The Traitors Interactive Game Book is out today. I wasn’t sure what to expect with it, so I was quite surprised to discover it’s basically a Choose Your Own Adventure gamebook as you negotiate your way through a game of The Traitors. There’s an interesting mechanic in that if you lose, you only have to go back to the beginning of that day rather than the beginning of the game, so no real need to hold your finger on the previous page in case you make a bad decision.
It also includes bonus content, the missions are replaced by various knock-off versions of popular social deduction games you can play with friends with a pack of cards and slips of paper.
The writing is quite witty, as you’d expect from The Word‘s Alan Connor, some quite amusing jokes and observations on What Other People Are Like from your perspective as a player.
I’ve only “done” Day One so far as it came out at midnight, but if that sounds interesting to you you can download it instantly on Kindle for a tenner, other bookshops are available.
It’s currently on an Amazon Flash Sale right now, only £7.50 for the hardcover version.
