About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a witch hunt like no other! Witch Hunt is that social deduction game everyone loves, perfect for parties and gatherings with lots of friends (7 to 22, to be exact!). The premise is classic: on one side, villagers trying to unmask and lynch the witches hidden among them during the day. On the other, witches plotting their mischief and eliminating villagers at night. But here's the twist: unlike other games in the genre, those who die aren't out of the game! Eliminated players can still lend a hand (or cause trouble!) for their teams. And to spice things up, everyone has a character with a unique ability, even the witches! This means the game's dynamics change completely with each playthrough, depending on who has which power. It's a Print & Play game, so you can have your own copy with a bit of DIY effort. While there's no official Portuguese version, its moderate language dependency means you can tackle it with translated materials. Guaranteed fun for those who enjoy suspecting everyone and having a good laugh!
