Town of Salem is an online game based on the events in Salem, Massachusetts and the party game, "Mafia". Each game normally has 15 players, with players having different alignments. If you're a townsperson (any role in green), you'll need to catch the Mafia and other evils, like the Serial Killer, before they kill everyone else playing. The problem is, you don't know who is who.

      Warnings

      • Do not game throw. Some examples of game throwing include calling out your mafia teammates and playing on multiple account. You will be reported and banned for doing so.
      • Don't cuss.
      • If you are too truthful when playing a killing role and say things like, I need to die for the good of the town, people will think you are the Jester. Although it makes some people not want to lynch you, you can still be kill by other killing roles.
