How to play Mafia and Werewolf

The Perfect Murder is a social deduction party game in the Mafia and Werewolf family. A hidden minority knows each other; the village must identify them through discussion and voting.

The game loop

  • Role reveal: each player privately learns their identity and objective.
  • Night: the Mafia chooses a victim while special roles investigate, protect or interfere.
  • Dawn: the result of the night is revealed to the group.
  • Day: players discuss, accuse and defend themselves before voting.
  • The cycle repeats until the village or Mafia meets its win condition.

No one has to moderate

The real-time game engine deals roles and resolves every action automatically, so nobody has to sit out as narrator or game master. Hosts can configure roles, timers and optional house rules before the game begins.
