Werewords*

Werewords is a fast-paced word-guessing game blended with the intrigue of a hidden role mechanism. In this engaging party game, players work together to guess a secret word, while also navigating the deceit of a werewolf who knows the word but is trying to lead them astray.

Gameplay Overview

  • Secret Word: Players try to guess a secret word by asking yes-or-no questions within a limited time.
  • Hidden Roles: Among the players, one is secretly a werewolf, trying to mislead the others while knowing the secret word.
  • The Seer: Another player, the Seer, also knows the word but must help the group discreetly to avoid detection by the werewolf.
  • Winning Conditions: The group wins if they guess the word in time. If they fail, they can still win by correctly identifying the werewolf. Conversely, the werewolf wins by remaining undetected or by identifying the Seer if the word is guessed.
