While there are always some surprises to change up the game play, The Traitors Season 4 continues the classic rules of the competition reality series.

The 23 players amass at a Scottish castle and work together on surprise missions to build a prize fund worth up to $250,000. Cumming will secretly select a number of players (typically three to four) to play the role of the Traitors, while the rest remain Faithful. The goal of the Traitors is to eliminate the Faithful and claim the money for themselves.

Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors murder the Faithful one by one, while the Faithful try to uncloak the Traitors and banish them from the game during round tables. If the Faithful banish all the Traitors, they share the money. If a Traitor makes it to the end, they steal the winnings.
