Where the Game Begins
Driving a fleet of classic Land Rovers, the grandeur of The Highlands creates an atmosphere of intrigue long before your arrival at a remote Scottish castle.
From this moment on, the estate becomes your world.
Each day, your host will deliver a message to your group. It may present a choice, assign a task, or simply offer secret information.
How you respond is entirely up to you.
The Castle Trials
On the Water
A private RIB journey across a remote loch transforms into a fast-moving treasure hunt, drawing you into the surrounding landscape while frequently testing instinct, communication and judgement.
“Being underestimated is my biggest weapon.”
Survival in the Highlands
You are dropped at a remote wilderness location where you will learn crucial survival skills, from fire-starting and bushcraft, guided by a private survival instructor. Your next challenge is to use your new navigational skills to lead you back to the castle.
Evenings at Leisure
Evenings remain unstructured and personal. Some may choose a private whisky tasting by firelight, exploring rare Scottish expressions in a relaxed setting. Others may opt for discreet ancestry research with specialist genealogists, uncovering historic connections to Scotland that add quiet depth to the experience.
“At this point, loyalty is a weakness.”
The Final Night: A Private Murder Mystery Dinner
On the final evening, your host will escort you to a candlelit banquet in the castle’s grand dining hall. Between each course, you will be summoned to take on a series of challenges unfolding across the estate - in the cellar, the library, or the drawing room - where secrets may surface and alliances begin to fracture.
After each task, guests will be eliminated as the Traitors choose their next victim, all meticulously orchestrated by your private host.
Following the final challenge, you will be led to the firepit for the roundtable. Accusations will be made, loyalties tested, and the truth finally revealed as you discover who among you was a Traitor all along.
