| A 2.5-ton wooden Trojan horse had to be pulled along a path through four locked gates to a fire pit in order to be set alight. At each gate, players had to solve a puzzle or sacrifice a shield in order to move forward. The first gate required players to answer the question "How many people died in Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet and Hamlet combined?" and enter the result into a numeric lock. The second required solving a Klotski puzzle to release a key. The third gate presented players with 16 words and required them to choose the 4 words that were unlike the others. The fourth and final gate, which could only be bypassed by forfeiting two shields, presented players with 18 symbols and required them to remember the 3 symbols that had unknowingly been visible on the previous gates and place them in the correct order. | 30 minutes | £15,000 | £15,000 | £15,000

| 2 | Players had to identify who amongst them was unknowingly poisoned the night before through a series of clues. They were presented with 3 coffins meant for 3 players the Traitors had chosen: the murder victim (Paloma) and two decoys (Niko & Lucy). For each coffin, up to 3 clues were offered based on the celebrity's past, with £3,000 awarded for a correct identification after only 1 clue, and £500 deduced for each additional clue. After the coffins were filled, another £4,000 were awarded if the murder victim was then correctly identified. | No time limit | £4,500 | £13,000 | £19,500

| 3 | Players were locked and chained to a ring located at the centre of a cabin. Keys were required to release each individual, with £500 awarded for every successful release.

| 4 | Players were divided into two teams. The forest team had to find banshees, memorize their wails, and recreate the wail into a water well. The garden team heard these recreations by submerging their heads underwater in another well, and had to match each melody to one in a named locket to identify the banshee. £1,000 were awarded for each correct match. Two shields were on offer, hidden in the garden. | 30 minutes | £4,000 | £5,000 | £31,500

| 6 | The players faced an giant chess board featuring their names. The celebrities split into two teams. Each team was required to respond to questions that the Traitors had been asked the previous night and position a headstone on the name of the player they thought the Traitors had chosen. After a series of rounds, the team with the most correct answers were granted a shield. | £5,000 | £5,000 | £43,500

| 7 | Players worked in pairs to cross an unstable and incomplete wooden bridge, with one player attempting the crossing, and the other guiding from the opposite end. The crossing player earned money by safely walking past the four £500 markers along the way. Midway, a shield bag hanging overhead had to be retrieved, carried to the gap at the end of the bridge, and successfully thrown to their teammate for an additional £500. If the crossing player fell along the way, only the earnings accumulated from the passed markers were banked. Guiding players who caught the bag then chose a player's portrait to place in a single shield-shaped frame. After all the pairs had completed the mission, the portrait that remained in the frame was awarded the shield. | £10,000 | £10,000 | £53,500

| 8 | Players had to carry six of 19 mannequin heads modelled after the show participants from one end of the room to the six mannequin bodies lacking heads at the other, while avoiding laser beams that crisscrossed the room. If a player broke a beam, an alarm triggered and the player had to discard their head and start over with another. Certain lasers could be deactivated via buttons located along the route. £2,000 were awarded for each successful match, with an additional £2,000 awarded if all six statues received heads. | 20 minutes | £14,000 | £14,000 | £67,500

| Finale | The Traitors Express was boarded by the five finalists, who were required to progress through the carriages in search of keys. Four locked crates were located in the fifth and final carriage, each containing £5,000 worth of gold. Prior to the train's arrival at the end of the line, the crates needed to be successfully unlocked and the gold collected. Claudia needed to be reached before the crates, also containing explosives, were detonated. | 20 minutes | £20,000 | £20,000 | £87,500
