Mafia / Werewolf
The classic party games the TV format grew out of: a hidden team kills at night and the town votes by day. The Traitors adds missions, a shared prize pot, items, special roles and a host, and plays out in Discord chat.

About the game
What The Traitors Discord Bot is, how it works, and how it compares to Mafia, Werewolf and Town of Salem.
Updated
In short
The Traitors Discord Bot is a free, fan-made social deduction game that brings the TV show The Traitors to Discord. A handful of players are secretly made Traitors and murder one Faithful every night. Everyone else completes missions to build a prize pot and votes at the roundtable to banish who they suspect. Up to 20 people play at once, and AI players with their own personalities fill every empty seat, so a game runs with as few as four friends.
It's played in our Discord server at discord.gg/sCPYu7HZdC, and the rules for every role, mission and item are in the guide.

How it compares
Town of Salem
Also online with many special roles. The Traitors follows the TV show's structure instead (missions, a prize pot and a finale) and fills empty seats with AI players, so a game never needs a full lobby.
Among Us
Action and tasks on a map. The Traitors is all conversation: reading people, building a case and surviving the vote.
Who it's for
Fans of the show
The roundtable, the Turret, the murders, the missions and the fire-pit finale, played rather than watched.
Discord communities
An event your server can gather around in an evening, with stats and a season leaderboard that carry from game to game.
Small groups
Four friends are enough. AI players take the other seats, argue like people, and can turn out to be Traitors.
Questions
Is there a Discord bot for The Traitors?
Yes. The Traitors Discord Bot runs the full game inside Discord: secret Traitors, nightly murders, missions, roundtable votes and a finale. You play it free in our Discord server at discord.gg/sCPYu7HZdC.
Can I play The Traitors online with friends?
Yes. Join the Discord server, sign up when a game opens and bring your friends. Up to 20 people can play, and AI players fill any empty seats, so even a small group of 4 gets a full castle.
How many people do you need?
At least 4 real players. A game seats up to 20; every seat not taken by a person is filled by an AI player.
Is it free?
Yes, completely. There is nothing to buy. Gold, items and titles are all earned by playing.
Is this the official Traitors game?
No. It is a fan-made game inspired by the TV show and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the BBC, Studio Lambert, All3Media or Peacock.
Can I add the bot to my own Discord server?
Not at the moment. Games are run in our own Discord server, which anyone can join for free.
How do games get started?
Each afternoon (UK time) players say they're up for a game on a sign-up board in the server. Once enough people are in, a host announces a game, everyone signs up, and roles are dealt by private message.
How is it different from Mafia, Werewolf or Town of Salem?
It shares their core (a hidden minority eliminating players while everyone else votes to find them) but follows the TV show: missions build a shared prize pot, the game ends at a fire-pit finale where survivors decide whether to end it, and AI players with their own personalities fill the table.
