Play free in your browser. No app, no signup. Pass & play.
Looking for a mafia game that’s easy to start and fun to play with friends? This tool turns the classic social deduction experience into a fast, pass-and-play session right in your browser. If you’ve searched who is the mafia, mafia game rules, or mafia game roles, you’re in the right place.
The game cycles through two phases. During the "Night," everyone closes their eyes and the Mafia secretly chooses someone to eliminate. During the "Day," everyone opens their eyes, discusses the night's events, and votes to eliminate the person they suspect is in the Mafia. Special roles like the Doctor or Detective wake up one by one to use their abilities silently.
If you are the Town, you win by finding and voting out every Mafia member by paying close attention to behavioral changes and vote patterns. If you are the Mafia, you win by surviving until you outnumber the Town by blending in, bluffing confidently, and shifting the blame to innocent players.
What makes this version perfect is the UI keeps the game moving. Instead of trying to remember timing or allowing accidental "peeking," each phase is handled step-by-step. Players pass the device at the right moment, so everyone stays aligned. If you like werewolf, you'll recognize the exact same rhythm—just swap the terminology and enjoy!

Mafia is a classic social deduction party game where players are secretly divided into an informed minority (the Mafia) and an uninformed majority (the Town). The Town must figure out who the Mafia members are, while the Mafia tries to eliminate the Town without getting caught.
The game cycles through two phases. During the "Night," everyone closes their eyes and the Mafia secretly chooses someone to eliminate. During the "Day," everyone opens their eyes, discusses the night's events, and votes to eliminate the person they suspect is in the Mafia.
The core rules require players to act only when it is their turn. At night, special roles like the Doctor or Detective wake up one by one to use their abilities silently. During the day, all living players debate openly. Eliminated players are not allowed to speak for the rest of the round.
Playing at home is incredibly easy. You just need a group of friends and a way to assign roles. You can use a physical deck of cards, or you can use our free browser tool on a single phone to automatically handle the roles, night actions, and turn orders for your group.
If you are the Town, you win by finding and voting out every Mafia member by paying close attention to behavioral changes and vote patterns. If you are the Mafia, you win by surviving until you outnumber the Town by blending in, bluffing confidently, and shifting the blame to innocent players.
Werewolf is essentially the exact same social deduction game as Mafia, just with a different theme. Instead of a Mafia and Town, you play as Werewolves and Villagers. If you know the rules of Mafia, you can play Werewolf by following the exact same night-action and day-voting rhythm.
