About Word Wolf

Word Wolf is a hidden-role party game where each player receives a topic that's almost the same but slightly different. Through discussion, you must find the Wolves — the minority players who hold a different topic.

You don't know whether you're a Citizen or a Wolf yourself. Through conversation, you have to guess what topic the other players have while making sure they can't figure out yours.

Dokopa has over 1,400 topic pairs built in, ready to play instantly. You couldn't run out even playing for three days straight.

How to Play

  1. 01

    Topic Reveal & Discussion

    Each player sees their assigned topic. There are two topics — one for the Citizens (majority), one for the Wolves (minority) — but you don't know which you have. Guess what topic the others have while you discuss, and try to figure out who's the Wolf.

    Vote

    When the discussion ends, everyone votes simultaneously for who they think is a Wolf. You can't vote for yourself. Wolves should vote for whoever else is likely to be targeted, to survive.

    Result or Extra Round

    If the most-voted player is a Wolf, the Citizens win. If they fail to vote out a Wolf, all Citizens lose. In case of a tie, the game goes into an extra round.

    Reversal Mode

    If enabled in settings, a Wolf who gets voted out still has one last chance. The Wolf guesses the Citizens' topic — if correct, the Wolves win by reversal. Recommended off for beginners, on once you're used to the game.
