“Emmy Award-winning series The Traitors is a nail-biting psychological adventure in which treachery and deceit are the name of the game. The entertainment industry’s most competitive reality stars and famous faces play the ultimate murder mystery game. Hosted by award-winning actor Alan Cumming at an ancient castle set deep in the Scottish Highlands, contestants work together on a series of exhilarating missions to build a prize fund worth up to $250,000,” reads Peacock’s synopsis.

Game Mechanics

A group known as the Faithful collaborates to complete challenges and accumulate a potential prize of up to $250,000.
Among the Faithful are hidden Traitors whose goal is to secretly eliminate the other contestants.
Under cover of darkness, Traitors systematically remove the Faithful from the game.
The Faithful must identify and banish all the Traitors to win and share the prize fund.
However, if any Traitor survives until the end, they take all the prize money for themselves.

“Hidden amongst the Faithful are the Traitors, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithful and claim the prize for themselves. Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors murder the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree, while the Faithful try to uncover the Traitors and banish them from the game. If the Faithful contestants banish all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund, but if a Traitor (or Traitors) makes it to the end, they will steal all the money.”
