Who can you trust, when should you collaborate, and when is it time to change your strategy? If you enjoy the tension between shared goals and personal interests in the TV competition The Traitors, discover the latest addition to the Catalyst Czech Republic portfolio. Friend or Foe is an interactive corporate team building activity that combines team challenges, negotiation and decision-making under uncertainty. The programme lasts 1–2 hours, can take place indoors or outdoors, and is designed for groups of 8 or more participants.

What is the Friend or Foe team building activity?

Friend or Foe is a collaborative, logic-based team activity. Participants work in teams on a series of dynamic challenges focused on communication, problem-solving and strategic thinking. They share a common goal, but there is a catch: at key moments, individuals or entire teams may put their own interests ahead of those of the group.

These choices create tension. Decisions affect scoring, progress and the final outcome. Simply completing the task is not enough. Teams also need to reach agreement, assess the situation and decide which direction to take.

The Traitors as inspiration, Friend or Foe as a corporate experience

You know the question from television: who can you trust? In the corporate programme Friend or Foe, the dilemma takes on a team dimension. How do you balance personal ambitions with a shared outcome? What will you do when circumstances change? And can you convince others that your strategy makes sense?

It is not just about betrayal. Collaboration, negotiation and the ability to respond as the game unfolds are at the heart of the activity. Rather than passively watching a story, participants become the people whose choices determine what happens next.

How does Friend or Foe work?

Teams tackle shared challenges while facing decision points that introduce uncertainty into the game. A choice that benefits an individual may not be the best option for everyone. Participants therefore continually reassess their strategy, negotiate and respond to changing conditions.

Consider a question that captures the principle behind the game: “Is it better for us to pursue our own advantage now, or support the shared outcome?” This is not an actual task briefing, but an illustration of the dilemma explored by the activity. The answer may not always be the same — it depends on the situation and the agreement reached with others.
