The Traitors Dinner
Borrowed straight from the show. Secret assignments split the table into Traitors and Faithfuls; hidden clues and small missions run between courses, with an elimination at each. The Faithfuls hunt the Traitors before dessert. Works best with a crowd — eight to fourteen.
What it's for
Build the kind of social paranoia that makes people read each other more carefully than they ever do at a normal dinner.
The guest's job
Play your assignment — Traitor or Faithful — without breaking cover, and accuse someone before dessert.
The vote
The elimination vote at each course: who is the Traitor? The Faithfuls must agree; the Traitors must deflect.
The reveal
Post-dessert: all assignments surface and the table replays every suspicious moment.
Food & drink spine
Courses that pace the reveals — finger food for investigation lulls, a proper main for the climax.
Conversation fuel
"What gave you away, and when did you know you’d been read?"
How it flops — steer around it
Too few players or a Traitor who’s bad at lying. Eight is the absolute floor; cast carefully.
