About
OverviewMAFIA is a social deduction game where one or more players hiding at the table are secretly killers. During the day everyone argues and votes to eliminate suspects; at night the Mafia hunt their target in first person while roles like the Doctor try to stop them. This guide covers how each phase works, what the roles do, and how to play well on either side.

01
The day-and-night cycle
Step
In short
Every round alternates between a talking-and-voting day phase and an action-filled night phase until one side meets its win condition.
The game runs in a loop of day and night until either all Mafia members are voted out or the Mafia matches or outnumbers the remaining town. During the day, every player sits at the table and the only tools available are words and votes. When night falls, the Mafia switch to a first-person view and move on their chosen target while other roles use their abilities. Whatever happened overnight is revealed when daylight returns, giving everyone new information to argue over.
- Day phase everyone stays seated and discusses who they think the killer is, then votes to remove that person.
- Night phase Mafia players hunt their target in first person while the Doctor and other roles act.
- Reveal the outcome of the night is shown at the start of the next day, resetting the debate.
02
Roles and which side they serve
TableIn short
There are 16 roles split between the Mafia team and the town.
There are 16 roles split between the Mafia team and the town. Mafia members know who their allies are and cooperate, while town roles each carry a secret ability and work independently. The Doctor can protect one player every night, shielding them from a Mafia kill. The Detective can learn information about another player's role.
| Mafia | works with fellow killers to reduce the town until they are equal in number or greater |
| Town (general) | finds and votes out Mafia members before being outnumbered |
| Doctor | saves one chosen player each night from a Mafia attack |
| Detective | gathers role information on other players |

Winning as a town player
Tips
In short
Cross-referencing what people say against what actually happened overnight is the sharpest tool a town player has.
The town wins by voting out every Mafia member before the numbers tip against them. That means using every scrap of information from the night reveals and from what other players claim. Listen for contradictions between a player's stated role and the results the town can see. Pooling testimony from multiple players makes it far harder for a single liar to stay hidden.
Tips worth knowing
- Track whether a player's story lines up with the night's outcome each time they speak.
- Compare role claims against the Doctor's reports and any Detective findings shared publicly.
- Build agreement with players whose stories have stayed consistent across several rounds.
05
Playing as Mafia
Check
In short
Mafia players win by keeping the town's trust while quietly coordinating with their team each night.
When you are assigned a Mafia role you can coordinate with your fellow Mafia members to pick targets and share plans. In public, behave the way an innocent player would — join discussions and cast votes that look reasonable. If the Doctor is protecting the target you had in mind, change targets rather than waste the kill.
- Before each night phase, agree with your Mafia partners on who to target.
- Factor in who the Doctor might be guarding and adjust your target if needed.
- Back your fellow Mafia members' statements in daytime chat without making it look coordinated.
- If suspicion lands on you, redirect it toward a genuine contradiction from someone else rather than arguing defensively.
06
Win conditions at a glance
SummaryIn short

- Town victory all Mafia members voted out
- Mafia victory town reduced to the same number as the Mafia or fewer
- End screen shows each player's role and the match outcome
- Private servers data does not save there

Common questions
FAQWhat should I do on my first night as Mafia?
Coordinate with your Mafia partners to pick a target. During the day that follows, act like a concerned town member — join the discussion and vote convincingly.
Why isn't my progress saving?
Data does not save when you play in a private server. Switch to a public server if you want your results to be recorded.
When does the game end?
The round ends immediately once one side meets its condition: either the town votes out all Mafia members, or the Mafia reduces the town to the same size or smaller. A results screen then shows every player's role.
