Traitors at the Lighthouse
Traitors at the Lighthouse helps the Narrator prepare and run an in-person game. Find basic guidance and support contact details here.
Basic rules
Set up the game
A game supports 5 to 15 players and is led by a Narrator. The Narrator prepares the script, assigns roles in private, and uses one phone to guide the game.
Roles and teams
Each player receives a secret role. Harborfolk and Wayfarers help good; Acolytes help evil, and the Entity is its central target. Each role explains its ability, and some abilities have their own victory conditions.
Base goals
- The good team wins when no real Entity remains alive.
- The evil team wins when two or fewer players remain alive and a real Entity is still alive.
Night and day
The game alternates between night and day. At night, the Narrator follows the ability order, records choices one at a time, and shares information privately. At dawn, the Narrator announces public events. During the day, the table talks before nominations begin.
Nominations
Each living player may nominate once per day, and each person may be nominated once that day. For each nomination, the nominator briefly explains their reason and the nominee may respond before the table votes by raised hands.
Voting and execution
At the end of the day, the app resolves an execution by vote only if one player leads alone and reaches the minimum: half of those who count as alive, rounded up. If the highest total is tied or nobody reaches the minimum, no vote-based execution occurs.
Votes from dead players
Under the base rule, each dead player keeps one vote for the rest of the game. Before play begins, the table may agree to the app’s variant: one vote per day, renewed at the start of each day and never carried over. The app stores totals for each nominee, not who voted or which mode the table chose.
The app
Traitors guides turns and resolves mandatory mechanical outcomes. Social decisions stay with the Narrator and the table. You can set up and finish a game without an internet connection.
