More about the book
Your journey begins alongside 21 other contestants in the Castle. As the game progresses, you will need to decide who to trust and how to respond to different situations, turning to different sections according to the choices you make. Those decisions shape what happens next and can ultimately lead to you banishing a Traitor or a Faithful – or being banished or murdered yourself.

Each day includes a Mission before ending at the Round Table, where you must decide who should be banished. The following morning begins at breakfast, when an absent contestant reveals who has been murdered. Alongside this continuing storyline are more than 20 standalone Bonus Games with Traitors-themed twists, designed to be played with varying numbers of people.

The game asks you to pay attention to the contestants, their behaviour and what they tell you as you work out who might be hiding something. Keeping your own notes as you play can help you track the information and suspicions that build across your journey.

• Traitor or Faithful? by Alan Connor: Another official The Traitors game and puzzle book by Alan Connor, using scenarios, logic puzzles and strategic challenges set in the world of the Castle. Rather than following the branching 12-day journey of The Traitors, it challenges readers to discover whether they would be a Faithful or a Traitor.
• Death in Paradise: The Puzzle Book: Like The Traitors, this turns a television property into an interactive experience built around investigation and deduction. Its challenges focus on solving murder mysteries rather than identifying deception through The Traitors-style social strategy.
• A Box Full of Murders: The Puzzle Book by Janice Hallett: Shares the emphasis on clues, deduction and interactive mystery-solving, but centres on solving a murder mystery rather than the game-show structure, branching choices and social strategy of The Traitors.
