The Traitors - BBc One

For BBC One’s The Traitors, Series 1, Design Stage was charged with the technical design and delivery of several large-scale challenge builds, including the giant wicker man structures, the fishing cabin escape-room set and the laser-protected heist room.

The wicker man challenge required two teams to build and ignite fuses within a 30-minute mission, while the cabin challenge was designed around a timed escape-room format, with scenic construction, access, gameplay and camera requirements all needing to work together under production conditions.

For the heist sequence, contestants moved through a laser-filled room to collect prize artefacts, requiring a set that could deliver the visual impact of a high-stakes challenge while remaining practical, repeatable and safe for filming.
