What it does
Draft a team from the castle, score every banishment and murder automatically, and settle who actually read the season right.
Currently
Live at playtraitorsfantasy.com, hosted separately from k8mak.com, built for The Traitors: New Blood premiering 17 September 2026. Forked from BBFantasy, so it inherited a working Supabase and Stripe stack and needed a de-forking pass rather than a build. Members play free and only the commissioner pays $7. The current strategic question is not a product one: the site is finished and good and search cannot find it, so the work is distribution.

How it's built
How I built it
I built PlayTraitorsFantasy because The Traitors is a game about reading people, and a fantasy league is the only honest way to score whether you actually read them right. You draft from the castle, and the platform scores every banishment and murder for you, so the league runs itself and the group chat can go back to arguing.
It is the third of these I have built, after SurvivorTribes and BBFantasy, and the interesting part was finding out what a fork really costs. The rename was cheap. The correctness was not: hardcoded season constants, a database constraint still pinned to the old show's house, colour tokens carrying the parent's theme, and a running-totals chart that had inherited a defect nobody had noticed in the original. "Copy carefully and note where the original lives" is a fine strategy at three sites and would not be at four.
The honest lesson, though, is one I did not expect to be writing. This site was technically finished a week before its premiere: every route prerendered with real titles and structured data, cast pages carrying research no rival had, a sitemap of 168 URLs, all of it fast and accessible. And it was invisible. Search for a Traitors fantasy league and you get four competitors and not this. Built, indexed, and linked-to are three different claims, and I had only earned the first one. The remaining work on this project is not a feature. It is telling people it exists.
