## What is Decoy?

DECOY: THE SOCIAL GAME

Nothing brings a group closer together than a shared secret and a beautifully executed lie. All you need is a group of friends (or enemies) and a willingness to argue just for the sake of it.

If you've played Mafia or Werewolf and loved that feeling of social tension, Decoy was built exactly for that. It is your ultimate toolkit for game night.

THREE GAME MODES

GASLIGHTER: Everyone answers a question, but the Gaslighter secretly receives a different one. Once answers are revealed, the real game begins. The group hunts for the odd answer out. The Gaslighter must convince them it belongs. In real life this is called gaslighting. In Decoy, it's called winning.

MAFIA: The classic game of survival and betrayal. Mafia eliminate players in the night. The Town debate and vote by day. The app guides the narrator through every phase with scripts and sequencing, making it easy to run even if you've never done it before.

IMPOSTER: All players see a secret word. The Imposter sees only a vague hint, or nothing at all. Go around the circle and give one-word clues to prove you know it. Agents must walk the line between obvious and suspicious. The Imposter must read the room, mirror the group, and bluff their way through without ever knowing the word. One wrong clue and the game is up.

More modes in development.

DESIGNED FOR THE CIRCLE

PASS AND PLAY: One device, passed around the circle. The app handles the secrets so no one sees what they shouldn't.

CONNECTED PLAY: Everyone on their own phone, synced in real time across the room.
