A Traitors live experience, which is due to open in London’s Covent Garden in July, has announced that it will be releasing tickets in the coming weeks. The event promises a number of recreations of the actual television show, including a round table, and goes on sale on 28 January.
“I am extremely excited for The Traitors: Live Experience to open in London next year,” said Claudia Winkleman, host of the UK television version of The Traitors.
“I can’t wait for players to immerse themselves in their own drama, strategy and deception. They’ll love the game and should definitely expect twists. Please can you add an evil cackle here?”
Players are promised the chance to take part in a blindfolded selection process for those who will play as traitors – and plot the murder of their fellow gamers. They will also get to experience missions and the chance to form alliances with some contestants, while plotting against others. The experience will be overseen by a host, taking on Winkleman’s role.
Given that the recent third series, in which project manager Jake Brown and former soldier Leanne Quigley shared a prize pot of £94,600, was marked by a huge amount of people crying, hopes are that it will prove to be less stressful than the actual experience of appearing on the show.
Presumably it will also avoid the potential for genuinely ruining friendships, in the style of the finale of The Traitors season two, when Molly walked offset swearing after being betrayed by Traitor winner Harry Clark.
It comes from the brains behind a number of other high-profile immersive experiences for the BBC, including Doctor Who: Time Fracture and a Peaky Blinders event made in collaboration with the programme’s creator Steven Knight.
There will be sessions for adults only, as well as those for families whose children are aged 12 and over. Tickets will start from £29.50.
