Mafia in the Woods: A Game of Secrets & Survival
Student Union, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh
Free
Step into the shadows with International Cultural Society for a thrilling outdoor game of Mafia - tea, tales and treachery await in the woods.
Ever played Mafia under the trees? Join the International Cultural Society for a mysterious and magical afternoon of storytelling, strategy, and suspense in the woods on campus.
Meet us at 4pm in the Student Union foyer on Monday 1st September for a short walk to our secret woodland location. From 4–6pm, you’ll dive into a live-action version of Mafia, led by our narrator Sara, with custom character cards, tea, biscuits, and candlelight to set the mood.
Whether you're a killer, a detective, a ghost, or a mad villager, your mission is to survive, uncover secrets, and outwit your opponents. No experience needed – just bring your imagination and a sense of adventure. It’s a perfect way to meet new people, explore campus in a new light, and kick off the year with something unforgettable.
Can’t make it Monday? We’re doing it again on Friday 5th September – same time, same place!
Tea, blankets, and all game materials provided. Just show up and play. Remember to bring warm clothing as the weather can change quickly in Scotland!
