The inTrUDORS – An Immersive Adventure Game at Samlesbury Hall

Step back in time to the 16th century, where secrecy, deception, and survival intertwine in a high-stakes game of social deduction, interactive drama and historic quest. Welcome to The inTrUDORS — a gripping immersive experience set within the atmospheric chambers and vast grounds of Samlesbury Hall, a 14th-century manor with a dark, turbulent past. In this multi-layered 3.5-hour adventure, 30 players are placed into two factions of unknown number: the Challengers who seek to evade the inTrUDORS, and the inTrUDORS  who are bent on sabotaging their every move. But there’s a devilish twist: No one knows who’s who. The inTrUDORS blend seamlessly among the Challengers, hidden in plain sight, manipulating and sabotaging efforts to gather crucial information. Meanwhile, the Challengers must rely on their wits and teamwork to solve puzzles, unearth secrets, and stay one step ahead in a race against time. The game unfolds across three interactive role-playing Timeslips, each one transporting you to a different time during the 16th century. Explore the shadowed corridors and hidden chambers of Samlesbury Hall, encountering some of history’s most famous figures including Queen Elizabeth I, William Shakespeare, Matthew Hopkins, Guy Fawkes and King Henry VIII. Each character poses cryptic riddles and challenges that hold the keys to progressing through the game.
