You won't want to miss this one ⚡

Join us on the sports pitches and take on the SU Challenge Quest where you’ll tackle games and giant inflatables to win points for your team. But there's a twist... at the start you will be told if you are a Traitor or Faithful. Traitor's will be tasked with sabotaging a game. Work as a team to catch your Traitor and win EXTRA points. If the Traitor succeeds without being caught, they win a prize.
