The Deceivers Game Show – Team Building Activity

Think you know your colleagues? Think again.

Deceivers: The Game Show is an electrifying team building experience where trust is tested, alliances are formed, and deception is rewarded.

Inspired but by no way affiliated with the hit TV show The Traitors, this dynamic activity is a battle of wit, strategy, and deception. Perfect for boosting team collaboration and trust while adding a sprinkle of suspense, The Deceivers will keep your team on their toes, and looking over their shoulders!

At the start, everyone appears to be playing fairly. Teams will tackle a series of challenges at their tables, earning points for their performance. But here’s where it gets interesting… At the end of the activity, each team must secretly select a Deceiver from among them. If their chosen Deceiver has successfully blended in throughout the game, they’ll win bonus points—but if the other teams suspect foul play, they’ll risk being exposed! It’s a battle of teamwork, bluffing, and deception.

Can your team outplay the competition?

What clients say about The Deceivers Game Show Team Building Activity?

Our recent team-building event with Zing Events was nothing short of spectacular! The activity was engaging and perfectly designed to foster collaboration and communication among the team. Robin and Jason, the facilitators were professional, energetic, and ensured everyone felt included and motivated. We left the event feeling more connected and inspired to work together towards our common goals. Highly recommend for any team looking to strengthen their bonds and boost morale!

What are some example challenges in The Deceivers Game Show?

Our mysterious hooded host introduces the game, explaining the rules, roles, and challenges ahead. The group is divided into teams and then embark on a series of immersive table-based challenges, ranging from mental puzzles to physical tests of skill. 

 

The Poison Chalice
Teams pass a radioactive item (yellow ball) around their circle using oversized gloves, but with strict rules—one slip, and it’s back to the start. A Deceiver could make this task far trickier than it seems…

The Fallen Crown
A higher or lower game based on British monarchs and their reigns— stand for “before, ” sit for “after.” Choose wisely, as a Deceiver may be steering the team toward history’s biggest blunders!

The Oracle’s Riddle
A robotic voice from the future delivers cryptic multiple-choice questions—teams must lock in their answers before the truth is revealed. A Deceiver might lead the team astray with fake confidence!

The Silver Dagger
Teams must carefully construct a structure using limited materials, following specific rules for height and stability. A Deceiver in the ranks might just have a shaky hand when placing key pieces…
