Betrayal

Six contestants are seated around a table with two suitcases containing 50,000 Euros in the center. Each contestant tells the others why they need the money, but their stories can either be true or totally made up. This is the start of 'Betrayal'. In the first round each player casts a vote for the story they believe least and the most-voted contestant is out. The remaining players are then given the chance to show evidence to prove that their stories are true. The others can question them to try and sniff out contradictions or flaws. Over a period of five hours and four voting rounds, the contestants decide whom to eliminate. The reasons for their decisions become more and more complicated and unpredictable as the game progresses. Things like defending one's own interests, forming alliances or eliminating potentially dangerous rivals become more important. To encourage alliances and strategies, the contestants pair off and go into a private chamber called the 'Conspiracy Room'. There they negotiate pacts, criticize the others or try to win a potential ally's trust. When only two finalists are left, the game goes on, but now they have to decide together whether the stories of the eliminated contestants are true or false. Each mistake costs them 10,000 Euros. Once they know how much money they have left, the game reaches its climax. In a final showdown, they have to decide whether to share what's left or keep it all. Will they be loyal to each other and share? Will one of them betray the other and go home with the whole thing? Or will they both decide to keep it and go home empty-handed, victims of their own greed? 'Betrayal' is a psychological game of wits and double-dealing. The players test their ability to lie or see through others' lies. They need both mental and physical stamina to hold up under pressure and stand the long hours of confrontation in the claustrophobic setting of a TV studio. In the final showdown they can use their persuasive talent to win over their opponent's trust or they can decide that all is fair in love and war and double-cross their rival in an attempt to win all the money for themselves.
