Could a strong knowledge of game design help you win The Traitors?

I remember being fascinated by Another Code: Two Memories when I first saw it in the pages of Edge magazine back in the early 2000s. An oddball DS game was always something to pay attention to, but this was one in which the main character had their own DS inside the game too. Or rather, they had a DAS, an in-game gadget that just happened to look exactly like that gorgeously angular first design of the DS. "Is it product placement when it's your own product being placed?" asked Edge, or words to that effect. New worlds and new wonder. I miss the early 2000s.

Open Roads follows a mother and daughter (Opal and Tess) on a road trip after they learn a secret about their recently departed mother/grandmother. What was she hiding from them, and why? Who was she? The promise is an engaging mystery told through slow-burn character development - the kind of set-up that might teach us a thing or two about our lives along the way. Great; I'm all in.
