[1][2] Following the premise of other versions of De Verraders, the show features a group of contestants participating in a game similar to the party game Cluedo and Mafia as they stay in a historic luxury hotel.

[5] Among them are the "Traitors" – a small group of contestants selected by host Rodger Corser on the first day, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithfuls and claim the prize for themselves.

Each night, the Traitors come together and decide upon one Faithful contestant to "murder" – and that person will leave the game immediately.

The group then take part in a mission to win money for the prize fund (awarded in the form of silver bars).

In some episodes, the group also participates in a Shield challenge to win individual player immunity from elimination.

In the second season, the shields only awarded immunity from murder.The second season introduced the Armoury, a hidden room in which in some episodes offered players from the winning team of the day's mission to be rewarded with the chance for one player is secretly awarded the shield of protection, which gives the player immunity from being murdered, but not the banishment vote.

[9][10] On 28 April 2023, the show was officially announced for renewal for a second season[11] which premiered on 13 August 2023.
