What time should I arrive?
Your experience begins at the time shown on your ticket. The venue doors and bar open 45 minutes beforehand. If you have pre-ordered drinks, the official FAQ recommends arriving at least 15 minutes early. Please do not arrive late, as late arrivals may not be able to take part.

Additional Game Information
What is The Traitors: Live Experience?
A live, immersive version of the TV format built around strategy, deception and drama. Players take part with other guests in a real-time experience inspired by the show.
Will I be seated with my group?
Guests who book together are seated together. Shared Table transactions can include up to 8 tickets, and the booking cannot normally be expanded later to guarantee the same table.
What happens if I’m banished or murdered?
Elimination does not end your visit. Banished or murdered players can continue watching the remaining action unfold.
Does the live experience follow the same format as the TV show?
It closely follows the familiar format, with some live-experience surprises. Players take part in missions, build gold for their table and navigate alliances and suspicion around the Round Table.
Will Claudia Winkleman be there in person?
No. Claudia does not host individual sessions in person. A live Host guides players through the experience.
Will I be playing with other people?
Yes. Shared Tables include other guests as well as the people in your booking. You will be seated with your booked group, but will collaborate and compete with others at the Round Table. Most sessions are 18+, with designated Family Friendly sessions available.
Will I have to be a Traitor?
Not necessarily. Roles are assigned by the Host, and players have opportunities to indicate if they would prefer not to take on the Traitor role. Recruitment may also occur during the experience.
What will I be expected to do?
Players work together on missions, discuss suspicions, vote on banishments and try to secure victory as either a Faithful or a Traitor.
What are the missions? Are they physical?
The missions combine mental challenges with some moderately physical tasks. Most of the experience takes place at the Round Table. Guests with specific concerns can contact the experience team in advance.
Do I need to have watched The Traitors TV show?
No. Familiarity with the programme is not required; the Host guides everyone through the experience.
What is the age limit?
Most sessions are 18+. Designated Family Friendly sessions are available for guests aged 12+, with a recommended age of 14+. Guests aged 12–15 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
