A social deduction game's premise is simple: there are at least two teams with contrary goals. One of these teams is often smaller, villainous, hidden within the larger group, and working together to achieve some nefarious goal such as sabotage or killing the other players. The other players then have to figure out who the traitors are. This is often done through some Witch Hunt-esque combination of questioning, catching them in the act, or voting them off, while the traitors avoid suspicion by deflecting, bluffing, or pretending to be innocent. The parlor game Werewolf (1997) is the Trope Codifier and many games follow this template: there's a secret killer hidden within the group, and the rest have to figure out who it is before all Ten Little Murder Victims are offed one by one. However, there are many ways to expand and complicate the Social Deduction Game, such as by adding more teams, roles, and various other mechanics, or by mixing it with other genres. Some games have this as an optional or random aspect of the larger gameplay. Compare The Mole, as identifying the hidden traitor/s is usually one of the objectives of the game, Ten Little Murder Victims, and Blending-In Stealth Gameplay, which usually involves hiding from the AI. On the Sliding Scale of Cooperation vs. Competition, this genre falls under either "Treacherous Teammate" (when there is only one traitor player) or "Informed Minority vs. Uninformed Majority" (when there are more traitors and they cooperate with each other). Insane Troll Logic and Right for the Wrong Reasons are frequent in these types of games. See also Asymmetric Multiplayer, Variable Player Goals and Player Elimination. |

Who Wants to Be a Superhero? Ostensibly, people who'd created their own superhero identities were chosen as contestants for the show, including one bearded man named "Rotriart." After the group all met each other for a cocktail hour and headed for the manor where they'd be staying, this hero revealed that "Rotiart spelled backwards is 'TRAITOR!'", and that he'd been planted as The Mole to trick the group into exposing some less-than-ideal secrets, which in turn led to the first elimination before the game had technically begun. Needless to say, the other contestants immediately realized that they were in for a tougher challenge than expected. Other episodes of the show used similar tricks, with hired actors pretending to be various groups of people—such as some friendly waitstaff who asked questions about the heroes' secret identities or a bunch of adoring fans who tried to distract the contestants with requests for photos and autographs during a mission in an amusement park. It got to the point where any kind of social group had to be treated with suspicion. |

The Future Arc in Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School has the Future Foundation members forced to play an In-Universe killing game where each member wears a wrist band with a 'forbidden action' that will trigger a lethal injection if the victim does it. The band also forces everyone to sleep at specific intervals while an attacker is given enough time to kill one person, so the players must either root out the traitor or die. It's subverted since there is no attacker, one person is always left awake every interval and forced to kill themselves by watching a brainwashing video. | |

Deceive Inc. is a First-Person Shooter where all players are spies trying to steal the same MacGuffin. Each player starts the round disguised as an NPC, and can take on the appearance of any NPC they encounter. Identifying enemy spies among the crowds of NPCs wandering each mission is a core mechanic of the game. | |

Barotrauma is about a crew trying to survive in a submarine at the bottom of the ocean. The game has a 'traitor' mechanic that can be enabled; traitors are given secret objectives, which usually involve sabotaging the submarine, murdering another crewmember, or setting up monster threats by cultivating mudraptor eggs or spreading The Virus. | |

In Space Station 13, the different crewmembers must do their jobs and survive until they are evacuated. Each round gives you "Antagonists" which have an objective, usually related to sabotage, murder, and destruction. In most modes, they spawn directly from normal crewmen and it's the job of the security department and the rest of the crew to discover them. The hidden antagonist roles include "Traitors", which are normal crewman who secretly worked for The Syndicate and have access to secret and deadly tools, "Changelings", shape-shifting aliens who can absorb other people's identities, "Cultists", followers of a Religion of Evil trying to summon Nar'Sie by forcefully converting crewmembers, and "Revolutionaries", low-ranking employees who try to recruit from non-revolutionary crewmembers in order to overthrow the Captain and Heads of Department. | |

Cipher Academy features the "Murder at Cipher Academy" game, which is part of the process to select the Class Leading Private. Players are immersed in a murder mystery scenario, and, similarly to "Werewolf", each of them has a secret role, including a killer who must evade identification. This being the Cipher Academy, the game is combined with puzzles that reveal hints to the killer's identity. Players must unravel these puzzles while interrogating one another to uncover the truth. To make matters more complicated, each player has a hidden agenda and a different victory condition. Players also have special skills, such as being able to refuse answering when interrogated, or being able to instantly solve specific puzzles. | |

Unfortunate Spacemen combines this with First-Person Shooter and a touch of Survival Horror with its main Shapeshifter game mode. One player is the Monster who is disguised as a human and is trying to eliminate the Spacemen. The Spacemen need to complete tasks in order to call a rescue shuttle to escape, while being on the lookout for suspicious activity so that they could vote off the imposter at set intervals of time; they could also try to kill the Monster if they find it, but as the Monster is significantly stronger than any one Spaceman, ganging up on it with heavier weapons is pretty much necessary. There is also a Traitor available that is biologically a human but works against the Spacemen in their own way, like sabotaging equipment. | |

Town of Salem has three factions: the Townies (who must survive to the end of the game but don't know who the other townies are), the Mafia (who want to kill everyone and do know who their teammates are), and the neutral parties (who have their own individual win conditions). Townies and Mafias can only win if the other party all dies. Each day, the townspeople vote on who to lynch. A later update added the Coven as an additional faction opposed to both the Town and the Mafia, who eventually replaced the Mafia entirely as the sequel's main antagonists. | |

The Jackbox Party Pack: In "Fakin' It" from Party Pack 3, each round the players are given a task to do (such as hold up a number of fingers, make a funny face, etc.). One player, the Faker, doesn't know what the task is and has to blend in as long as possible without getting found out. "Push the Button" from Party Pack 6 is a sci-fi themed game set on a space shuttle. Players have a set amount of time to deduce who among them are aliens in disguise through a series of tests. Aliens are given different prompts during these tests (which diverge more and more from the human prompts as the game progresses), so they must attempt to blend in with the humans. Aliens also have access to two "hacks" per game, which they can use on humans so they will get the alien prompts or themselves to get the human prompt. The humans win if they successfully guess which players are aliens and jettison them, while the aliens win if the humans run out of time or vote attempts, or they trick the humans into throwing one of their own out the airlock. "Hypnotorius" from Party Pack 10 is a game where players are given a secret role from one of two or three categories and must answer questions in-character. They then have to figure out who among them is in a similar category as them, and which of the players is an "Outlier" who is the only one in their category. |

Trouble in Terrorist Town, one of the built-in game modes for Garry's Mod, features a terrorist faction in which some members have turned on the cause and aim to kill everyone else. Traitors know who their teammates are, but the terrorist cell at large does not. Meanwhile, innocent players must piece together who the traitors are from corpses left behind and their interactions with other players, with the Detective role — designed to help weed out traitors — randomly assigned to one player for every eight players on the server. | |

Gnosia is essentially Werewolf (1997) in space. The Gnosia are infected humans who will kill everyone on the space ship if they are not discovered and confined to cold sleep. Unfortunately for the crew, sometimes there will be a human who worships the Gnosia and is willing to lie for their sakes, and it is also discovered that sometimes a human is a "Bug" who will destroy the universe if they are not confined by the time either the crew or Gnosia claim victory. | |

Raging Loop is about a village that must deduce who among them are werewolves and execute them before they are all killed. Notably, each of its three routes have you play different roles, with the first route being a normal villager (though the main character notably isn't active in this due to outside circumstances, you still see the entire thing unfold), the Snake (which functions as the Seer), and lastly as a wolf. | |

If the players complete the task, the saboteur is removed from the game, but if the players fail, they vote on who they think the saboteur was and the player with the most votes is eliminated instead. | |

One Night Ultimate Werewolf simplifies the formula. The entire game takes place over one night as the title suggests with the various roles performing actions during the night or having special abilities during the day. During the day phase, the players debate who among them is a werewolf. The day phase ends with the players voting on who they think is the werewolf and the one with the most votes is eliminated. The Villager team wins if a werewolf is killed, the Werewolf team wins if they both survive, and the Tanner wins if he himself is killed. | |

The Resistance and its Arthurian version Avalon. There are spies (informed minority) within a greater group of government agents (uninformed majority); the latter only knows how many spies there are and not who is one. Players go on 'missions' that must be approved by the group; during the mission, 'good' members turn in Mission Success cards while spies can sabotage the mission by turning in a Mission Fail card (at the risk of their identity being exposed). The game continues in this manner until one team gets three points. | |

Secret Hitler: Among the players, most are Liberals, some are secretly Fascists, and one Fascist is Hitler. The Fascists know who each other are (except that Hitler doesn't know who the others are), and must covertly pass fascist policies (done through a "President" and an elected "Chancellor" who choose from randomly-drawn liberal/fascist cards) without the liberals suspecting who they are. The liberals win if five of their policies are enacted; fascists win with six, but they can also win if Hitler is elected Chancellor past a certain point. | |

Taskmaster does this occasionally on team tasks, where one team member is given a different goal from the rest of the team. In episode 4 of series 12, Morgana Robinson earned two bonus points by getting her teammates to say "submarine" (without letting her teammates know she was trying to get them to say "submarine", and without saying "submarine" herself). In episode 3 of series 14, John Kearns had the secret task of sabotaging his team. He earned points only if his team lost the team task, and no one on his team accused him of sabotaging them. |

Among Us features a bunch of Ambiguously Human creatures scurrying around a spaceship/research station/space station, with at least one "Impostor" among them. The Crewmates run around the maps and do maintenance tasks, while the Impostor blends among them and tries to sabotage the facility and kill them all without anyone noticing or suspecting them during team meetings. The Impostor(s) win if Crewmates no longer outnumber them, making victory a mathematical certainty, or if the Crewmates fail to repair a sabotage in time. The Crewmates win if they finish all their tasks (something ghosts of dead Crewmates can still help with) or vote out all the Impostors. Impostors have access to features that let them kill more effectively, such as using air vents to relocate instantly across the map, but of course being caught diving in or popping out of a vent by a Crewmate is a death sentence, as is getting caught faking certain tasks that have specific progress animations. | |

Shadows over Camelot is primarily a cooperative game, but there's a chance (proportionate to the number of players) that one player is a traitor trying to destroy Camelot. The loyal knights don't need to expose the traitor to win, but their final score is reduced by two points if they fail to, which can mean a last-minute defeat. | |

Danganronpa is a single-player example. The games are divided into chapters, and in each chapter, one of the students will commit murder, forcing the rest of the characters to investigate and then take part in a Class Trial: If they get the murderer right, the murderer is executed, if they get them wrong, everyone but the murderer is killed off. | |

The Murderverse is a Shared Universe of games that mostly combine Mafia-type gameplay with character-based roleplaying, though there are a few games that break from the formula slightly.note Murder U, for example, runs on Danganronpa rules where anyone may kill at any time, while in Monster Smash, the bloodthirsty monsters aren't an informed minority. | |

Throne of Lies mixes the social deduction game with medieval politics. There are three factions; the 'good' one is the Blue Dragons, who aim to keep the peace in the kingdom and must root out the Unseen criminals and the Cult of Mithras. There are various roles, and the 'sniff out the traitors' aspect is complicated with how the roles' allegiances can change at any time. | |

SpyParty is a one-versus-one social deduction game. The core concept is Blending-In Stealth Gameplay: the Spy must try to mingle with the other NPC guests while the Sniper watches the party with an incredibly obvious Laser Sight. The Spy must either complete all missions or trick the Sniper into shooting an innocent victim. The Sniper must either kill the Spy or spook the Spy into not completing their tasks. The challenge lies in how well players can blend in among the NPC crowd (as the Spy) or how well they can detect the other player's 'tells' (as the Sniper). | |

Tom and Jerry Chase has the "Aliens!" mini-game, where the objective is to expose and dispatch all the aliens or, if you are on the alien team, knock out all the opponents before they expose you. | |

Deceit's hidden faction is the Infected, who have The Virus and whose goal is to convert or kill the other players, who must survive in this desolate area by picking up supplies. At night the Infected can turn into monsters and pick off the others. Innocent players can deal with suspected Infected by shooting them during the day, but they must still convince the rest of the players during the succeeding vote. | |

The Mole is a spy-themed reality-tv show where the contestants work together to complete various tasks to earn a cash prize that only one of them will win. One of the contestants, however, is The Mole, a double agent hired by the producers themselves to sabotage the group's missions and keep money from the pot. At the end of each episode, the contestants take a quiz on The Mole's identity, with the player having the lowest score being "Executed" and removed from the game. The winner is the player who figures out The Mole's identity, surviving until the very end and has the highest score on the final quiz given. | |

The licensed board game based on Battlestar Galactica (2003) varies the formula by having players draw a second set of loyalties halfway through the game, with the effect that a previously "human" player can be activated as a cylon Sleeper Agent. | |

Only Murders in the Building: "The Tell" is themed around "Son of Sam", a parlor game of Oliver's. It is a social deduction game themed similar to Werewolf (1997) (but themed around David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam killer). Characters are handed cards — most are "innocent blondes", but one is the Son of Sam killer, who pinches/"kills" an unknowing victim in each round. The group must then vote on who they think the killer is (if Oliver doesn't get it before them) lest the killer gets them all; if an accused person turns out to be innocent, they die as well. Oliver prides himself on always guessing right. | |

The Doom mod WhoDunIt. One of the players is the Murderer, armed with a variety of weapons and gadgets, and his goal is to kill everyone else. All the other players are Innocents, trying to identify and take out the killer. If an Innocent kills the wrong person, he's marked with a Yellow Aura (1st kill) or a Red Aura (2nd kill), which gives other players free rein to harm or kill them respectively (this is mostly a measure against griefers). | |

Blood on the Clocktower sees each player secretly assigned a character with a unique ability off of a pre-defined script, with character types split into Townsfolk (good players with beneficial abilities), Outsiders (good players with detrimental abilities), Minions (evil players who mess with the good team) and the Demon (an evil player who is (usually) the one responsible for killing players at night). The good team wins if they kill the demon (usually via execution), and the evil team wins if only two players survive (one of which is the Demon). | |

Werewolf (1997) and its predecessor Mafia are the Trope Codifier. Players are assigned various 'villager' or 'civilian' roles (some of whom have special abilities), and there's at least one werewolf or mafioso; each round, the werewolves off one villager during the night. During the day, the rest have to figure out who the werewolves are, and can choose to execute someone they suspect is a werewolf (although the werewolves can misdirect them as well). The villagers win if they execute all the werewolves, while the werewolves win if they off enough villagers that they can block any further werewolf executions (making killing the rest of the villagers a Foregone Conclusion). | |
