The phone holds the secrets.
The room creates the fun.
MFAST turns real gatherings into live social games with private identities, challenges, voting and a final reveal. This page gives Hosts and players the full shared rules before anyone starts.
🎭
🗳️
🏆
From invitation to final reveal
The Host prepares the experience; players only need their phone and either the shared link or game code.
Name the game
Set the event name and a private Host PIN. The game receives a unique code.
Set the balance
Choose player count, hidden roles, timing and challenges for the crowd.
Invite players
Share the link or code. Everyone joins privately on their own phone.
Reveal & compete
Reveal identities, complete rounds, vote and reach the final result.
Choose your hosting style
Both modes use the same roles and rules. Only the way the game advances changes.
Autopilot
The Host can join as a player. MFAST runs countdowns, rounds, voting and the final reveal. The Host Dashboard locks private information while Autopilot is active, but still provides Player Mode, Large Screen and End Game controls.
Host Managed
No automatic timer. The Host Dashboard opens and closes voting, advances rounds, resolves challenges and decides when the room is ready for the final reveal.
How points are calculated
Every theme uses the same scoring engine; only the story names change. Points are finalised when the game ends.
Correct vote
For each round where your submitted vote identifies a hidden-role player. Maximum: 6 points.
Stay active
A once-off survival bonus if you are still Active at the final reveal.
Approved objective
Hidden-role players earn this for each approved secret challenge. Maximum: 9 points.
Hidden-role survival
An extra once-off bonus when a Mafia, Villain, Saboteur or Double Agent remains Active.
Perfect hidden run
Bonus for a hidden-role player whose objectives are approved in all three rounds.
Podium rule: only players who are still Active can place. Equal scores share the same rank. A regular player can score up to 9 points; a hidden-role player can score up to 29 points because their objectives and survival carry additional risk.
Shared game rules
Each story renames the roles and special abilities, but these foundations apply across MFAST games.
Keep identities private
Your role, character and secret challenge are for your eyes only until the game reveals them.
Play the current round
Follow the instruction on your phone. Hidden-role players complete secret objectives while the rest of the room observes and investigates.
Use eligible targets only
If the game asks you to select someone, choose from the active players shown. Confirmed targets lock for that action.
One vote per active player
During each voting window, active players get one submitted vote. Watch the countdown or wait for the Host to close voting.
Highest votes decide
The highest eligible total is resolved. A single isolated vote eliminates nobody; players tied on two or more highest votes may be resolved together.
Challenges need a result
Challenges are approved by the Host or confirmed through Autopilot. Unresolved challenges can fail when the round advances.
Protection is single-use
Where a theme includes protection, it blocks one normal gameplay elimination and is then consumed. It does not override a Host support decision.
Eliminated players can watch
Eliminated players stop voting and targeting but may keep following the live room and final reveal.
Late joins are handled safely
A player who joins after play begins enters according to the current round rules without exposing anyone else’s identity.
The Host can end the game
The Host may end and reveal at any point. Theme-specific wording and special abilities are explained inside that game’s Player Rules.
Make it fun for the whole room
Safe, fair challenges
- No dangerous, illegal, humiliating or non-consensual actions.
- The Host may skip or replace a challenge that does not suit the crowd or venue.
- Do not pressure anyone to share personal information, unlock a device or appear in a photo.
- Keep photos and recordings outside MFAST and ask permission first.
Good game etiquette
- Do not look at another player’s phone.
- Do not reveal roles before the final reveal.
- Let everyone hear instructions before acting.
- If the room is confused, pause and ask the Host.
Quick answers
Where do I enter my code?
Go to mfast.co.za, enter the shared code and MFAST will open the correct game automatically.
What if the code is wrong?
You will see a clear not-found message. Check every letter and number, then ask the Host if it still fails.
What if the game has ended?
MFAST will tell you it is finished instead of opening a dead player screen. Archived games must be resumed by the Host or Owner.
