    If you enjoy the game you should check out The Traitors with its many international variants. I was surprised to read that the productions provide psychologists to help the contestants as it gets traumatic, but when I watched the first UK season there were a lot of people getting into emotional distress.

    There have been a lot of people cast who really shouldn’t be on the show; it’s just a game!

        The biggest difference of the TV show versus the home game is the home game just ends whenever all the killers are found. The TV show has to reach a set number of episodes, so there are mechanisms built-in to make sure there’s always at least one traitor up to the final episode.

          I actually did try watching a bit of it, and while I love the idea of it, I can’t stand the length they make it due to the reality tv show.

          It just drags on and on.

          If they’d made them 30-40 minute episodes instead of an hour I might have liked it.

            I guess it depends which version you watch; I think the U.S. and Canada versions are 44 minutes without commercials, but yeah, it does have some filler. When someone’s actually good at the strategy it can be interesting hearing them talk through their plans.
