Notes
  1. After the round table in Episode 3, the Traitors were tasked to nominate three players of their choice to go inside a coffin where the Traitors would nail one of them shut, sealing their fate as that round’s murder. The Traitors decided to murder Jeremy.
  2. At the beginning of the game, Alan offered the players a chance for Rob to enter the game by shaking his hand. If someone were to accept this offer, they would have to exile another player of their choice. Nobody took the offer, and thus Rob was exiled.
  3. 1 2 3 Derrick and Wes, along with the returning Rob, were introduced to the game in Episode 2. Upon their introduction, they could not be voted for or murdered that night. They were also not allowed to vote at the round table that night.

1Row a Viking longboat to the other side of the loch. As players progressed, they paused at pontoons to gather fuel and gold. To collect these items, two players had to be shackled to the pontoon, putting them at risk of being murdered. At the end of the loch, any players and gold inside the giant ring of fire were safe from murder, and the money was added to the prize fund.60 minutes$$$

2Collect and deposit gold coins. Three players who would be intruders were suspended in cages in the woods. Sacks containing gold coins were hanging from the trees. The team had to collect the coins and decide which player to release by placing the coins in one of three tubes. Each player released within the time limit received a shield that they could give to anyone of their choice.$$$ (of )Dylan

3Navigate through a fun house with a balloon. Players formed pairs to transport a golden balloon through a fun house without popping it. Each balloon was worth $. Only one safe route existed to reach the end. Players had to choose one of four doors to pass through. Selecting the correct door allowed them to continue, while an incorrect choice meant the balloon was popped by a horror clown. The first pair to navigate the doors successfully received shields.$$ ofShield not won
