Mafia (Jester Scenario)
Talk. Bluff. Survive the night.
A live voice party game for 6 to 12 players, built by GoinLabs from idea to app store. Real-time voice, an automated game master, public tables in 20 languages, a play-money economy and a native Android app, on a lean, low-cost cloud stack.
Live in the browser · Android app in closed testing on Google Play
A real table, online.
Mafia is one of the most popular social deduction games in the world, but online it usually means text chat, a human game master who cannot play, and endless waiting. The goal: a version that feels like sitting at a real table with friends, runs by itself, and works on any phone.
A complete game platform, not just a game.
Live voice at the table
Everyone hears everyone, like a real game night. Private night channels let the Mafia and the Jester team talk in secret while the rest of the table sleeps.
An automated game master
A recorded moderator voice guides night actions, morning news, timed discussion turns, challenges, voting, the defense room and the final vote. Nobody has to sit out.
A deeper rule set
14 roles in three teams, including a Jester team that recruits players during the game, six Lightning cards that change the game when a player is eliminated, and a three-player Chaos round decided by handshakes.
Public tables in 20 languages
Matchmaking seats players at a table in their language. Tables fill, count down and start by themselves.
Private rooms
Rooms with a code for friends, with custom rules: roles on or off, number of Mafia, speed and Lightning cards.
Community features
Friends, parties, clubs with chat and ranking, levels from Street Rookie to Godfather, achievements, seasonal rankings per language, scheduled game nights and shareable result cards.
Moderation and safety
Warn, mute and kick tools, reports, blocking, appeals, and community table hosts with ratings.
A play-money economy
Daily rewards, a daily wheel, MVP votes, game rewards and predictions on public games, all with play-money tokens that can never be cashed out. Nothing bought helps anyone win.
Cinematic presentation
Animated table, night and morning effects, a victory song with synced lyrics, and a replay of every game that can be saved as a video.
A native Android app
Push notifications, invite links that open the app directly, in-app purchases and rewarded ads, built for Google Play.
Built to be fair, fast and cheap to run.
Front end
One fast web application that runs in any modern browser and inside the Android app.
Game server
Cloudflare Workers with one Durable Object per table. The server runs the game engine, so games are fair and cheat-resistant and do not depend on any player's device.
Real-time data and sign-in
Firebase Realtime Database and Firebase Authentication, protected by strict security rules.
Voice
Peer-to-peer WebRTC audio with a TURN relay for difficult networks, so voice also works on mobile data.
Android
Capacitor with Google Play Billing verified on the server, AdMob with GDPR and US privacy consent, push notifications and Android App Links.
Hosting and operations
Cloudflare Pages with automatic updates, one-click deploys, automatic clean-up of empty rooms, usage guards for free cloud tiers, an owner dashboard and an admin area. The whole platform runs on free and pay-as-you-grow tiers.
Privacy and compliance
GDPR-ready from day one: privacy policy, account deletion in the app and on the web, consent management for ads (EU and US), 18+ age confirmation, and play-money-only tokens with no payout.
