An open-source social deduction platform designed to bring people together through the timeless art of bluffing, reasoning, and reading the room.
Werewolf has been played around campfires, in classrooms, and at parties for decades. Our mission is simple: make it accessible to everyone, anywhere, without friction.
No app downloads. No account creation. No paywalls. Just scan a QR code and play. We believe the best technology is the kind you don't notice — the kind that gets out of the way and lets people connect.
The original Werewolf (also known as Mafia) was created in 1986 by Dmitry Davidoff, a psychology student at Moscow State University. The game was inspired by the paranoia and distrust of Cold War-era politics, where ordinary citizens lived alongside hidden threats.
What started as a student experiment in social dynamics spread across university campuses worldwide, evolving through countless variations and house rules. Today, it's played in over 50 countries and has inspired video games, TV shows, and corporate training programs.
This digital version was built to capture the magic of in-person play while removing the administrative burden. No more shuffling cards, counting votes by hand, or managing complex role assignments. The technology handles the mechanics so the host can focus on what matters: creating a great experience for their players.
Running Werewolf for large groups is logistics-heavy. The host needs to:
One mistake and the game is compromised. We built this platform to eliminate those friction points. The host's only job is to manage the room and read the atmosphere — the system handles everything else.
The project is open source (MIT license), meaning anyone can inspect the code, suggest improvements, or self-host their own instance. We believe transparency is essential for trust, especially in a game about deception.

"I've been hosting Werewolf games for years with physical cards. This eliminates so much hassle. The auto-role assignment and vote tallying alone are worth it."
