And all the more so when we know that the roles of each person were distributed randomly by the production which left each player free will to choose the box they wanted among all those containing the different roles such as the Villagers or Werewolves, but not only that. The mechanics of Werewolves turns out to be much more in-depth than in The Traitors of M6. Thanks to the organization of events (such as bungee jumping), new roles will be gradually introduced to spice up a game that is far from binary.
