Host field guide
A quick cheat sheet to keep your Mafia nights smooth, suspenseful, and fair.
Before nightfall
- Pick a voice call or keep everyone in the in-app chat if you prefer text-only rounds.
- Share the lobby code in your group chat or drop a one-click invite link from the dashboard.
- Double-check everyone is marked ready before starting. You can toggle players manually if needed.
Guiding the story
- Night and day phases auto-advance, but you can jump ahead manually from the host controls.
- Use system messages to narrate plot twists—players will see them highlighted in chat.
- Lean on the built-in narration prompts to keep everyone in sync without breaking immersion.
Wrapping up
- Archive finished games to keep your dashboard tidy. Players can still revisit the logs.
- Want a rematch? Duplicate the lobby from the dashboard to reuse the same config in seconds.
- Share feedback with the team—Moonlit Mafia is open-source and always evolving.
