Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Mafia and Werewolf?
Mafia uses a Mafia crime family instead of werewolves, and typically features a Detective and Doctor role. The core deduction mechanics are similar, but Mafia has a more urban crime theme.
How many players do you need for Mafia?
Mafia works best with 6–15 players. The AI host can fill seats with AI players if your group is smaller.
Can I customize the Mafia roles?
Yes. When creating your game, you can add or remove roles like Detective, Doctor, or Godfather to suit your group.
Does the AI host keep secrets between players?
Absolutely. The AI manages all private night-action results separately and only reveals information at the right time.
How is this different from Town of Salem?
Town of Salem puts you in public lobbies with strangers and has a slower, queue-based experience. TextGame.ai is built for private games with your own group — create a room in seconds, share a link, and the AI handles all moderation with no human host required.
