Traitors Challenge

Last night, Shackleton ESU put our teamwork, strategy and problem-solving skills to the test with an action-packed Traitors Challenge Night – and what a brilliant evening it was!

Inspired by the TV show The Traitors, Explorers took part in a series of exciting challenges, all while trying to work out who they could (and couldn’t!) trust…

Throughout the night, teams tackled a range of fast-paced and brain-teasing activities. Our Code Breakers challenge put communication and logic to the test as teams raced to crack hidden messages. The Tower Building challenge saw groups competing to construct the tallest and most stable structure under pressure – with plenty of creative engineering on display! We also ran a series of team challenges that required cooperation, strategy and sharp thinking to succeed.

But of course, the real twist of the evening was the presence of the “traitors” among us. As challenges unfolded, suspicions grew, alliances formed, and accusations flew! It was fantastic to see everyone fully embracing the spirit of the game, showing brilliant acting skills and keeping straight faces under interrogation.

A huge well done to our Traitors, who managed to outwit the group and avoid being caught – no easy task! Your strategy and teamwork paid off right to the very end.

The evening was a great reminder of the importance of communication, trust and leadership, all wrapped up in a fun and engaging activity. Well done to everyone who took part and threw themselves into the challenges – we’re already looking forward to the next one
