What is Secret Hitler?

Secret Hitler is a social deduction party game set in 1930s Germany. Players are divided into two teams: Liberals (the majority) and Fascists (the minority). One Fascist is secretly Hitler — and nobody knows who.

Each round, players elect a President and Chancellor who draw policy cards and must enact one. Liberals want to pass Liberal policies and identify Hitler before it's too late. Fascists want to pass Fascist policies — or get Hitler elected Chancellor after enough Fascist policies are enacted. It's a game of trust, betrayal, and political deception.

Roles Explained

Secret Hitler has three roles:

On TextGame.ai, the AI Game Master assigns roles secretly at the start — you don't need to deal cards or have a moderator.

How to Play — Rules Step by Step

1. 1

   Setup

   Roles are assigned secretly. Liberals don't know who anyone is. Fascists know each other and Hitler. Hitler doesn't know who the other Fascists are.

2. 2

   Nominate Government

   The President (rotates each round) nominates a Chancellor. The previous President and Chancellor cannot be Chancellor again.

3. 3

   Vote

   All players vote Ja (approve) or Nein (reject) on the proposed government. If rejected, the next player becomes President and nominates again. Three rejections in a row enacts a random policy.

4. 4

   Enact Policy

   If approved, the President draws 3 policy cards, discards 1 secretly, and passes 2 to the Chancellor. The Chancellor discards 1 and enacts the other — adding it to the board.

5. 5

   Special Powers

   After certain Fascist policies are enacted, the President gains powers: peek at 3 policies, investigate a player's loyalty, choose the next President, or assassinate a player (revealing their role).

6. 6

   Repeat

   A new President is chosen and the cycle continues until a team wins.

Strategy Tips

As a Liberal

• Track policies. Count how many Liberal vs Fascist policies have been enacted. If a President-Chancellor pair keeps enacting Fascist policies, one or both may be Fascist.
• Test with nominations. Nominate suspected Liberals as Chancellor to see if they enact Liberal policies. Fascists may be forced to pass Fascist policies when they have no choice.
• Watch voting patterns. Fascists often vote Nein on Liberal governments to stall. Liberals voting Ja on suspicious governments may be Fascists trying to look innocent.
• Use investigation wisely. If you get the investigate power, share (or strategically withhold) what you learn to help the team.

As a Fascist

• Blend in. Act like a Liberal. Accuse others, express concern about Fascist policies, and vote Ja on some Liberal governments to build trust.
• Support Hitler subtly. Don't make it obvious. Vote for Hitler when it seems natural. Help them get elected Chancellor after 3 Fascist policies.
• Create chaos. Vote Nein on Liberal governments. Spread doubt about who the real Fascists are. Get Liberals to suspect each other.
• Protect Hitler. If you have the assassination power, don't kill Hitler. Eliminate confirmed Liberals or key investigators.
