Play a social deduction match as a Crewmate, Betrayer, Sheriff, or Jester, completing tasks, investigating players, and surviving votes.
Here's a quick look at the game:
Betrayal.io is a multiplayer social deduction game from End Game Interactive in which every player receives a hidden role. Crewmates work through tasks and identify hostile players, while Betrayers try to eliminate the crew without being voted out. Special roles such as the Sheriff and Jester introduce different win conditions that can make suspicious behavior harder to interpret.
Complete Tasks or Hide Your Betrayal
As a Crewmate, your main jobs are to finish assigned tasks and help identify the Betrayers. The crew can win by completing its tasks or by successfully removing the hostile players through meetings and votes. Moving between task locations also creates opportunities to observe who was nearby before a body was discovered.
A Betrayer has the opposite objective. Betrayers eliminate Crewmates, disrupt their work, and try to avoid attracting enough suspicion to be voted out. Because other players can discuss what they saw after a body is reported, an elimination can become evidence if someone noticed you entering or leaving the area.
Meetings and Voting
When a body is found, players can report it and discuss who may be responsible. The group then votes on a suspect. Voting out a Betrayer helps the crew, but removing an innocent player reduces the number of Crewmates still available to complete tasks and evaluate future accusations.
That makes information more useful than simply following the loudest accusation. Pay attention to where players were moving and whether their statements match what you observed. As a Betrayer, staying near the crew can provide an alibi, but being repeatedly associated with eliminated players can make later meetings difficult to survive.
Sheriff and Jester Roles
The Sheriff supports the crew and can eliminate a suspected Betrayer. There is a major penalty for guessing incorrectly: eliminating an innocent Crewmate also eliminates the Sheriff. Gather evidence before using this ability rather than acting on a single suspicious movement.
The Jester follows a completely different objective: getting voted out. A player who behaves suspiciously may therefore be a Betrayer, or they may deliberately be trying to attract votes as the Jester. This role makes automatic voting risky because removing the wrong suspicious player can give the Jester the result they want.
Betrayal.io Controls
Use WASD or the arrow keys to move around the map. Press Space or E to interact with tasks and other available actions. M opens the map, while Esc closes an open interface.
Betrayal.io also includes different maps and modes, including Core mode and Hide & Seek. Regardless of the mode, the important first step is understanding your assigned role: your objective can change completely depending on whether you need to complete tasks, eliminate the crew, protect them, or convince everyone to vote against you.
