ARE you among the 9million people hooked on BBC One reality show The Traitors?
The big final of the trust and treachery show hits our screens this Friday, so why not host a themed viewing party full of mystery, betrayal and fun?
INTRIGUING INVITES: Create digital invitations, using the easy — and free — templates at canva.com.
Add cryptic messages such as “Your presence is requested . . . but can you be trusted?”
DECOR DEAL: Transform your entertaining space into a moody manor house without spending a fortune.
Use candles to set the scene, and decorate with red and black accents from leftover party supplies.
Old books, fake scrolls, or vintage trinkets from a charity shop make perfect props.
For an extra touch, make your own house crest using cardboard and paint as a table centerpiece.
FAITHFUL FOOD: Go for a highland feast, which won’t cost lots, to feed hungry guests.
Hearty stew and crusty bread is a good option that fits with the manor vibe.
Create Traitors-themed drinks by adding a dash of food colouring to prosecco to create a Faithful Fizz and serve in skull goblets, £1.49 from The Range.
CLOAK AND DAGGER COSTUMES: Encourage guests to dress the part.
Hit the charity shops for costume jewellery and dark material or clothes that can be used for capes.
As the host, make like presenter Claudia Winkleman, with lots of black eyeliner and a pair of fingerless gloves.
GAME OF DECEPTION: Assign Faithful or Traitor players using slips of paper, and create a backstory to read aloud for the evening.
You can add riddles or secret missions.
You could even hide a gold necklace in the house for players to find, granting the finder protection from the next round of banishment!
If you want more of the full Traitors experience, the official Goliath Games board game (usually £26.99), is £19.99 on Amazon.
