## What is Town of Salem?

The game ranges from 7 to 15 players. These players are randomly divided into alignments – Town, Mafia, Coven, Serial Killers, Arsonists and Neutrals. If you are a Town member (the good guys) you must track down the Mafia and other villains. The catch? You don’t know who is a Town member and who is a villain. If you are an evil role, such as a Serial Killer, you secretly work against the town members in the veil of night and try to avoid getting caught.

### 5/5 — Best social deduction game ever

*2026-08-15*

I absolutely LOVE this games social deduction aspect, specifically because so many evil roles can imitate a town role that helps them sound like they’re actually innocent, even though in reality they’re not just because their role leaves room for ACTUAL deception. Which is something I’ve always struggled to find in most deception games as it’s usually just “someone’s a killer, everyone else is innocent, and MAYBE there’s a detective or something idk”. Essentially, this game gives actual life to the genre. In conclusion, I highly recommend playing this game, it’ll take you a while to learn everything, and even then you won’t be the BEST, but it’ll be wayyyy more fun.

### 1/5 — Laggy

*2026-08-08, version 3.3.15 (14723)*

Get the mf lag sorted out (pls)

### 1/5 — Greedy

*2026-07-16, version 3.3.15 (14723)*

Used to be a great game, ruined with ads and it says you have to pay on the website now. Sad

### 1/5 — Slow and not clear

*2026-07-03, version 3.3.15 (14723)*

It was really slow to load.  Slow play pace.  I tried reading any rules but nothing ever loaded (using 1gb WiFi).  And the first thing that always happened was I got killed.

### 1/5 — Worst moderation ever

*2026-06-06, version 3.3.15 (14723)*

Racists and gamethrowers don't even get banned. Modmail support doesn't even respond when i prove that a gamethrower exists

### 5/5 — Really good

*2026-05-30, version 3.3.15 (14723)*

There’s disloyalty in this, so Here’s how i think of it: disloyalty = betrayal, betrayal = funny, funny = content, 5 stars

### 1/5 — DO NOT PLAY IF UR A PRO

*2026-05-22, version 3.3.15 (14723)*

they banned me for being too good at the game all the scrubs got mad at me for absolutely carrying and they banned me

### 5/5 — Wowzers

*2026-05-08, version 3.3.14 (14722)*

This game is awesome! I was jester and I just kept saying “why me?” And I won. 10/10 would play again

### 2/5 — Ads ruined it for me…

*2026-03-21*

I don’t like that you have to watch ads to play the game. On top of that, sometimes an ad is not even available to play, so, if you want to play you are pretty much forced to pay. The game itself is fun, but, unfortunately due to I guess the app owners wanting to make quick money (which, by the way, had you allowed people to just play for free, maybe you would have got more traffic and it would have led to more money for you anyways, similar to how Fortnite does it). This is a game dependent on having people, for your app forcing us to watch ads to play, you will sadly lose so much traffic you could have had. I have no issues with the game, but, it’s disappointing I can no longer play. I am only giving 2 stars as opposed to 1 because the game is actually fun when you do get to play it, but, with how it is currently, I literally can’t play right now unless I pay because they don’t have a forced ad available I have to sit through.

### 1/5 — Banned for Hate

*2026-03-13, version 3.3.12*

Gay ppl no longer allowed on your platform? I’m going to talk with my bank to refund me the money that you people do not deserve. To cancel me as many times as you did for my views on cheating is absurd, then to find out I got canceled because of hate speech. What about your white ppl speaking very loudly and boldly still there? -I want my money back and I will get it.
