Someone at this table is a killer. Trust no one.

Noir social deduction game

About the game

Everyone is secretly dealt a role: mafia, detective, doctor, or one of a cast of specialists. Each night the killers strike while the town sleeps. By day the survivors argue, accuse and vote.

Bluff your way to victory, or read the room and unmask the guilty before it is too late. No game master needed: the game runs every night and every vote, so everyone gets to play.

Questions

Is it like Mafia or Werewolf?

Yes. The Perfect Murder is inspired by Mafia and Werewolf, with a 1920s noir look and no game master: the app runs the nights and the votes.

Does everyone need to pay?

No. Joining is always free, and so is the solo demo against bots. Your first few hosted games are free too; after that the one-time Host Pass covers everyone at your table.

Do we need to be in the same room?

No. Play in person, each on your own phone, or online over a video call.
