Train with others. Operate under pressure.
Solo Operator is built for individuals who want the full Dark Prism experience without booking a private group. You join a squad of other solo participants and learn to operate together under real pressure.
You start with a focused briefing and weapon-handling training. Then you run three escalating missions across changing light conditions: full white light, degraded red light, and complete darkness with dual-tube night vision goggles.
You move, communicate and make decisions with seconds to spare. Most participants report entering a flow state – fully immersed, losing track of time, completely focused on the mission. You feel the weight of the kit, the pressure building, and the intensity of operating under stress.
Shared pressure creates real bonds. Faster than months of ordinary interaction. You'll leave with stories, new connections, and proof you can handle more than you thought.

What Happens Inside
Three hours. Three escalating missions. Instructors with elite military experience running everything.
Arrival & Briefing
You arrive at the covert operations centre and step into the mission space. Instructors kit you out with tactical equipment and walk you through weapon handling, CQB fundamentals and communication protocols.
When briefing ends, mission begins.
Mission One: White Light
Your first room clearance mission under full lighting. You learn to move, cover and clear as a squad. The instructors observe and adjust in real time.
Debrief
The team walks you through what worked, where you hesitated, and how your decisions shaped the outcome.
Mission Two: Red Light
The same objective, but now the light is degraded. Red lighting, shadow, partial vision. The pressure builds. Communication becomes critical.
Night Vision Training
You learn to operate dual-tube military-grade night vision goggles. The instructors show you how to move, aim and communicate in total darkness. Under night vision, depth and distance feel different. You begin to trust movement over sight.
Mission Three: Black Light
Complete blackout. You run the final mission using only night vision. Every sound matters. Every movement counts. This is where it gets real.
Final Debrief
The instructors break down your performance across all three missions. You see exactly how you handled escalating pressure, how your squad held together, and what you're capable of when it counts. Many participants leave "buzzing" – that rush of proving to yourself you could do something most people never attempt. The shift from "I think I can" to "I know I can" is complete.
What to Bring
Wear comfortable clothing and sturdy footwear. We provide all tactical equipment on site: replica CO₂ rifles, dual-tube night vision goggles, laser aiming systems, protective gear.
You don't need any previous experience. Most participants are complete beginners.
What you will experience: Eustress – positive stress that sharpens focus and builds resilience. The adrenaline surge is real, but you're always safe. That combination creates the conditions for flow, accomplishment, and genuine personal growth compressed into three hours.
All participants receive a personalised certificate at the end of their mission.
