Party & Social Deduction Games

How the API maps to a party game

• Lobbies & invites — rooms hold your player group before the game starts; friends lists and invites fill private games, matchmaking fills public ones.
• Hidden roles & phases — role assignment, night/day cycles and phase state live in room custom data your game controls; clients read state, never each other's secrets server-side.
• Real-time events — votes, accusations, night actions and morning reveals push over the WebSocket control channel; the UDP fast lane covers anything timing-sensitive.
• Names & chat stay clean — player-name rules and the built-in text moderation keep lobbies family-friendly without a moderation backend.
• Reconnection — players who drop mid-phase rejoin with their session token and pick up room state where they left it.
