RoundGangs is where your group plays together — live, on camera, in real time. Not a single game with a chat box bolted on. A place your crew comes back to, with a growing library of social games built for faces and voices: you see the hesitation before someone answers, you hear the laugh that doesn't quite land, and you defend yourself out loud to people looking right at you. REAL PEOPLE, NOT BOTS Every player in your game is a person. No AI opponents, no filler, no lobbies padded out to look busy. PLAYING NOW • Mafia / Werewolf — the classic hidden-role night-and-day game, with multiple scenarios and role sets to keep experienced groups guessing • Mutiny Protocol — hidden saboteurs and shifting alliances, mission by mission More games are added over time, and everything below carries across all of them. ONE ROOM, ANY GAME Create a private table and invite your friends, or open it up and let anyone join. Hosts get a full moderator view to run the night themselves — assign roles, manage the phases, keep things moving. Lobby chat and voice mean everyone can hang out while the last player finds their headphones. CLUBS — YOUR GROUP, BETWEEN GAME NIGHTS This is the part a single game can't give you. Clubs keep your crew together across sessions and across games: member rosters, club-only tables, and leaderboards that settle the argument about who is actually the best liar. NEVER PLAYED BEFORE? Guided tutorials walk newcomers through their first game step by step, so nobody has to learn the rules while nine other people wait. BUILT FOR PLAYING WITH STRANGERS, SAFELY RoundGangs is an 18+ community. Report and block are available wherever you meet other players, and hosts can remove anyone disrupting their game. Camera and microphone are always optional — plenty of people play listening first. YOUR LANGUAGE Full support for English, German and Persian, including complete right-to-left layout. Get your group together and find out how good your friends actually are at lying. Questions or feedback: contact@roundgangs.com
