About this Event

Welcome to 'Liars & Friends’

Inspired by the beloved game of Mafia (recently adapted into BBC TV Show ‘TRAITORS’), this competitive social gathering is your gateway to organic connections and a bit of mischief. Caution, this is NOT your average games night.


Here, meeting new people comes with a twist of humour and strategy, making every interaction memorable. In the game, you can choose to adopt a daring persona or showcase your true self, but whether you come alone or bring the gang, get ready to chat, charm, and cheekily deceive your way into new friends


As the evening unfolds, remember, in this society, every hand you shake could be plotting your playful downfall...or your next martini.


Yours “sincerely”

The Liar Society

(P.s… All the above is true)

Game Mechanics



We’ll have a dedicated team on hand to explain the rules in person so no one will be out of their depth however, here’s a taste to help you know what to expect:


Getting Started:

Upon arrival, you'll be randomly assigned a role: you might find yourself as a member of the scheming Mafia, a resourceful Civilian with a special ability (like the Doctor, Detective, or the elusive Swindler), or a simple townsperson with keen instincts. This random allocation ensures each game is a fresh start, full of new challenges and alliances.


The Flow of the Game:

Night Falls: As darkness descends, the Mafia secretly chooses a target to "eliminate," aiming to covertly reduce the number of Civilians. Meanwhile, players with protective or investigative roles (such as the Doctor and Detective) use their abilities to save, uncover, or change the course of the game.


Daylight Discussions: Daytime brings all players together for a debate on who among them might be Mafia. It's a time for persuasion, deduction, and sometimes, deception. After discussion, a vote is cast to "lynch" one player, who is then revealed and removed from the game.


Winning the Game:

- The Mafia wins by eliminating enough Civilians so that they equal or outnumber the remaining players, seizing control of the town.

- ⁠The Civilians win by identifying and eliminating all Mafia members, ensuring the safety of the town.


Special Twist - The Swindler: Between rounds 3-5, the Swindler decides which side they're on, adding a layer of unpredictability. Will they bolster the ranks of the Civilians, or will they cast their lot with the Mafia, influencing the game's outcome?


⁠Continuous Engagement: Eliminated early or need a breather? The fun doesn't stop at the game. Join fellow players in the bar area to relax, share your experiences, or strategize for the next round. With games beginning every 15 minutes, you're always close to your next adventure.


Why 'Liars & Friends'?

'Liars & Friends' is more than a game—it's a dynamic social experience where every role dealt, from the stealthy Mafia to the cunning Civilians, is a chance to dive into a world of intrigue and interaction. Whether you're navigating the perilous nights or forging alliances by day, every game is an opportunity to challenge your wits and expand your circle of friends in London's most engaging social game night.

Come for the game, stay for the connections.
Refreshments: We provide a cozy selection of refreshments and a minibar with a curated assortment of beverages. Feel free to BYOB if you like what you like.
