Inside Science explores the science and mathematics of games: why we play them, how to win them, and the rise of gamification in our lives – with a special focus on Traitors – in a special live audience program at the Green Man Festival in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons). Presenter Victoria Gill explores whether humans are innately wired to play games with Jilly Forrester, Professor of Evolutionary and Developmental Psychology at the University of Sussex, and explores how maths can help us strategize and win at games with mathematician and maths communications specialist Dr Katie Steckles. We face the prisoner's dilemma with TV presenter Jazz Singh of Traitors Season 2 fame: will he share or steal? Jazz also dives into the exciting world of The Traitors, discussing its gameplay, stakes, and what makes Faithful effective!
