How to play

Kidnap a player during the day. At night they can't act - their action is cancelled - and they're protected from all kills. Use kidnapping to protect Mafia allies from night kills or to neutralize dangerous town roles. Be careful kidnapping the Serial Killer: your cell roleblocks him, so unless you execute him, he'll kill you instead.
