talk about long after the event. The combination of outdoor challenges and social deduction engages analytical thinkers, natural leaders and observant team members without relying on sporting ability.
