Structure

A typical series will begin with twelve players. Three players will be selected to begin as a Traitor - everybody else will begin as a Faithful.

Each player will be assigned a unique power to assist them in either catching The Traitors before it's too late if they are a Faithful, or to stop that from happening if they are a Traitor. Each Traitor will also be assigned a false Faithful power not already belonging to a player. They won't be able to use the power's ability, but they can safely claim it to blend in with The Faithful.

Depending on the series, a Faithful may also unknowingly be drunk. A drunk Faithful's power will never work as intended, meaning any information they learn will be false, and any ability they attempt to use will fail. While a drunk Faithful's power will appear with drunk in the name in any recorded game logs, such as The Drunk Cleanser, players will never be told whether they are drunk during a series, instead believing they are simply The Cleanser, though it will typically be clarified before a series takes place whether a drunk Faithful will be, or could be in play.

Here's an example of how powers could be distributed at the beginning of a series:

Player	Power
Sunny	The Bartender(false:The Analyst)
Efe	The Falsifier(false:The Researcher)
Makena	The Silencer(false:The Sheriff)
Alex	The Cleanser
Kai	The Detective
Zuri	The Historian
Steve	The Mimic
Ari	The Sober
Noor	The Spy

Lastly, one player will be the host. The host is responsible for progressing the series and guiding players through each stage of the game, and as such, their instructions should be followed.

Day Cycle

Each game day is broken down into three main parts, which are as follows:

Breakfast

Starting from day one, players who survive the night will arrive at breakfast in a random order. After all players have arrived, the host will walk in to share any updates with the group, such as who was murdered by The Traitors, or the details of a twist that took place during the night.

Discussion

Discussion is the main section of the daytime, and a chance for players to freely explore the castle, as well as discuss any information they have learned with fellow players. This is the only opportunity players are given to privately share their thoughts with other players without having to speak with the entire group, so it should be used wisely. Whether players decide to discuss between them who they believe to be a Traitor, or withhold their information, is for them to decide.

It is also possible for a twist to take place during discussion, such as the Murder twist, or the first stage of the Confession twist, which is currently the only way players can obtain a shield, thus protecting them from being murdered that night.

The Round Table

When discussion time comes to an end, players will typically be sent to the round table. In some cases, a player may be sent to the Guess or Seer twist first, in which case those at the round table must wait for the twist to be completed.

At the round table, there are no more private conversations. This is the place for players to speak their mind in front of the entire group, before voting to banish who they believe to be a Traitor when the time for talk is over. At every round table, a player must be banished - there is no option to skip. Unless it is the final round table, the player who receives the most votes will reveal whether they were a Faithful or a Traitor, before leaving the castle permanently. A banishment will not take place on day zero.

Day	Day One
Result	Tie	Sunny
Vote Count	4-4-1-1	6-2
Sunny	Alex	No vote
Efe	Alex	Alex
Makena	Kai	Alex
Alex	Sunny	No vote
Kai	Sunny×2	Sunny×2
Zuri	Sunny	Sunny
Steve	Alex	Sunny
Ari	Alex	Sunny
Noor	Efe	Sunny

If the vote results in a tie, a second vote will be held between the tied players, or if all players tie with exactly one vote, players will be given a little extra time to come to a conclusion. If there is a second tie, the tied players will enter deadlock. From there, the banished player will be left up to chance.

Players entering deadlock at the round table

Many events can take place during the round table, such as The Silencer's silence, The Judge's protection, The Sheriff's accusation, or the Double Vote twist. If The Survivor has been alerted, failing to banish a Traitor will result in their murder. If The Joker is banished, the series will end immediately.

After the round table comes to an end, players will be separated, and the night cycle will begin, or if it was the final round table, the remaining four players will instead enter the finale.

Night Cycle

The night cycle typically begins with The Faithful being sent to their individual homes, and The Traitors being sent to the Traitors' Oath if they have not yet taken it, or the Traitors' Turret once every Traitor has taken the Traitors' Oath. Here's how it plays out:

Traitors' Oath

One Traitor at a time will take the Traitors' Oath before entering the Traitors' Turret for the first time. This typically happens on day zero, before The Traitors learn the identities of their fellow Traitors, or when a Traitor is recruited. For example:

Host:You stand before the Traitors' Turret. Before I give you this cloak, I'm going to need you to take the Traitors' Oath.

Host:Do you commit to lie and deceive throughout this game?

Sunny:I do.

Host:Are you willing to murder one of your fellow players every single night?

Sunny:I am.

Host:And do you vow to keep your identity, and the identity of your fellow Traitors, a secret?

Sunny:I do.

Host:Then you are now, officially, a Traitor.

A Traitor will only learn their power after taking the Traitors' Oath.

Traitors' Turret

When The Traitors meet in the Traitors' Turret, they must discuss which event they'd like to attempt tonight. This will most commonly be an attempt to murder a Faithful, but if there are two Traitors, they gain the option to attempt to seduce a player, and if there is only one Traitor, they must instead choose a player to give an ultimatum, either recruiting them as a Traitor, or murdering them, even if they are protected.

After making their decision, each Traitor will also use their power's ability to hinder The Faithful. They may also be asked to nominate a player to participate in an upcoming twist - for example, it's up to The Traitors which player receives a double vote during the Double Vote twist, which Traitor must murder a Faithful in plain sight during the Murder twist, and which players should be put on trial during the Trial twist. After making all of the necessary decisions, The Traitors will be sent to their individual homes.

If the Confession twist is active, The Traitors will be sent to the Confession twist instead of the Traitors' Turret. They will make their necessary decisions after the twist concludes. If the Trial twist is active, it will begin upon The Traitors being sent to their individual homes.

Host Visiting

After the Traitors' Turret concludes, as well as any active twists, the host will individually visit each Faithful to use their ability. The exact visiting order may vary, and each player will only be visited if they actually need to be. If eligible, a Faithful will be visited even if The Traitors attempted to murder them, though if they are murdered, their ability will not continue to succeed. To give an example, if The Sheriff decides to accuse a player, but is then murdered, the accusation will not take place.

Similarly to The Traitors, The Faithful may also be asked to nominate a player to participate in a twist, such as the Guess or Seer twists, which are determined by votes. If a Faithful is guessed, they will learn this before being given the opportunity to use their power, with the exception of The Cleanser, who is unknowingly given an opportunity to protect themself - if they fail to do so, it will be revealed to them that they were guessed, and whatever decision they did make will not be recorded. If a Faithful is offered The Joker power, they must make a decision before using their ability - if they accept, their Faithful power will become a false power until they lose The Joker power.

After The Faithful have been visited, if a murder took place, the targeted Faithful will be sent to the diary room to have that revealed to them. If The Traitors attempt to murder The Survivor, unless they are drunk, they will be alerted, but not yet murdered, as per the rules of the power. The next day will begin shortly after.

The Finale

When five players remain, banished players will stop revealing whether they were a Faithful or a Traitor. Upon arriving at the round table, The Joker will return to being their Faithful power, and a final banishment will take place, resulting in four finalists, who will enter the finale immediately after. From this point, conferring will no longer be allowed.

The purpose of the finale is to leave the game in the players' hands. A series will end only when all players are in agreement, or when only two players remain. To determine when all players are in agreement, each player will vote whether to banish again, or end game, and if just one player votes to banish again, another banishment will take place.

A finale may play out something like this:

Day	Day Five
Result	Banish Again	Sunny	End Game	Game Over
Vote Count	2-2	3-1	3-0	FaithfulWin
Alex	Banish Again	Sunny	End Game	Winner
Kai	End Game	Sunny	End Game	Winner
Zuri	Banish Again	Sunny	End Game	Winner
Sunny	End Game	Alex	Banished

If any Traitors make it to the end of the finale, they win. Otherwise, the surviving Faithful win.

Host:Would you like to accuse a player?

The Sheriff:Yes.

Host:Who would you like to accuse?

There are two types of writable books: The Notes book, which all players are given at the beginning of a series to make note of any information they deem important, and the Traitors' Response book, which is used by The Traitors during the Confession twist to anonymously respond to the Faithful.

Written Books

There are several more types of written books, such as the seer book, which reveals whether a player is a Faithful or a Traitor during the Seer twist, and the diary room books, which can be received by a Faithful player if they are being murdered, seduced, or alerted if they are The Survivor.

Vote Papers

When a vote opens, any player who is eligible to vote will be given a vote paper, or a double vote paper if they were nominated by The Traitors to receive a double vote during the Double Vote twist, which as the name would suggest, counts for two votes. By running the vote command, the uncast vote paper will be renamed to the targeted player's name, which the player will later place in their spot at the round table to reveal their vote to the group. A cast vote cannot be changed.

Finale Torches

During the finale vote, any player who is eligible to vote will run the vote command to decide whether to banish again, or end game. Doing so will give the host a torch, which will either turn red for banish again, or green for end game when placed. Unlike vote papers, a finale vote can be changed until the vote is locked. The host will ask whether everybody is happy with their decision before locking the vote.

Sacred Sword

During the Murder twist, the Sacred Sword will be placed in the nominated Traitor's inventory. They must attack a Faithful with it to murder them in plain sight, then keep it concealed to avoid being caught.

Traitors' Equipment

When The Traitors meet each other, or with a Faithful during the night, they will be equipped with their cloak and lantern. While equipped, a Traitor will move more slowly than usual.

Shields

While visually the same, there are two different types of shield. One is the deadlock shield, which is obtained during deadlock, protecting the wielder from banishment, and leaving the banished player in the hands of fate. The other is the murder shield, which is obtained from confession chests during the Confession twist, protecting the wielder from murder during the following night. Players are not required to share if they find a murder shield, though The Traitors will later find out through the Confession twist.

Drinks

Once per series, each player will be able to visit the bar and choose their drink of choice: a Faithful Fancy, or a Traitors' Tipple. This doesn't impact the game in any way, it's simply a fun easter egg inspired by the official show.

Misc. Items

A handful of other game items exist, such as the player heads used in the breakfast room, and the life and death cards used during the Trial twist, but these are typically unobtainable. There may or may not also be another secret game item not mentioned anywhere on this page... Shhh.

The Castle

The castle grounds includes many of the core gameplay locations both indoors and outdoors, such as:

Indoor Areas

The front and center room of the castle is, of course, the round table. It's the most important area of the game in its entirety, and where players will meet to banish a player each day.

Also inside the castle are many unique rooms for players to hang out in as they discuss their thoughts and share their information, including the foyer, the breakfast room, the library, the bar, the kitchen, and the billiards room.

While inaccessible unless summoned during the night, the diary room is located in the upstairs of the castle.

Outdoor Areas

The outside of the castle provides some additional areas for players to discuss and explore during the day.

More importantly, it includes the finale area, where the four finalists will meet at the end of a series to decide whether to banish again, or end game.

Traitor Areas

Some areas are exclusive to The Traitors. First is the Traitors' Oath spot, where a Traitor must take the Traitors' Oath before entering the Traitors' Turret for the first time.

And of course, the iconic Traitors' Turret, where The Traitors will meet each night to murder or recruit a Faithful, and use their powers' abilities.
