Four classic roles
Mafia, Doctor, Detective and Villagers. The mafia count is automatic (about a quarter of the players) or fixed, and the doctor and detective can be switched off.
Mafia and Werewolf game bot for Discord: secret roles, night kills, day votes
Mafia brings the classic social deduction game, also known as Werewolf, to your server. Players join a lobby, get a secret role by DM, the mafia picks a victim at night while the doctor protects and the detective investigates, and by day everyone discusses and votes someone out. BotGG runs the timers, the votes and the win checks, so nobody has to be the narrator.

What you get
Roles by DM, with a fallback
Every player gets a role card by DM. Closed DMs are no problem: the My role button and /mafia role open the same private panel in the channel.
Night and day on timers
Night actions are picked from a menu, discussion and voting have their own timers, and a phase ends early as soon as everyone has acted or voted.
Public vote with a live tally
By day players vote from a menu on the phase message, can change their vote, and see the tally live. Skipping the vote can be allowed, and a tie eliminates nobody.
Private mafia thread
The mafia gets a private thread to plan. Teammates see each other’s night picks, a dead member is removed, and the thread is locked when the game ends.
Stats, leaderboard and coins
Wins, games, saves and finds per member, a server leaderboard, and optional Bank coins for playing and for winning.
How it works
Set up the game channel
Open https://console.botgg.app, choose your server and turn on Mafia in the Engagement section. Pick the game channel, player counts, timers, roles and rules, with a live preview of the lobby and night panel.
Open a lobby
Anyone (or only staff, if you prefer) runs
/mafia start. The lobby lists players and the role line-up, and fills up through the Join button until the timer runs out or the host starts.Play nights and days
BotGG deals the roles, runs each night and day, narrates who died and counts the votes. Dead players can spectate and, if you allow it, see every role.
Results and rankings
When the town or the mafia wins, the results post every role and fate.
/mafia statsand/mafia leaderboardkeep the bragging rights going.
A game that never loses its place
The whole game lives in the database, so a bot restart picks up exactly where it stopped, and every phase moves only once even when buttons, the timer and staff act at the same moment. Staff can push the game to the next phase with /mafia next or cancel it, and the console shows the live game, the public log, the full history of past games and the leaderboard.
Games need at least 4 players. Free servers play with up to 10 players per game, Pro servers with up to 20. Flows can open a lobby and react when a game starts, a player is eliminated or a team wins.

Frequently asked questions
How do I play Mafia on Discord?
Turn on Mafia in the BotGG console and pick a game channel. Someone runs /mafia start, players click Join, and BotGG deals roles and runs every night, day and vote.
Is this the same as Werewolf?
Yes, it’s the same social deduction game. The mafia are the werewolves, the town are the villagers, and the doctor and detective (the seer) work the same way.
How many players do I need?
At least 4. You choose the minimum and maximum, up to 10 players on Free and up to 20 on Pro.
What if a player has DMs closed?
They can still play. The My role button and /mafia role show their role and night action privately in the channel.
Can people watch without playing?
Yes, with /mafia spectate. Dead players can see every role if you allow it, and you decide separately whether outside spectators may.
