Circle of Betrayal
Short Study – Weekend Course
Page Navigation
Overview
The Circle of Betrayal Experience is an immersive version of the popular social deduction games where a group must work together to uncover the traitors in their midst.
You will develop your strategic and teamwork skills, enhance your ability to read body language and build you investigative skills. The experience will allow you to inhabit a role and test your ability to improvise and work under pressure, to persuade (and perhaps even deceive) your fellow players in order to secure your win.
Some of the roles involved in the Circle of Betrayal may include:
- Investigator – can investigate one player each night and find out their possible role
- Lookout – can watch one player each night
- Sheriff – can find out if a player is suspicious each night
- Jailor – can jail someone each night
- Veteran – if they go on alert they will shoot anyone who visits them at night
- Vigilante – can shoot one player in the night phase
- Doctor – can heal one player in the night phase
- Tavern Keeper – can block one player in the night phase
- Framer (Evil) – can frame someone making them look suspicious to sheriff or investigator
- Mafioso (Evil) – does bidding of godfather
- Godfather (Evil) – orders kills
- Jester (Neutral) – wins if the town votes them out
- Executioner (Neutral) – has a target they need to get voted out. If that person is killed at night they become jester.
- Medium – can communicate with the dead each night
- Serial Killer – (Evil) – kills one person each night
With a variety of roles – there are parts for everyone. Join us for one-day in the Circle of Betrayal, where the only person you can truly trust is yourself.

James is a graduate of the BA Acting programme at RCS and Patron of the Junior Conservatoire of Drama. The Glasgow-born actor has funded the new James McAvoy Drama Scholarships to enable young people to experience the world-class drama training at RCS as he did.
