In Spooky Night, every player is assigned a hidden role that determines their abilities, their team, and how they influence the game. These roles are split between the Village and the Hunters (also known as Werewolves)—and every match is a battle of deduction, deception, and survival.
Here’s a closer look at the roles currently available in the game, along with a quick summary and their strategic value:
Note: This guide assumes you’re already familiar with how Spooky Night works.
If you’re new to the game or unsure about the rules, we recommend reading this introduction first.
🐾 Hunters Roles#
🐺 Werewolf#
“Werewolves can team up to attack someone during the night.”
The core of the evil team. Werewolves collaborate to eliminate villagers while avoiding detection.
👑 Alpha Wolf#
“Can strike twice in one night if he correctly predicts his prey’s role. If he fails the prediction, no one will be attacked.”
A high-risk, high-reward assassin. Smart guesses can turn the tide quickly—mistakes, however, leave the Hunters powerless.
🧙♀️ Witch#
“Gathers hints about someone’s role during the night.”
A deceptive tool in the Hunters’ arsenal. The Witch can uncover critical information and help identify threats to the evil team.
🩸 Traitor#
“Reveals the roles of everyone who votes to lynch him—only to the Hunters.”
The ultimate snitch. While they appear to be a villager, lynching a Traitor gives the Hunters valuable intelligence to plan their next move.
😈 Demon#
“If lynched and most voters are non-allies, every non-ally who voted will be prevented from taking any actions that night.”
A dangerous trap. Voting for the Demon without careful consideration can paralyze the village’s night strategy entirely.
🛡️ Villagers Roles#
👨🌾 Villager#
“Just a villager.”
No abilities—but every vote counts. Villagers form the backbone of the village team and must use deduction to root out the Hunters.
🧑⚖️ Mayor#
“Mayor’s votes during the day count as double.”
Carries extra weight in village decisions. Best used to guide the discussion—or mislead, if in the wrong hands.
🔮 Seer#
“Can discover the side of someone’s role during the night.”
Can reveal whether someone is a friend or foe. A key investigative role that can shift suspicion quickly.
🕵️ Detective#
“Gathers hints about someone’s role during the night.”
Focuses on learning specific roles. Valuable for catching liars or narrowing down suspects.
🐀 Spy#
“Can overhear some of the whispers.”
Occasionally learns pieces of hidden communication. It’s a puzzle—can you fit it together?
👁️ Sentry#
“Observes someone’s house at night, learning who visited them.”
Sees all who interact with the target, but not what they do. Crucial for connecting clues and catching aggressors.
🛡️ Knight#
“Protects someone at night, taking any damage in their place.”
Takes the hit so others don’t have to. Excellent for shielding Seers or Mayors from early elimination.
🧑⚕️ Healer#
“Protects someone at night, saving them if they take damage.”
Stops the damage but doesn’t take it. More subtle than the Knight but just as valuable.
💋 Charm#
“Distracts someone at night, seducing them and preventing them from taking any actions.”
Neutralizes threats or blocks useful abilities. Can be used to confuse or protect—depending on intent.
☠️ Bomber#
“Plants mines around someone’s house, exploding on anyone who visits during the night.”
A trap specialist. Great for catching Hunters who try to attack high-value targets.
🧙♂️ Necromancer#
“Can communicate with the dead during the night.”
Can learn from eliminated players. Adds a layer of insight from beyond the grave.
🍺 Drunk#
“Just a normal villager who likes to fool people.”
Often indistinguishable from chaos. Can throw off reads and discussions—intentionally or not.
🧩 Final Thoughts#
No role exists in a vacuum. The real power of Spooky Night comes from how roles interact, how information flows (or gets blocked), and how well players can navigate the deception.
More roles are on the way, and as the game evolves, so will strategies. Whether you’re a cold strategist or an unpredictable wildcard, there’s a role that suits your playstyle.
Play smart, stay paranoid—and enjoy the chaos.
