The Traitors Christmas Cracker Game

What’s in the Box:

  • 6 Christmas crackers, each with:

    • 1 Role card

    • 1 Gold token

    • 1 Mission card

    • 1 Joke

    • 1 Party hat

  • Set of instructions


Gameplay Rundown: The Traitors Christmas Crackers is a party game of trust, suspicion, and deduction, inspired by the popular TV show. In each round, players must uncover the hidden Traitor among them before they’re eliminated themselves. The game unfolds over three thrilling stages:

  1. Missions: Players compete in mini-games to win protection from the Traitors’ next attack.

  2. Banishment: All players discuss and vote, trying to expose a Traitor lurking among them.

  3. Murder: Traitors strike, “eliminating” a Faithful and narrowing the field.





Replay-ability and Sustainability: The game encourages replay-ability. Once the crackers are opened, players can save and reuse the components, making it both eco-friendly (100% recyclable, plastic-free) and cost-effective for repeated play.


Thoughts: The Traitors Christmas Crackers injects some drama and intrigue into holiday festivities. Perfect for fans of hidden role games and the TV show, it’s a fantastic way to break the ice and stir up laughter and suspense. The crackling tension between Faithful and Traitors keeps players on their toes, with enough variability to keep each game fresh.


Replay ability: Does this game get old quickly, or would you find yourself wanting to play it over and over again? Generally, one-shot wonders won't score well with us, but this is replay able (just without the cracker element)

Production Value: For a cracker game this is pretty good


Theme: I like it, who doesn't like a traitor game that is easy to pick up?


Complexity: Not complex, you do not have to have seen the TV show to understand this, especially if your into boardgames!


Rules: so so easy, everyone was playing within minutes.


Uniqueness: Not unique as there are other similar games BUT if your new to boardgames and like the TV show then you will love it, plus other hidden traitor themed games


Value: good value, great fun at christmas and added value it is replay able outside of the crackers
