About

Palermo Reaper

Features
Read full description

Palermo Reaper brings the classic party game of hidden roles to your phone — no cards, no pen and paper to keep track of. Pass one device around the table, or let everyone play on their own phone over local WiFi. Each player secretly discovers their role, and the accusations begin. THREE GAMES IN ONE PALERMO The beloved social-deduction classic. Thieves strike while the town sleeps; by day, everyone debates, accuses, and votes. Choose exactly which roles are in play — policeman, doctor, snitch, kamikaze and more — while the app tracks who is alive, how each player died, and announces the winner the moment the game is decided. The doctor can protect one player each night, and over WiFi the day vote is private and counted for you. SPY Everyone learns the same secret location — everyone except the spy. Ask each other questions and answer carefully: too vague and you look suspicious, too specific and the spy figures out where you are. A pool of 200 locations, with a fresh hand dealt every game. KILLER A killer moves unseen among the players, and one policeman is sworn to stop them. Once per game the policeman can investigate one player. Short, tense rounds — perfect when you want a quick game. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • One phone for the whole table — pass-and-reveal role cards with a dramatic flip • Play over WiFi: one player hosts, friends join from their own phones, roles stay private on each device, and Palermo's day vote is counted for you. No accounts and no internet connection needed • Full game tracking: kills, revives, the day/night cycle, and automatic win detection • Atmospheric dark design with moody visuals and subtle sound effects • Save your regular players so game night starts in seconds • The official rules and a guide to every role are one tap away, even in the middle of a game • Fully bilingual — switch between English and Greek at any time • Made for iPhone and iPad • 3+ players for Spy and Killer, 5+ for Palermo — up to a full-house party Gather your friends (3 or more, 5 for Palermo), dim the lights, and deal the roles. Someone at the table is not who they say they are.
