Your people are allocated roles in the hostage negotiation. Your collective job is to get everyone out safely. Ours is to freeze-frame the action and guide you when the risk level gets too high.

Intense, exciting, memorable

You can include a Live Hostage Role Play in any of our training courses. Expect one of the most authentic, high-stakes negotiations your team will ever have.

You see, theory is all well and good, but the most lasting lessons are learned when the stakes are high. And you must respond immediately.

What to expect

Someone will be taken hostage. Unless you can gather enough crucial intelligence to argue persuasively for their release, don’t expect them to survive.

You will walk away:

  1. Able to claim you have experienced hostage negotiation in the raw.
  2. Having put your new skills to the test in a controlled ‘life or death’ crisis.
  3. With the story of an unforgettable, white-knuckle encounter to share.

Your Live Hostage Role Play will be run by Richard Mullender, Katie Bleach, or a member of our crack hostage negotiation cell.



You can schedule a live Hostage Role Play as a grand finale to any training course.
