How Will You Perform Under Real Pressure?
The UK's Most Authentic Special Forces Tactical Experience
Dark Prism recreates Special Forces missions in a controlled environment where the pressure is real, the decisions matter, and the adrenaline is genuine.
You move through rooms with a squad at your side. You handle replica CO₂ rifles, clear objectives and secure targets while former UK Special Forces operators run the scenario.
The lighting drops. The noise builds. Your heart rate rises. The clock does not slow down.
Every decision you make changes what happens next. Every second counts.

CORPORATE
Corporate and Leadership Teams
Leadership, communication and pressure-handling brought to life.
Dark Prism gives teams a rare chance to operate in a truly high-stakes environment without real risk. Every outcome is shaped by how well your people think, move and communicate under time pressure.
Use Dark Prism for:
team offsites and reward days
high-intensity bonding for new teams
leadership and executive groups who want a serious stress-test
A controlled tactical environment where performance becomes visible, lessons are captured in the debrief, and people leave knowing how they actually operate, not how they think they do.
Led by Former UK Special Forces
Not actors. Not weekend warriors. People who have used these skills in places where the consequences were real. They teach you to handle pressure with control, situational awareness and clear communication. They brief you, guide you, and keep the environment safe. You bring focus, effort and enthusiasm.
Your instructors are former UK Special Forces operators with real operational histories.
What to Expect Inside Dark Prism
PHASE ONE
The Briefing
You arrive at the covert operations centre and step into the mission space.
Instructors kit you out with tactical equipment: replica CO₂ rifles, dual-tube night vision goggles, laser aiming systems.
You receive a focused briefing on weapon handling, CQB fundamentals and communication under pressure.
Most participants are complete beginners. The briefing is built for you.
PHASE TWO
The Mission
You run a series of escalating missions across changing environments:
Full light – learn to move, cover and clear as a squad
Low-light and degraded conditions – strobes, shadow, partial vision
Night vision operations – dual-tube NVGs, quiet comms, high tension
You feel the weight of the rifle in your hands. You hear footsteps and muffled commands. You sense the clock ticking as you push through doors and commit to decisions.
The instructors adjust scenarios in real time. Your mission success depends on your ability to think clearly, communicate cleanly, and back your team.
PHASE THREE
The Debrief
After each run, operators debrief you.
They walk you through what you did well, where your squad hesitated, and how your decisions changed the outcome. They show you how you behaved when it really felt like it mattered.
You leave with:
a clear picture of how you handled real pressure
shared language and stories with your squad
an experience that sits closer to a Special Forces mission than any game or theme attraction

What People Say When They Step Back Out
“Great team building session, unique experience, gave us a taste of how special forces train CQB! A good session, interactive, friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend for a fun but insightful day out.”

“Had a great day out at Dark Prizm with the boys today. Our instructor was excellent — clear, patient, and really knew his stuff. We had loads of fun learning how to enter a threshold and properly clear rooms. The whole session was a perfect mix of adrenaline and solid training. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a brilliant, hands-on experience.”
Sam - Private Mission

We wanted to provide something completely unique and unforgettable and the Dark Prism element of the day helped us do exactly that! The group were highly engaged and we were able to create a highly immersive experience which connected to the company's values really strongly, all thanks to Dark Prism. I would 100% recommend the Dark Prism experience for corporate teams, what they are offering is truly elite and will help the team grow as individuals and collectively, but most of all leave them smiling and buzzing at the end!

FAQS

Yes. Everything is designed as a high-intensity experience inside a tightly controlled environment. You use non-lethal replica systems, full safety gear, and you are supervised by ex-Special Forces instructors at all times.
-
A basic level of mobility helps. You will be on your feet and moving through rooms. You do not need to be an athlete. If you have concerns, talk to us before you book.
-
Most participants are first-timers. The briefing starts from zero and the instructors coach you through every stage. Nobody expects you to arrive as an expert.
-
Comfortable clothing and sturdy footwear. We provide tactical kit and safety equipment on site.
-
Sessions are 16+ as standard. Corporate groups and private missions can discuss specific requirements with the team.
-
It shares the adrenaline and teamwork, yet the feel is very different. This is a guided Special Forces-style mission with authentic kit, changing light, and a formal debrief. No random public players. No puzzle props. Just you, your squad and the operation.
-
You will use exact replicas of special forces equipment (UKSF Unit 4 Training Rifle, Firing 8mm projectiles), Elite military grade helmets, dual night vision goggles, red dot laser sights, and ThruDark clothing.
