The puzzle book features iconic settings as well as tricky searches in a Where's Wally style format. For fans of the show, they have also teased a Traitor-like twist suitable for all.

The Traitors is back on the BBC next month with a celebrity version, hosted by Claudia Winkleman. Alan Carr, Cat Burns, Celia Imrie, Charlotte Church, Clare Balding, David Olusoga, Joe Marler, Joe Wilkinson, Jonathan Ross, Kate Garraway, Lucy Beaumont, Mark Bonnar, Nick Mohammed, Niko Omilana, Paloma Faith, Ruth Codd, Stephen Fry, Tameka Empson and Tom Daley will all take part in the new series, where they will compete to win up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.

Speaking about the success of The Traitors, Claudia said earlier this year: "We didn’t foresee this. We went to Scotland with the amazing people who make it and a pair of red fingerless gloves and gave it our best shot. I think people like it because the psychology is extraordinary – just watching people work out whether they’re being lied to. The dynamics feel addictive. I’m completely obsessed.

"I don’t think there’s a formula [to win]. I wish there were. Although, actually, I’m really pleased there isn’t, because then people would know how to win. I do think the power of persuasion is everything. I also think you have to have a lot of empathy."

Claudia also insisted she doesn't like the idea that anyone who's a Traitor is "bad".

"I don’t like the narrative that Faithfuls are good and Traitors are bad. I wouldn’t make anyone a Traitor who didn’t ask to be one. That would be unfair. The Traitors are just as lovely, and that’s what for me makes it so compelling. I really want the Faithfuls to find one, and I also really want the Traitors to get away with it," she explained.
