The BBC has launched an online game to partner the new series of The Traitors.
It will be made available after tonight’s episode (5th January), so that fans of the reality competition show will be able to compete with others to prove who is the “ultimate Traitors fan.”
Ahead of each episode players will be able to predict who they think will be the next person to be murdered by the Traitors and who the Faithful will banish at the next Round Table.
Choices will need to made by the start of the following episode, and each correct guess will earn players points which will be added to their total over the course of the series.
There will be a leaderboard, plus separate mini-competitions for friends.
“This brand new game offers fans of The Traitors the chance to immerse themselves in the world of the show, and play along with all the betrayals, mind games, and manipulations of this epic new series,” said Jamie Dodds, BBC Entertainment’s MediaCity-based Digital Commissioning Executive.
“It’s a great way for people at home to see if they can think like a Traitor!”
The Traitors online game is licensed to the BBC by The Traitors format rights holder All3Media International.
“We’ve built this game as a fun way to help people engage with one of our best loved and most exciting shows,” added Pushpa Reddy, Director of Product Management at the BBC.
“This is a game for The Traitors obsessives – using everything they know and understand about the show to inform their predictions to compete with their friends and family at this tense and nail-biting game and see who will emerge as the ultimate Traitors fan.”
Created in the Netherlands All3Media’s IDTV, it has become a worldwide hit, with more than 25 adaptations and numerous returning seasons.
