A web app designed to facilitate in-person games of Mafia, built with a modern stack using Vite, React, Mantine UI, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript, Node.js, Express, WebSockets, Google Gemini API, and Google Cloud API for Text-to-Speech (TTS).
Mafia is a popular party game where players are assigned roles and work to eliminate others while deducing each other's identities. Our web app enhances the Mafia experience by automating the role assignment, game narration, and more, so you can focus on the fun!
- Role Assignment: Easily assign roles like Mafia, Town, Medic, and Sheriff (with more roles coming soon).
- Automated Narration: No need for a human narrator! Google Gemini generates stories to narrate the events of each night based on a selected or custom theme.
- Customizable Game Settings: Adjust discussion time, night duration, number of Mafia members, and more to suit your group's preferences.
- Interactive Lobby: Players can join a lobby to start a game, making it easy for everyone to participate.
- Frontend: Vite, React, Mantine UI, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript
- Backend: Node.js, Express, WebSockets
- APIs: Google Gemini API for story generation, Google Cloud API for Text-to-Speech (TTS)
