Secret Role Picker
Deal hidden roles to a group and reveal each card privately on one shared screen.
Quick answer
What is the Secret Role Picker?
Deal roles for social-deduction and party games without printing cards. Add a player roster, enter the role pool, and pass the device so everyone can reveal their own assignment while the rest of the table waits.
How to Use the Secret Role Picker
- Add players or import names from the shared Table.
- Enter one role per line or use comma-separated role names.
- Allow duplicate roles when the pool is smaller than the group, if needed.
- Tap Deal hidden roles, then pass the device to each player.
- Reveal or hide each role card and reset when a new round begins.
What You Can Use It For
- Mafia and Werewolf
- Secret Hitler-style role setup
- Party game roles
- Classroom activity assignments
- Hidden team selection
Tips for Using the Secret Role Picker
- Keep the role pool visible during setup so the host can verify there are enough cards.
- Pass the device one player at a time and hide a revealed role before handing it over.
- Share the setup before dealing; private assignments intentionally never travel in the link.
Assignments stay private
The current role assignments and reveal progress are kept in this browser and omitted from share links. A shared setup recreates the player and role pool configuration, but a new deal is required before any roles appear.
Unique or duplicate role pools
By default, each role is dealt once, which catches incomplete setups before a round starts. Enable duplicate roles for games that need several civilians, villagers, spies, or other repeated characters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are secret role assignments included in a share link?
No. Share links include the player and role setup only. The browser creates a new deal locally, so current assignments and reveal progress are not exposed in the URL.
Can a role be assigned more than once?
Yes. Enable duplicate roles when the role pool is smaller than the group or when your game needs several copies of a role.
What games can use Secret Role Picker?
It works for Mafia, Werewolf, social-deduction games, party games, classroom assignments, and any activity that needs a hidden role per player.
