With the right people and the right amount of teamwork you can fall in love with this game. I highly recommend this game to fans of strategy board games.
From the press release:

With an estimated one hour playing time, Betrayal at House on the Hill is ideal for parties, family gatherings or casual fun with friends.

@LtGrayson10 You're actually describing how the traitor works in "Shadows over Camelot".
The way the traitor works in Betrayal at House on the Hill works is that (for most scenarios) an event (the "Haunt") triggers the selection of the traitor. Once the traitor is revealed, there's a specific scenario that has to be played out, with the survivors having specific tasks to perform to thwart the traitor, while the traitor has specific tasks to achieve a goal. The traitor is known, but neither side really knows what the other has to do to win (unless, of course, you've played the scenario before). Even if you know the scenario, because the house layout is different with every game, no two games ever play the same.
