Highland Games

Fight like a true Scot

Highland Games

What is it?

The Highland Games are a powerful and connective team building concept that brings out the true tribe feeling. Teams compete against each other in traditional, playful and sometimes tough challenges such as tree-trunk throwing, tug-of-war or slingshot shooting. Competitive, binding and always good for group dynamics, fun and team spirit.

How does this work?

Choose the formula that suits you

After a short briefing, you will imagine yourself to be real Scots – including kilts and typical attire. Then the tests start: physical strength, clever cooperation and a good dose of fun will determine who wins. All scores are recorded live and at the end there is the big denouement: which team will be crowned clan champion?

Best of all? You don’t have to provide anything. We bring all the materials, from the trials and scoreboards to the Scottish outfits.

Experience the atmosphere of the Scottish highlands with our Highland Games. In small teams you will compete against each other in playful strength and agility tests such as tug-of-war, tree-trunk throwing and much more. After the sporting effort, relaxation follows: our mobile pizza or BBQ oven will arrive on site and provide a tasty finale. While the ovens are running at full speed, you will enjoy fresh pizza or grilled specialties and the teams can chat about their achievements.

Highland Games & Dining is the ideal combination of competition and conviviality: first giving everything in the game, then toasting and dining together.

Practical info

Authenticity of the games

We use original materials such as tree trunks, ropes and weights so that you experience a true Highland Games atmosphere, without compromising safety.

Weather dependence

Highland Games are ideal for outdoor play. In rainy weather we just play on – sturdy clothing and shoes are recommended. In case of storm or extreme weather conditions, we will look at an alternative together.

Clothing and shoes

Wear comfortable athletic clothing and shoes that can take a beating. An extra set of clothes or rain gear can be useful in changeable weather.

Team spirit over strength

Although some of the trials look tough, the main focus is cooperation and fun. The tests are structured so that anyone can participate, regardless of strength or fitness.

Location Requirements

A grassy field or spacious outdoor location is ideal. We need enough free space to allow the games to proceed safely and give teams adequate freedom of movement.

Guidance and atmosphere

Our instructors not only provide professional guidance, but also bring the necessary humor and Scottish atmosphere to make the competition extra lively.

Good question!
