## What is Mafia?

Gather your friends in one room and let your phones run the whole game of Mafia (Werewolf). One phone hosts over your local Wi-Fi or a personal hotspot; everyone else joins by scanning a QR code or entering a room code. There is no cloud, no sign-up, and nothing leaves your devices.

The built-in moderator handles everything: it secretly deals roles, runs the night, resolves actions, tallies votes, and calls the winner, so nobody has to sit out as narrator. Play at your own pace: the night ends when every acting role has moved and discussion never forces you forward.

Roles included:
• Villager, Mafia
• Doctor, Detective, Vigilante, Jailer, Sniper

Features:
• Local host-as-server multiplayer over Wi-Fi/hotspot (no internet needed)
• Automatic moderator with anti-cheat secret state
• Configurable role setups with a balance helper and saved presets
• Cinematic reveals, phase soundscapes, narrator voice and captions
• Ghost lounge, replay timeline, and end-game awards
• On-device profiles, XP, stats, themes, and avatars
• Reconnect handling for dropped phones
• Screen-reader labels, large-text support, and colour-safe cues

No accounts. No servers. No tracking. Everything stays on the phones in the room.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-08

What's new in this update:

• Faster, clearer joining. Connecting to a host now times out quickly instead of appearing to hang, and if a phone can't reach the host you'll get a plain message explaining what to check (everyone must be on the same Wi-Fi, or joined to the host's personal hotspot).

• Smoother permissions. The app now explains and asks for Local Network and Camera access up front, so finding nearby games and scanning a room QR code work the first time. If you ever declined, there's a one-tap shortcut to Settings.

• Stability and polish fixes.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-05

Added a quick first-run guide explaining how to host and join games, plus easier sharing so friends can install Mafia before a party.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-26

No release notes.
