History TabletopGame / BetrayalAtHouseOnTheHill

* GameMod - Lots of fan-created content can be found floating around; one notable example are {{Splat}}s and cards for the ScoobyDoo gang.

* ChekhovsHobby - Because of their hobbies, every character is scripted to be the traitor in at least one scenario, unless they're not in play during that game.

* ChekhovsHobby - All of the player characters have specific hobbies, which cause them to be preferred as traitors in certain scenarios. You could say it's relevant to their interests.

* [[MarsNeedsWomen Monster Wants To Marry]]

** The "Missy [=DuBois=]" version of the little girl character already vivisects frogs for fun, [[AllInTheManual according to the manual]].

* FaceHeelTurn - Everyone starts as a goodguy, until the Haunt (which nearly always turns one person into a traitor)

* LootDrama - One particular Haunt, "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Treasure Hunt]]". It's also the only Haunt where there is no Traitor. Rather, everyone is pitted against each other within a now booby-trapped mansion as they try to be the first to find said treasure.

* LootDrama - One particular Haunt, "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Treasure Hunt]]". It's also the only Haunt where there is no Traitor. Rather, everyone is involved in a deliberately invoked LootDrama within a booby-trapped mansion as they try to be the first to find said treasure.

* MacGuffin - Quite a few Haunts involve these, often as the primary means of defeating the Traitor and whatever thing(s) he or she is allied with. One particular Haunt, "Treasure Hunt" is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin; it's also the only Haunt where there is no Traitor.

* GiantSpider - And plenty of other nasty oversized beasties.

* MalevolentArchitecture

* FiveManBand, arguably. There's TheBigGuy, TheSmartGuy (well, if you use the preacher he becomes The Sane Guy instead), and TheChick anyway.
* ForTheEvulz

* IncredibleShrinkingMan

* ManEatingPlant

* {{Mummy}}

* {{Vampire}}s
* [[{{Wolfman}} Werewolves]]
* WickedWitch
* ZombieApocalypse

* FaceHeelTurn

* ItGotWorse - The house is full of creepy omens, hauntings, and ominous rooms. It's even possible to become crippled and teeter on the edge of sanity just by initial exploration, depending on your luck. Then the Betrayal starts...

** Actually, this troper ended up [[spoiler: losing pretty badly to his shrunken enemies. The cat couldn't make the Speed roll to swat down the plane.]]

Sadly, the design is a bit clunky in areas. While plastic minis were included to represent the heroes, monsters are represented by paper punch-out counters (probably because of the sheer amount of creatures that can be involved). Upon the Haunt occurring, Heroes and Traitors must split up to quickly read over their booklets on the scenario, which can cause the game to stall out a bit. Worse yet, the game was originally published with a few ''errors'', leading to even more game-stopping confusion and frustration. Betrayal can prove quite fun with the Errata and the various fan-created content floating around. The second edition fixed most of the problems as well as adding a number of new haunts.
