The Traitors: Format & How To Play
The show is a unique reality series with a set of rules to follow to reach the end. The contestants arrive at a castle in the Scottish Highlands. A group of them are given the role of the Traitors while the others are Faithfuls. Every week, the Traitors get the chance to murder a contestant thus eliminating them from the game. Up next, at the end of the week, a player is banished.
The goal is for all the contestants to pitch names and convince others to banish a contestant they think could be a Traitor. By doing challenges, the contestants collect money. Towards the end, if the Faithfuls have eliminated all the Traitors, they have the option to split the money, but in case a Traitor remains, the Faithfuls lose and the Traitor wins, taking home the money.
