Decevia — where friends become foes

A hidden-roles party game for 5 to 18 people in the same room, played on your phones. Most of you are on the good team. A few are secretly working against it, and they know who each other are. Five missions decide who wins, and the group chooses who goes on each one, out loud, with no way to prove anything.

Free to play in a browser. No download and no account: one person starts a game, shares the four-letter code, and everyone else joins from their own phone.

How a game works

• 5 to 18 people, free or paid — group size is not part of the plan.
• Everyone is secretly dealt a side: good, or one of the few who are evil and know each other.
• Five missions. Good wins if three succeed; evil wins if three fail.
• Evil also wins if five teams in a row are voted down, without a single mission being played.
• Even after three missions succeed, the evil team gets one guess at who Merlin is.

Five settings

The same game with different character names: Indian Mythology (Pandavas and Kauravas), the Medieval Kingdom of Arthur and Mordred, Egyptian Gods, Greek Mythology, and the Maratha Empire. The rules are identical in all of them.
