A typical game lasts 20-30 minutes in Short Form mode. This makes it perfect for quick rounds at parties or extended game nights with multiple sessions.

Question 5

What makes Shadows different from Allies?

Accepted Answer

Shadows know who the other Shadows are from the start, giving them a secret advantage. Allies start knowing nothing and must work together to identify and eliminate all Shadows through discussion and voting.

Question 6

What happens during the Night phase?

Accepted Answer

While Allies sleep, Shadows secretly vote to either Kill an Ally (eliminating them) or Recruit one (attempting to convert them to the Shadow team). The recruited player can accept or refuse the offer.

Question 7

Is Betrayal like The Traitors TV show?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Betrayal captures the same tension as The Traitors TV show. Like The Traitors, players are secretly divided into two teams: the trustworthy (Allies/Faithfuls) and the deceptive (Shadows/Traitors). Shadows secretly eliminate Allies at night while trying to avoid detection during the day. If you love The Traitors, Betrayal lets you play a similar experience with your friends on your phone.
