Lore

A van, a blindfold, and a dark room - by morning, they won't remember a thing.

  • Talk anonymously with your target at night (Online mode) - Your target sees you as "Jailor" while you see their name in the chat window
  • Executions - How many prisoners can be executed [0 (default), 1, 2, 3]
  • Friendly kill penalty - What happens when executing a friendly player [None (default), Lose charges, Die from guilt]

How to play

Kidnap a player during the day. At night they can't act and are protected from all kills. You can chat privately with the prisoner at night - bluff about executing to pressure them into talking. Unlike the Warden, you have no execution charges by default (configurable). Use kidnapping to protect Mafia allies from night kills or to neutralize dangerous town roles.
