Moderator Mode

Overview

The moderator holds a single phone and runs the game. The app replaces the rulebook - it assigns roles, guides each night phase, and tells the moderator what to announce. Results are shared through gestures or by showing the screen.

Preserving Anonymity

Dead and cult-converted players are still called at night if their role is unknown - so no one can deduce eliminations from changes in the wake order. Revealed roles are automatically skipped.

LAN Party

Same moderator, same flow - but every player gets their own screen over local WiFi. No internet needed, no app required for players (though recommended). The moderator still runs the table; players just see their private info on their own phones instead of passing one around.

Don't have a phone? No problem - the moderator can just show you his screen when your turn comes.
