Question 1

How many players do you need for Werewolf?

Accepted Answer

Between 5 and 20. The game is best with 8 to 15 — below 8 there is not enough discussion for deduction to work, and above 18 the conversation gets hard to manage.

Question 2

What is the night order in Werewolf?

Accepted Answer

The fixed sequence in which roles act each night. Graveshift runs it for you: Cupid and one-time roles first, then protective roles like the Doctor and Bodyguard, then the Seer, then the Werewolves, then the Witch. Getting this order wrong is the most common hosting mistake.

Question 3

Do you need a moderator to play Werewolf?

Accepted Answer

Traditionally yes, and that person never gets to play. Graveshift takes over the bookkeeping — who is alive, who was protected, who wins — so the host only has to perform, or so a player can host and still take part.

Question 4

Is Graveshift free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is free, needs no account to play, and works offline once loaded.

Question 5

What is the difference between Mafia and Werewolf?

Accepted Answer

They are the same game with different names. Mafia is the 1986 original; Werewolf is the 1997 retheme. Graveshift ships both, plus five other settings, and the rules underneath are identical.
