How to Play
Setting up your Mafia lobby
Enter every participant's name to start the round. The game assigns roles secretly, so don't peek at your neighbor's screen. Mafia controls are simple tap-based interactions, but keep your eyes shut during the night phase. If you open them early, you basically ruin the entire point of the mystery.
How to play Mafia during the day
Once the sun rises, everyone gathers to discuss who acts suspicious. You need to learn how to play Mafia with a sharp tongue because voting someone out based on gut feeling is risky. If you vote wrong, the real killer stays in the game. That’s how you lose.
