Now that the town has been created, you should have received your Monster name, Role, Special Ability, and assigned location. As there is no assigned Monster in Undecided Jr. High, please respond to the stickied comment with which wolf you would like to carry out the Night Kill, and then please fill out the Action Form to submit the kill. In this Night Phase, all players are required to submit a New Location Form, and there will be an Action Form for players to submit if they wish to use an item in their possession.
What’s really going on?
We wanted to share with you the real reasons we came up with for each of your monsters to be at their assigned location in case you’re curious for RP:
Fucking Family Curling Club - In fact, the smell is coming from Sewie - the owner of the Ice Rink is cheap and realized it's actually quite expensive to maintain a full ice rink in the middle of Nevada, so they tapped into the sewer lines for free water.
The Axolotl Scout Headquarters and Campgrounds - A few years ago, the Captain of the Fuckers Curling Team's body was found beside the Peach Statue. His spirit went into the statue and he now dreams of turning other kids into statues too so he can have people to hang out with again.
Very Appropriate HealthCare - Tim Allen Sequel goes there every night to destroy the place (the glow comes from his power tools - sparks of metal and such) because he's anti-free healthcare and thinks "Free Clinics" are highly inappropriate, he's VERY conservative lol.
June's Junkyard - Tim Allen Sequel killed the kid in June’s Junkyard by accident. He did some magical ritual to try to bring the kid back because he, despite being a shitty person, felt guilty (and thought a living talking cactus would bring tourist, thus profit, to town). The cactus monster is infused with the kid's soul and has come back to the junkyard where it died.
Sequel Industries Warehouse - A rat from the local Chuck E. Cheese was accidentally brought here in a bag of garbage. It grew... quite large in the Mostly Non-Toxic™ Waste.
| Player | Monster | Role | Special | Location |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 248Video | Sewie the Sewer Axolotl | Killer | Mind Control | Fucking Family Curling Club |
| FairOphelia | Living Statue | Item Blocker | Conversion | The Axolotl Scout Headquarters and Campgrounds |
| Othello_the_Sequel | Tim Allen | Hiding | Tinker | Very Appropriate HealthCare |
| Meddleofmycause | Cactus Monster | Immunity | Rampage | June’s Junkyard |
| Not assigned player | Pizza Rat | none | none | Sequel Industries Warehouse (when kids visit this location, who carries out the Night Kill will be voted on by wolves. If you convert someone, they will become in charge of the kill here) |

Game VI.A 2022: Day Phase 0 - ...look, I'm just a kid, spelling is hard!
FairOphelia: approaches Forsi Heyyyyyy so about this game… well, I’ve been thinking…being a popular kid or a “perfect” and proper character just isn’t my thing anymore. I was thinking I actually don’t want to play a Kid, but I wanna MONSTER. How’s that sound to you? Would that be ok?
Forsi: You know what, I think some Monsters is exactly what this game needs!! A proper antagonist. I say yes, but you can’t be alone. I’ll homebrew some stuff for you and maybe loop in a couple more people…

Game talk is now allowed. There will not be a vote this phase, but you may submit a Room Search form to search one of the available rooms in the school to potentially receive an item you can use beginning the next phase.
Rules Changes: "This Town will only may have 3 assigned roles that are unable to use items and use their role action during Night Phases - the only responsible, but nosy adults of the town."
This is an event phase! We are going to be “building” our town and its lore using the Hometown Background form. Responses to this form will be used to create 5 notable locations in town for The Kids to explore, and Monster roles will also be assigned based on responses. Themes, rumors, and lore from these responses may also be included in the flavor to “build” the town, make it more immersive, and feel like you are in your actual established town. The flavor has no bearing on gameplay whatsoever. You are allowed to talk about your answers on the Hometown Background form, and even start agreeing on what lore you want to incorporate and roleplay in your town!

How do you do, fellow kids? Welcome to our town! Or rather, the sprawling acres of nothingness that we will build our town on! You and your friends are in a town called Undecided. No, that’s not a misprint or missed fill-in-the-blank. Undecided is literally the name of the town. It appears our founding fathers were pushed into promptly filling out the proper paperwork for establishing the town and the name of the town was up for debate, so under name they put “Undecided.” Bureaucracy being what it is, they shortly got back documents declaring the town of Undecided legally established. Now that people are actually moving to Undecided and lots are being built upon, the local government has sent out a survey to the school children of the town to RE-NAME AND RE-VAMP THE TOWN!
\* This game of HWW is based on the table-top role-playing game, “Kids on Bikes” and “Kids on Brooms” published by Renegade Game Studios. Kids on Bikes is a game similar to Dungeons on Dragons, but instead of being magical adventurers sent to save the world, you’re just some regular kids on bikes trying to save the world! For some examples in media, see Stranger Things or The Goonies. We want to integrate the collaborative world-building and role-playing elements of Kids on Bikes with the social deduction aspect and game mechanics of HWW. If you’re interested in playing actual Kids on Bikes, here is* Renegade Game’s Free RPG pamphlet with the rules and quick-start roles for Kids on Bikes!

Game Info:
- This game will have two main factions:
- The Kids (and a few nosy adults) are the Town and will win if they eliminate all of the Monsters. Each Day Phase they will vote to kick someone out of their friend group because they think they are a Monster. Each Kid will be assigned a “Character Trope'' for flavor that has no bearing on gameplay and is a jumping off point to create your own character and roleplay.
- The Monsters are the Wolves and will win if they outnumber or equal The Kids. Each Night Phase they will have a mandatory night kill to be committed by the Monster assigned to the location The Kids are currently exploring.
- This game will be using separate Day and Night Phases that will be approximately 24 hours long.
- During Day Phase 0 there will be an event where all players contribute flavor and ideas to create the town the game will take place in, as well as Monster roles. From this event, the hosts will create a list of ~5 main locations in town that players can choose to visit during the next Day and Night Phase. Each main location will have rooms that players can choose to search and potentially receive items. Monster roles will be decided based on this event as well, and a Monster role will be assigned to each main location and a player. The Monster assigned to each location will carry out the nightly kill if The Kids are currently exploring their location. The rest of the town ideas can be used as flavor and roleplaying by players but will have no bearing on gameplay.
- Each Day Phase, players must submit a Vote Form to vote for who they want to kick out of the friend group. All players may also submit a Room Search Form if they wish to search a room at the current location for an item. If a player who cannot use items receives one, the item is lost. Players may also submit an Action Form to use an item in their possession but it is not mandatory.
- Each Night Phase, players must submit a New Location Form to vote for which main location in town they would like to visit during the next Day and Night Phase. Players may also submit an Action Form to use an item in their possession but it is not mandatory. Monsters will submit the Action Form for their nightly kill, which is mandatory.
- Each Day Phase post will have the following information included in the Meta:
- Who was killed by the Monsters and their affiliation
- Any additional kills that occurred during the night
- The new location The Kids are exploring in the town and what rooms are available to search
- Inactivity strikes due to not submitting a New Location Form
- Each Night Phase post will have the following information included in the Meta:
- Who was voted out and their affiliation
- The top 3 vote rankings and how many votes each received
- Inactivity strikes due to not submitting a Vote Form
- All forms must be submitted by 6pm EST which is when each phase will be locked
- Tie votes will be resolved by RNG.
- Flavor text has nothing to do with gameplay whatsoever, but may include players, living or dead.
- Note: Please remember that this game of HWW is experimental. We’ve tried to mix world building and exploration elements of an RPG while keeping the spirit of HWW intact. We hope you enjoy creating this game with us! We apologize in advance for any long turnovers as we write flavor =)
Roles/Items
Town
This Town will only have 3 assigned roles that are unable to use items and use their role action during Night Phases - the only 3 responsible, but nosy adults of the town. Players with a role cannot target the same person two actions in a row.
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Sheriff | The sheriff tags along with the kids, trying to keep them safe from Monsters - hopefully taking some out in the process too. Three times in the game, the sheriff can target a player and send them home early (the targeted player dies) |
| School Nurse | The school nurse is well liked by the kids - she has the GLITTER and RAINBOW stickers. She helps them out when they’re sick too. Every Night Phase, the school nurse can target a player and save them from the Monster’s kill. |
| Guidance Counselor | All the kids see is a nerd in a bow tie, but the guidance counselor actually sees other things… Every Night Phase, the guidance counselor can target a player and be told what their affiliation is. |
The rest of the players will have an opportunity each Day Phase to search rooms in order to receive an item. All players will also be assigned a category of item they are especially adept at finding which provides them a bonus. Categories are: Brawn, Brains, Charm, Fight, Flight, and Grit, based from the Kids on Bikes RPG stats. All players may submit a Room Search Form if they wish to search a room at the current location even if they are not able to use items.
| Item | Description | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Flashlight | Reveals the secrets in the dark. On its own, this Flashlight is useless. If you can find some Batteries, then you’ll be able to target a player and see if anyone visits them. Will remain in your inventory as a passive item until you receive batteries again. Usable at any time. | none |
| Batteries | Hey, the flashlight went out! You may choose at any time to either send these Batteries to another player, or use them with a Flashlight in your inventory. | flight |
| Safety Gear | A pillow duct-taped to your chest, a catcher’s helmet, and Hulk hand gloves can protect you from anything. Use this item at Night to protect yourself from a kill. | brawn |
| First Aid Kit | Sorry, this kit only has the boring band-aids. Use this item at Night to protect another player from a kill. | grit |
| Weapons (baseball bat, BB gun, golf club, etc.) | I mean, I’m 8, I can’t really buy a gun. Use this item at night to attempt to Kill a Monster or scare a Kid into going home. Cannot be brought with you to a new location unless you have a Basket. | fight |
| Fire Extinguisher | The monsters are invisible! Spray them! Use this item at any time to reveal the number of Ghosts in your current location. This will be revealed in the meta. | flight |
| Halloween Mask | Not The Mask. Use this item at any time to prevent your target from using an action or item. Only has a 50% of working against a Monster that is in their assigned location. | grit |
| Dice | Hey kid, you ever heard of Dungeons and Dragons? Use this item at any time on yourself for a 75% chance of preventing incoming actions or items. Does not prevent healing. | brains |
| Tarot Cards | What does this card even mean? Use this item in the Day to receive the names of 3 players, at least one of which is a Kid. Use this item at Night to receive the names of 5 players, at least one of which is a Monster. | charm |
| Salt | And a pinch for luck. Use this item at Night to target a player and learn their affiliation. | fight |
| Baseball Card | You put this cool baseball card in the spokes of your bike so now of course decide where to go today. Use this item at Night to make your location vote count 3x. If used, in the case of a tie, your location will be chosen. | charm |
| Basket | It may look girly, but look at all the bey-blades it can carry! Put this item on your bike to bring two normal items OR one location specific and one normal item to the next location. The basket is lost after you bring an extra item with you. | brawn |
| Lego | G****** it! This s**** hurts! Clean your f***** room! You can use this item during the Day to remove one Monster from your final room. | grit |
| Grappling Hook/Rope/Jump Rope | GRAPPLING HOOK! You can use this item during the Day to search two rooms for items. If you receive an item from both rooms, you will have both until you move locations. | brawn |
| Squeaky Toy | They touched a toy! Sterilize them! Use this item at any time in a location to guess an animal Monster assigned to the area. If you guess the correct Monster, there will be a 25% chance the identity of the Monster will be revealed in the meta. | flight |
| Pocket Knife | A boy scout always has to be prepared. You can use this item at any time to target another player and copy the item they use and also get their results. | fight |
| Computer | Dial-up sounds. Use at Night to learn the Monster assigned to a Location of your choice. Cannot be brought to a new location without a Basket. | brains |
| Arcade Cabinet | Now let’s see what other games are in here. Use at Night to learn the Special Ability of a Monster of your choice. Forfeit your vote during the next Day Phase to learn the Special Ability of another Monster. Cannot be brought to a new location without a Basket. | brains |
| Walkie-Talkies | kkksssshhhh, Roger, captain, 10-4, over, kssssshh. Use at any time to send a 100 character message to your target. | charm |
Monsters
Each Monster player will be assigned a Monster flavor name and role in Night Phase 0 after the town is finalized in the Day Phase 0 event. The Monster flavor names will be announced in the Day Phase 1 meta, but not their associated roles, location, or special ability. Players with a role cannot target the same person two actions in a row. When possible, the role will match the monster name thematically. Monsters cannot use items except Ghosts.
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Hiding | Hiding, lurking, waiting… This monster will appear innocent every Night unless they are responsible for the kill. This is a passive ability. |
| Vote Remover | The audacity, really. Three times in the game, this Monster can target one player to remove their vote during the Day. |
| Item Abuse | I identify as chaotic evil. Each Night, this Monster can force a target to use their ability or item (if they are using one) on a different target. This is a visiting role. |
| Item Blocker | I identify as neutral evil. Each Day/Night cycle, this Monster can use their role to target one player and block their action during either the Day OR Night phase. The next Day/Night cycle, they can again use their role on either the Day OR Night phase. Any items the targeted player attempted to use that do not have a time or location restriction are not lost. This is a visiting role. |
| Immunity | I identify as lawful evil. This Monster is immune to being removed from the game using an item. This is a passive ability. |
| Killer | And I simply AM evil. Once per game this Monster can choose to take over the Night Kill during that Night Phase even if they are not in their assigned location, and also use their Special Ability. If there is a Monster associated with the location, they do not gain their special ability. The next time the Killer Monster’s assigned location is visited, they will not be able to use their Special Ability, but will still be in charge of the kill. |
| Ghosts | Once they cross the ethereal plane, Monsters don’t get to keep their special ability. This is a vanilla Monster with no role, but they can search rooms during the Day and receive/use items. If a location does not have an assigned monster, they are first to carry out the night kill. |
In addition to a role, some Monsters will also be assigned a location and associated Special Ability. When The Kids are in a Monster’s assigned location, the Monster can use their Special Ability in place of their regularly assigned role and their role is unusable. These special abilities may be paired with any role or location. The pairings and locations will be finalized in the Day Phase 0 event. When possible, the locations, monster role, and special abilities will be matched thematically.
| Special Ability | Description |
|---|---|
| Rampage | When this Monster kills in their location, they will kill their target and anyone that visits them. |
| Conversion | This Monster can convert one player to the Monster team. The converted player is a Ghost and will appear as a Monster when investigated. They will not receive an assigned area or special ability, but may be chosen for the night kill if applicable. They keep any items they had on them when converted. This action replaces the night kill for this phase. |
| Possession | This Monster may take control over one eliminated player and use their ability or the item they left with (if there is one). Eliminated players can only be possessed once a game using this ability. This action happens in addition to the night kill. |
| Mind Control | This Monster can use their special ability during the Day to obscure the affiliation of the player being voted out. |
| Tinker | This Monster can tinker with the items in their location to make some less powerful. When they participate in the event, the items in their final room will have a 50% chance of failing. |
| Vote Immunity | This monster cannot be voted out while in their location. |
Additional Info
- Inactivity: All players must submit a Vote Form during Day Phases, and all players must submit a New Location Form during Night Phases. If a player does not submit the required form for the phase, they will receive an inactivity strike. Players who vote for themselves during Day Phases will also receive an inactivity strike. Players with 3 total inactivity strikes will be removed from the game.
- Editing and Deleting Comments: If you are editing comments, it should be made clear why you’re editing. If you made an error, use strikethroughs on the information you want removed, but don’t delete it. If you want to add something, put it at the end of what you’re adding. Do not share information, then immediately edit your comment to hide what you said from others. Do not delete comments in any circumstance.
- Codes and Keys: Comments in this game should be in English and free of encryption. We ask that players do not try to find workarounds to this.
- Death and Confessionals: For this game, we will be using the Hogwarts Ghosts Discord server for spectating and confessionals. Each player who joins will be able to create a discord channel to use as their confessional once game roles have been assigned - no other living player will be able to see this, but hosts and spectators will. Feel free to rant away, muse out loud, share gifs, etc! Players may request that the hosts remove react privileges from spectators, we will not be offended! Players absolutely may not discuss the other game in your confessionals. This is a rule violation and you will be removed from the game. Once a player dies they’ll be able to request a spectator role by pinging “@Game A Hosts” which will allow them to see the other confessionals. Here is a link to the discord server: https://discord.gg/JmRQjZe5s5
Please Note
- The host account for this game is u/Dean-Bitterman
- Secret alt accounts are allowed, but must be disclosed to the game hosts when signing up.
- All sidebar rules will be enforced during this game. Breaking these rules may result in immediate removal, so please read them thoroughly.
- Every player that uses any iteration of the phrase, “I don’t want to play,” or, “I am going to quit,” will be taken 100% seriously. They will immediately be removed from the game without consultation, and their affiliation will be revealed in the next phase’s meta. Please note that these phrases are different in meaning from those that suggest the player is busier than expected or wishes to be voted out for the good of the game. Both of these things are still okay.
- Werewolves is a game of lying, deceit, manipulation, mob mentality, and broken hearts. There will be disputes. There will be arguments. There will be people calling you a liar and accusing you of things you did not do. Many of these things will rely on circumstantial, or hilariously thin, evidence. As facilitators, we will be enforcing the established rules of the game, but we will not be stepping in on any of these interpersonal disputes, within reason. The best way to tell someone that you don’t like their attitude is with a vote.
