Secret Hitler — a social deduction game for friends

I created my own digital version of Secret Hitler, a social deduction game designed for playing with a group of friends in the same room.

The game is all about trust, deception, and trying to figure out who is secretly working against you. At the beginning of the game, everyone receives a hidden role. Some players are Liberals trying to protect the government, while others are secretly Fascists — with Hitler hiding among them.

Players have to discuss, make alliances, accuse each other, and vote on who should lead the next government. But you never know who you can actually trust. Fascists try to quietly gain power without revealing themselves, while Liberals have to identify them before it's too late.

The game is designed around a TV or big screen, which shows the shared game board and what's happening during the round. Each player uses their own phone to see their secret role, vote, and make decisions that shouldn't be visible to everyone else.

The project was created specifically for game nights and parties with friends. Instead of needing the physical board game, everything we need is on one screen and everyone's phone — making it easy to start a game and get straight into the arguments, accusations, and betrayals.
