What's New

Mafia ships fast. Everything below is live right now — no updates to install, just refresh and play.

September 2026

Share to earn Premium

Sharing your result at the end of a game now carries your own invite link. When a new player joins through it and finishes a game, you get a free 48-hour Premium Pass — up to 12 AI bots, the Godfather role, and no ads. No account needed, it just lands on your device.

August 2026

The Bodyguard finally works

The Bodyguard now truly dies in place of whoever they guard — the charge survives the attack and the Bodyguard doesn't. Until now they quietly acted as a second Doctor, blocking kills at no cost.

Fairer bots

Bot Vigilantes and Bodyguards no longer secretly know who the Mafia are. They now read the room the way you do — who has been accused and voted against — instead of acting on hidden information.

Steadier phases

Fixed a rare timing bug where a phase could advance twice at once, skipping a round or briefly desyncing the game.

July 2026

Curated Game Nights

Game Night rooms can now come pre-configured by the organizer — longer day phases, chaos twists, harder bots — so the community game plays the same for everyone, no matter who arrives first.

Community Game Nights

Scheduled weekly games for everyone. A countdown on the home page flips to a LIVE join button at game time — tap it and you land in the same public game as everyone else.

Premium Membership

A monthly subscription (via Whop) with up to 12 AI bots per game, the exclusive Godfather role, and a completely ad-free experience. One-click activation — subscribe, tap "Activate via Whop," done.

Chaos Events

An optional twist deck for your games: Full Moon (the Detective learns exact roles), Bloodlust (the Mafia may claim two victims), and Town Hall (one accusation forces a trial). Set it to Mild or Wild in game settings.

Last Words & Awards

Eliminated players leave one final testament, read aloud to the room. Game over now hands out superlatives — Best Liar, Sherlock, Witch Hunt, and Survivor — computed from how everyone actually played.

The Big Screen

Open letsplaymafia.com/screen/YOURCODE on a TV: QR code for joining, live phase board, a graveyard of death stories, vote reveals, and the final role reveal. It narrates the whole game out loud.

In-Person Mode overhaul

A deep narrator voice runs the game — phase announcements with time limits, AI-written death stories read aloud. Games start at just 5 players, roles hide behind hold-to-peek shields, and phones stay awake during play.

Bulletproof reconnects

Wifi blip? Locked phone? The game silently reconnects and your seat is always yours to reclaim — even if a bot filled in while you were gone. Grace periods now match how phones actually behave.

Smarter Mafia bots

Bot mafia now coordinate their kills like a real crew instead of squabbling over targets. Nights are deadlier and games resolve at the proper pace.
