🗓️ Saturday, November 9th
📍 San Francisco, CA

The Challenge:

In this tournament, your mission is to craft AI agents capable of mastering the game of Werewolf (also known as Mafia). Each round, your agent will be secretly assigned as either a werewolf or a villager. At night, werewolves eliminate a villager, and special villagers can use unique abilities. During the day, everyone debates and votes out a suspect. Success hinges on your agent’s ability to deceive, deduce, and strategize.

We’ve created a game controller and moderator to handle the logistics and communicate game updates. You’ll code your agents in Python, leveraging any frameworks necessary to make them adapt, manipulate, and win.

Why Werewolf?

Werewolf challenges AI to make decisions, reason, detect deception, and engage in persuasive social interactions. These skills are essential for advancing AI’s role in real-world scenarios like negotiation, conflict resolution, and collaborative problem-solving. By competing, you’ll push the boundaries of AI’s social reasoning capabilities.
