The Mission

Take on a timed challenge and add Gold to the group’s prize pot. You might trade code words, memorise arrows, complete a number pattern or work together to place your assigned symbols in order.

The Scramble

Choose the billiard room, kitchen or living room for a private group conversation. Compare accounts and decide whom you’ll back at the vote.

The Roundtable

Make your case, then lock a vote to banish one guest. A Loyal guest may be secretly recruited as a Betrayer after a banishment. In Round 4, the host names the banished player and their allegiance stays hidden until The Reveal.
