A real-world game

Mafia Tag

Civilians · Mafia · Host

The mafia hunt. The civilians hide. One phone each, one play area, and a map that never shows anyone exactly where you are.

Three roles, one app

Civilian

Share your position, stay inside the boundary, and don't get caught.

Mafia

See civilians as fuzzy circles and close in. You never get an exact pin.

Host

Pick the play area, watch the referee view, and relay texts from players with no signal.

How a game runs

  1. The host creates a game and draws the play area, or just types a town name and takes its official boundary.
  2. Everyone joins with the Game ID and picks a role.
  3. Positions update on the host's interval. The mafia only ever sees a fuzzed circle, never a real coordinate.
  4. Tagged? You're out — or you wait out a respawn cooldown and slip back in.
  5. No signal? Your phone texts your position to the host, who relays it into the same feed.
  6. At the end everyone syncs and the results are compiled: tags, boundary exits, who left when.

Install

  1. Download the APK on the phone.
  2. Tap it and allow installing from this source.
  3. Open the app, choose your role, enter the Game ID.

Distributed outside Google Play: host mode reads incoming texts so it can relay them for players without data — a permission Play does not grant to games.
