Tituba
Reads the room before the room reads her. Useful when every lantern looks guilty.
A secret trial for 4–12 players
PlayWitchTown .com
Gather friends, draw cards, stack accusations — and try not to be holding Accusation III when the town loses its patience.
Fair warning: Every lantern in town may hide a friend, a foe, or a very good liar. The mist is listening.
Why you'll lose sleep
Social deduction, Witch Town edition
Hidden witches. A sheriff with opinions. Fifteen role characters who all swear they're innocent. What could go wrong?
Day court, night murders
Stack red accusation cards until someone faces trial at 7+ points. Then the witches pick a victim after dark. Rinse, repeat, panic.
15 role cards with actual powers
Tituba, Abigail Williams, John Proctor, Giles Corey — each with a unique ability. Giles, famously, refuses to die quietly.
59 action cards of chaos
Scapegoats, black cats, matchmakers, infections, and the ever-popular Night card. Romance was briefly legal in Witch Town. Briefly.
Quick Play with AI townsfolk
No friends online? AI fills empty seats so you can practice lying before the real humans arrive. They are also very good liars.
Witch Town Academy
Interactive tutorials for people who skipped the rulebook. Learn day pressure, night watch, and why you should never trust the Matchmaker.
Replay theater
Every match gets a narrative replay — "Trial of the Innocent," "Night of Shadows," and other headlines the town will deny later.
By daylight
Accuse first. Ask questions never.
Talk fast, point fingers, and remember: in Witch Town, being right and being alive are not the same hobby.
Draw or play
Each turn: draw from the deck, or play an action from your hand. Accusations stack until trial threshold.
Trial at 7+
When accusation points hit seven (role modifiers apply), the accused reveals. Witch? Eliminated. Civilian? Oops.
Skills & equipment
Green cards scapegoat and curse. Blue cards deploy black cats and asylums. Use them wisely — or on your best friend.
By moonlight
Witches vote. Sheriff sweats.
Win as good by exposing every witch. Win as witches by outnumbering survivors. Or draw if the deck gives up — everyone's favorite ending.
Witch council
Hidden witches coordinate a murder vote. Democracy, Witch Town-style.
Sheriff protection
The sheriff guards one player. Infection and conspiracy still invent new ways to ruin the night.
Self-guard by reveal
Reveal your identity to protect yourself. Bold. Also tells everyone exactly what you are.
The deck
Cards that start arguments
Fifteen role portraits. Four identity types. Fifty-nine ways to ruin a perfectly nice town meeting.
Red — Accusation
The town's love language. Stack points until someone faces trial.
Green — Skills
Scapegoats, curses, and other polite disasters.
Blue — Equipment
Social tools. Romance was briefly legal in Witch Town.
Black — Witch events
Dark cards for dark hours. Try to look surprised.
Identities
Who you actually are. Keep the card face-down until you cannot.
The circle
Twelve faces. Zero trust.
Table avatars for your gathering — not your hidden role. Trust no portrait.
Rowan
Milo
Marcus
Isolde
Evelyn
Gideon
Mara
Silas
Beatrix
Lydia
Tobias
Prudence
Role cast
Fifteen roles. All of them swearing innocence.
Pick a character with a real ability — then pretend you drew it at random.
Abigail Williams
Turns a whisper into a trial agenda. Never let her narrate the evening unsupervised.
John Proctor
Honest to a fault — which, in Witch Town, is still a fault.
Giles Corey
Refuses to die quietly. The town respects that. Reluctantly.
Rebecca Nurse
Calm enough to make accusations feel rude. That is her whole strategy.
Samuel Parris
Believes the sermon first and the evidence second. Sometimes that works.
Three steps to a ruined town meeting
Step 1: Gather your circle
Open Witch Town, pick a town name, and invite 4–12 players with a room code (WT-XXXX-XXXX). Or hit Quick Play and let AI townsfolk fill the empty chairs. They are suspiciously polite.
Step 2: Draft your role
Choose from fifteen role characters — each with a unique ability. Then receive your secret identity: witch, sheriff, or civilian. Act natural. Immediately fail at acting natural.
Step 3: Survive the bell
Play cards, stack accusations, survive trials, and endure the witching hour. Win by exposing all witches (good) or outnumbering the town (witches). Lose by being you, probably.

Carved wood, parchment, candlelight, and amber rim light. How we picked a visual identity that says "secret trial" without saying "do not play after midnight."
FAQ
Questions the town refuses to answer
Everything you need to know before the midnight bell — and a few things you'll wish you didn't.
Is Witch Town free?
Yes. Open your browser, pick a name, and play. No download, no subscription, no sacrifice required. (In-game sacrifices are a separate mechanic.)
How many players do I need?
4 to 12. Quick Play fills empty seats with AI townsfolk so you can start with fewer humans. The AI are surprisingly judgmental.
Is Witch Town a real place?
Only in the game — and even then, mostly in the sense that your friends will betray you there. Witch Town is a fictional social deduction card game. Play responsibly.
Can I play on mobile?
Yes — Witch Town is built for mobile-first play in the browser. Accuse your friends from anywhere with signal and questionable morals.
What if I have no friends online?
Quick Play joins you with humans first, then AI fills the rest. Witch Town Academy teaches the rules. The replay viewer lets you relive your worst decisions.
Where do I actually play?
Head to game.playwitchtown.com — this site is the brochure. The game is the courtroom.
The mist is
listening
Gather your circle. Every lantern may hide a friend, a foe, or a very good liar.
The bell rings at midnight. Try not to be late — or early, depending on your faction.
