What's New

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

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.
