Mafia: Night Council

Night Council is a social deduction game for friends gathered in the same place, with every player using their own iPhone.

One person creates a password-protected room. Everyone else chooses it from the online room list and joins with the same password. The dedicated server assigns roles and keeps night actions, day discussions, secret votes, and results in sync across every device.

■ GROUP PLAY FOR 5–20 PEOPLE Each player joins the same game from their own iPhone.

■ FOUR SECRET ROLES Free rooms use Mafia and Citizen roles. A 1-day premium room can also include Detectives, who investigate a player’s team at night, and Doctors, who protect a target from attack.

■ FREE ROOMS AND THE 1-DAY PARTY PACK Free rooms can run for up to 3 hours after creation. Rooms created while the Party Pack is active can use Detective and Doctor roles, have no 3-hour limit after the game starts, and are ad-free for everyone in the room. The Party Pack is a one-time purchase and does not renew automatically. Every room that has not started closes 1 hour after creation.

■ NIGHT CHOICES FOR EVERYONE From the second night, every surviving player chooses someone in the same way. Watching how a person uses their phone will not easily reveal a special role.

■ TRULY SECRET VOTING Individual choices and vote totals stay hidden until the game is over. A tie for first place automatically starts a runoff vote.

■ RECONNECT AND KEEP PLAYING After a brief network interruption, you can return with the same seat and role. If the host disconnects, another connected player can inherit the controls and continue the game.

■ TEAM WIN-RATE RECORDS Completed games are saved on the device, with separate statistics for the Citizen and Mafia teams.

No account or phone number is required. An internet connection is required. Free rooms include a banner ad at the bottom of the screen and one interstitial ad after a game has fully ended.

We recommend playing at a gathering where everyone can see and talk to each other. The app has no text or voice chat.
