What is Witch Hunt?

Witch Hunt is a social deduction game where players are divided into two teams: innocent Villagers and hidden Witches. During the day phase, all players discuss and vote to eliminate someone they suspect is a witch. During the night phase, witches secretly choose a villager to eliminate.

The game continues in day/night cycles until either all witches are eliminated (villagers win) or witches equal or outnumber villagers (witches win). Success requires reading people, building alliances, and convincing others of your innocence - or guilt!

How to Play Witch Hunt

1️⃣

Secret Roles

Each player secretly views their role on their phone. Most are Villagers, but a few are Witches. Special roles like Seer or Hunter may also appear to help the village.

2️⃣

Day Discussion

During the day, all players discuss who they suspect. Share observations, defend yourself, or accuse others. Witches will try to deflect suspicion onto innocent villagers.

3️⃣

Voting Phase

After discussion, everyone votes to eliminate one player. The player with the most votes is out and their role is revealed. Did you eliminate a witch or an innocent villager?

4️⃣

Night Actions

At night, everyone "sleeps" (closes eyes). Witches wake and secretly choose a villager to eliminate. Special roles may also act. Then a new day begins with more discussion!
