The show "The Traitors" works as a psychological and strategic game involving two groups of contestants: the "Faithful" and the "Traitors." All contestants start as Faithful without knowing who the Traitors are. The Traitors are secretly selected at the beginning and meet in secret each night to choose a Faithful to "murder," eliminating them from the game. The Faithful's goal is to identify and banish all the Traitors before the game ends. The game operates through daily missions, which the whole group participates in to add money to a prize fund. At the end of each day, there is a Round Table discussion where players vote to banish someone suspected of being a Traitor. The banished player must reveal if they were a Traitor or Faithful. If all Traitors get banished, the Faithful share the prize. However, if any Traitors remain until the end, they win the entire prize. The number and identity of Traitors are unknown to the Faithful. If a Traitor is banished, the remaining Traitors may recruit a Faithful to join their side. Also, some players can earn immunity shields against being murdered but not against banishment votes. The game concludes when only four players remain and they decide to either end the game or continue banishing players.
