The Traitors
Like many people across the country, I am quite enthralled with the BBC1 programme currently airing on Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
What I didn't know, was that there is a version of the game you can join in with.
It's called The Traitors Live Experience and is to be found in a converted warehouse in London’s Covent Garden.
When you arrive, you check in at the front desk, then you are shown to a table in the bar area of the reception, to meet the other participants. There will be between 10 and 12 of you when you go through to play.
During your time at the bar table, you are given a tablet to put in your details. One of the questions is about the start of the game. You are asked if you would like to be a Traitor from the start. However, regardless of your answer to that question, you may be blackmailed into a Traitor position at any time after the start.
From the bar table we moved into a room with a round table where you are seated and remain in that position while various challenges take place. You can win gold or shields during the challenges.
When the Traitors meet in the turret, they remain seated with you all at the round table, however, Faithfuls have to don heavy blindfolds so we cannot see what they are doing. Of course, you have to hone your other senses, with me I was straining my ears to hear if there was any movement near me.
I heard movement to my left. My wife was on my left. I realised she had been nominated as a Traitor.
It was interesting how the game played out, but suffice to say that another man and I were the only Faithfuls left and through shear determination we outed the Traitors and won the kitty.
If you have a few hours to spare and fancy something different, you could do worse than play the game. You can book any number of people up to a full table, so groups up to 12 are welcome.
If you fancy a go, here are the details:
