Welcome to PlayWerewolf

PlayWerewolf is the easiest way to gather a village and play the classic social deduction game online. No download, no moderator, no deck of cards — just create a room, share the link, and start the night.

What Is Werewolf?

Werewolf is a game of hidden identities. Most players are Villagers trying to survive; a few are Werewolves secretly hunting them. Through discussion, deception, and deduction, the village votes to exile suspects until one side wins.

The game alternates between Night and Day. At night, the Werewolves choose a victim while special roles use their abilities. By day, the village debates and votes — often with accusations flying, alliances forming, and lies unraveling.

Why Play Online?

  • Instant rooms: Create and join in seconds. No account required — play as a guest.
  • AI fill-in bots: Play a full game even when your friends are offline. The AI is deterministic and provides consistent challenge.
  • Cross-device: Phone, tablet, or desktop — it all works in the browser. No install needed.
  • No setup: Roles, timers, and night phases are handled automatically. The app manages everything.
  • Voice or text rooms: Choose narrated AI speech with TTS or silent text-only rooms.
  • Replay every game: Every match is saved. Rewatch, analyze, and share with friends.

Six Game Modes, Endless Variety

PlayWerewolf supports six modes from 6 to 12 players:

  • Classic 6 — A fast, tense game for smaller groups (2 Wolves, 2 Villagers, Seer, Hunter)
  • Classic 9 — The recommended experience (3 Wolves, 3 Villagers, Seer, Witch, Hunter)
  • Classic 12 — Full party mode with 4 Wolves, 4 Villagers, Seer, Witch, 2 Hunters
  • Idiot 9 — Adds the Idiot role, who survives exile but loses their voice
  • Guard 10 — Adds the Guard, who protects one player each night
  • Guard 12 — Every role in the game, maximum complexity

All modes support Quick Match and room creation. AI bots fill empty seats automatically.

Economy and Progression

Every match earns you XP and coins. Level up from 1 to 40, build daily streaks for bonus multipliers, and trigger jackpots for extra coins. Spend coins in the Shop on consumable items, pets, entrance auras, and titles.

Three task boards — Starter, Daily, and Weekly — offer additional rewards for completing objectives.

See how quickly a room comes together and the first night begins.
