About This Game

Mafia.gg is purpose-built for online Mafia games and does the job exceptionally well. The platform handles all the mechanics that traditionally require a narrator: night phase actions, role assignments, day/night cycle timing, and vote counting. This lets every player be an active participant rather than someone sitting out to manage the game.

The platform supports an impressive variety of roles beyond the basic Mafia and Villager: Cop (investigates players), Doctor (saves players), Vigilante (kills independently), Godfather (appears innocent to investigations), and many more. Game creators can customize exactly which roles are in play, creating setups that range from beginner-friendly (few roles, short games) to incredibly complex (dozens of special roles, extended games with faction dynamics).

Mafia.gg's interface is clean and intuitive. Day phases show a text chat for discussion, a voting panel, and a timer. Night phases prompt role holders to make their choices. Everything is organized and clear, even for first-time players. The platform is completely free, runs in any browser, and requires no account for basic play. For groups that want to play Mafia online without downloading apps or learning complicated new systems, Mafia.gg is the gold standard.

How to Play

  1. Create a game room

    Visit mafia.gg, create a new game, and customize the setup — choose roles, timers, and game rules.

  2. Invite players

    Share the room link with friends. Everyone joins and readies up in the lobby.

  3. Night phase

    Mafia members vote on who to kill. Special roles (Cop, Doctor) use their powers. The system handles everything.

  4. Day phase

    Results are announced. Players discuss suspicions in the text chat and propose votes against suspects.

  5. Vote and repeat

    Players vote to lynch a suspect or skip. Night and day cycles continue until one side wins.
