About The Village Secret

The Village Secret is the classic party game about a village where some of the villagers are secretly wolves. At night, the wolves secretly choose someone to take. During the day, everyone talks, suspects each other and votes on who has to leave the village.

On GameBase, the TV is the narrator. It shows night and day, reads the story aloud, keeps time and counts the votes. Every player gets their secret role on their own phone: wolf, owl keeper, herbalist or villager. That way nobody has to be the game master, and everyone can join in from the start.

In the cosy version, the wolves are sleepy trolls who sing people to sleep instead. Nobody gets taken. They just fall asleep and snore, so even younger kids can join in.

How to play

  1. Open the lobby on the TV. Everyone joins on their phone with the code. You need at least five players.
  2. Choose the mood, the number of wolves and special roles, and tap Start the game.
  3. Hold your finger on the card on your phone to see your secret role. Don’t show it to anyone.
  4. At night, everyone does something on their phone: the wolves pick a victim, the owl keeper asks the owl, the herbalist protects someone, and the others say who they suspect.
  5. During the day, you talk it over and vote on your phones. The village wins when the wolves have been found. The wolves win when there are as many of them as everyone else.
