Think you can spot a liar in the room — or keep a secret under pressure? Brooklynites will soon have the chance to test their powers of deception as “The Traitors” brings its mind-game mayhem to Williamsburg.

From Jan. 14 through Jan. 22, Peacock’s “The Traitors Experience” will take over Weylin, the ornate former savings bank at 175 Broadway, transforming the landmark into a fully immersive competitive game inspired by the hit series. The limited-run activation arrives just days after the show’s season four premiere on Jan. 8.

Designed as a 60-minute, multi-sensory experience, the game invited groups of friends — or total strangers — to play as either Faithfuls or Traitors while navigating a series of missions built around deception and deduction. According to Peacock, participants can expect “a candlelit game of deceit and manipulation, a puzzle-driven deep dive through Alan Cumming’s iconic wardrobe, and a dramatic finale at the legendary Round Table.”

Set inside the marble-clad rooms of Weylin, the experience leans heavily into the atmosphere. Once inside, players are warned that “one (or more) amongst you carries a treacherous secret,” mirroring the central tension of the series. 

Tickets for the experience are $40 per person, plus fees, and are required for entry. Time slots run nightly, with evening hours on weekdays and expanded hours on weekends.

“The Traitors” has become one of Peacock’s most acclaimed reality series, blending competition, social strategy and murder mystery elements. Hosted by Alan Cumming and set in a remote Scottish castle the show pits reality TV veterans and celebrity contestants against one another as they work to build a prize pit wile secretly trying to expose — or protect — the Traitors hidden among them. Notable winners include Real Housewife of New Jersey Dolores Catania, who hosts an annual celebrity softball game at Coney Island’s Maimonides Park. 

“The Traitors” Experience runs Jan. 14-22 at Weylin, 175 Broadway in Williamsburg. For tickets, click here
