Highlander’s Games, Mountain robbers party => Events in a local mountains atmosphere
We’ve Been Organizing Company Events for Years – Trust Our Expertise!
Let us handle the comprehensive organization of your meeting or event, while you relax and enjoy your time in Zakopane.
We offer a unique outdoor experience through our signature programs: “The Robber’s Attack” or “Robber’s Party”. These thrilling events take place in one of the scenic Tatra clearings, typically near the Chochołowska Valley, but we can also arrange it in a location of your choice.
Guests can arrive at the event in traditional carriages or sleighs, or take a bus and walk towards the bonfire area, prepared especially for them. As they approach (whether on foot or by carriage), they are ambushed by robbers lurking in the nearby forest! With the sound of shots, bandit melodies, and chaos in the air, the robbers jump out from behind the trees to stage a surprise “attack.”
During the commotion, a few guests are “kidnapped” to become team captains. The rest of the group, spared by the robbers, head to the party spot where Harnaś, the leader of the robbers, awaits them with the kidnapped captains.
Next, the group is divided into smaller teams to compete in Highlander’s challenges. Each team receives wristbands, a unique team name, and a scorecard to track their progress throughout the games.
Highlander’s Trials may include:
- Sawing Challenge: Teamwork with a two-person saw – everyone pulls in their own direction!
- Nail Hammering: Using a robber’s hammer, also known as the Highlander’s breathalyzer.
- Highlander’s Ski Race: A group task involving one giant ski.
- Slalom Skiing: A fun slalom between poles for three people (even when there’s no snow!).
- Strongman Test: Lifting a bucket of… well, that’s a surprise!
- Lumberjack’s Throw: Testing your accuracy and strength.
- Highlander’s Quiz: A test of your knowledge about the Highlander culture.
- Slalom Between the Stakes: Another fun slalom course.
- Robber’s Challenge: Trying to unlock a padlock like a true bandit.
- Target Shooting: Using a slingshot or spear to hit a target, such as a painted bear.
- Horseshoe Toss: A classic game of accuracy, tossing horseshoes into a bucket.
- And finally, Harnaś will share some Highlander’s tales – sometimes amusing, sometimes a bit dangerous!
The duration of the event is approximately 2 hours.
