## What is Mafia Helper?

Everyone closes their eyes. You open the app.

Mafia Helper is the moderator's companion for Mafia, Werewolf and other social deduction party games. It deals the roles, walks you through the night in the right order, and does the kills-versus-saves math the moment you tap Resolve Night. You keep the phone — you take the credit.

DEAL ROLES ON THE PHONE — NO CARDS NEEDED
Players pass the phone around, tap their name and secretly view their role on a flip card. A two-step reveal means nobody glimpses a neighbour's card. Prefer a physical deck? Keep it — just enter who got what.

THE NIGHT RUNS ITSELF
Every waking role gets its own card, in the correct wake order, with the narration line to read aloud. Recording an action is one tap on a player's name, and investigations answer the instant you confirm — ready to whisper.

ONE TAP DOES THE MATH
- Doctor and Bodyguard protection cancels kills — "attacked but saved!"
- Bodyguards fall in place of the player they guarded
- The Godfather reads GOOD to the Detective and the Miller reads EVIL — the app keeps their secrets
- Witch potions and Vigilante shots stay single-use, tracked all game
- Multiple killers resolve independently (the Mafia and the Serial Killer)
Tap Resolve Night and the app announces who died, who got lucky, and what they were.

DAY, VOTES AND WIN CHECKS
Plus/minus vote counters for every player with a live leader and tie detection, one-tap elimination, a discussion timer with pause and +1 minute, private moderator notes on any player, and an automatic win check after every death — Town, Mafia, Jester, Serial Killer or Survivor.

17 ROLES, PLUS YOURS
Evil: Mafia, Godfather, Werewolf. Town: Doctor, Detective, Seer, Bodyguard, Vigilante, Witch, Hunter, Miller, Mason, Civilian, Villager. Neutral: the Jester, who wins by talking you into voting them out; the Serial Killer; and the Survivor, who wins with whoever wins. Build your own custom roles — name, icon, alignment, night action — and they slot into setup, dealing and the night tracker like any other card.

BALANCED FOR ANY TABLE
5 to 20 players. Presets auto-balance the role list for your group size, a balance checker warns about broken setups before you start, and you can save favourite configurations and reuse last game's players in one tap.

AN OPTIONAL VOICE NARRATOR
A dramatic narrator can read phase changes and role calls aloud — or tap the speaker on any night card for that role's wake-up line. Perfect for hands-free moderating.

NOTHING GETS LOST
Every action auto-saves and the screen stays awake while you play. If the game is interrupted, reopen the app and the night resumes exactly where it stopped. Afterwards: a game-over summary with the full roster, a log of every action, death and save, a history with win-rate stats, and one-tap sharing of the result.

OFFLINE, NO ACCOUNT
No sign-up and no connection needed to run a game — everything stays on your device. The app is supported by a small banner ad and an occasional full-screen ad after a game ends, never in the middle of a night. Prefer no ads at all? Mafia Helper Pro removes every ad with a single one-time purchase.

Perfect for parties, sleepovers, camping trips and team events. Grab 5+ friends — someone is lying, and you're about to run the night like you were born to.
