- Start the Game: Players are assigned roles secretly. Werewolves are informed of their fellow werewolves, but villagers don’t know who the other villagers or werewolves are.
- Night Phase: Werewolves select a player to eliminate, and players with special powers may use them. The game moves to the day phase when all actions are completed.
- Day Phase: Players discuss and deduce who the werewolves might be. A vote is held, and the player with the most votes is eliminated.
- Repeat: Continue the cycle of night and day until all werewolves are eliminated, or werewolves outnumber villagers.
Players use the app's interface to participate in discussions, cast votes, use powers, and follow the game's progression.
