The Game
Mafia is a social deduction game. Players are secretly assigned roles — most are innocent Civilians, but hidden among them are Mafia members trying to eliminate everyone.
The game alternates between Night (Mafia acts in secret) and Day (everyone debates and votes). Civilians win by eliminating all Mafia. Mafia Team wins by outnumbering city team.
Setup
- One person opens this app on a laptop/tablet — this is the Host
- A room code and QR code appear on screen
- Other players scan the QR code or enter the code on their phones
- Host starts the game once everyone has joined
- Roles are secretly dealt to each phone
Roles

Mafia-aligned sleeper. Does not wake at night. If voted out, takes one player down.
Choose one player to protect each night.
Investigate one player each night to learn their allegiance.
Wakes with the Mafia — sees their identities and target. But appears as Mafia to the Detective.
Find and vote out the Mafia during the day.

Tips
- —Keep the host device visible and volume up — it narrates the game aloud
- —Never show your phone screen to anyone
- —Dead players must stay completely silent — no hints allowed
- —As Detective, be careful about revealing your findings — Mafia will target you
- —As Spy, cross-reference your intel with Detective to narrow down suspects
- —As Mafia, act normal. Accuse others. Create doubt and chaos.
- —Voting out Terrorist is risky — they take an innocent player down with them
- —Minimum 4 players. Best with 8-12.
