Overview

Secret Hitler is a social deduction game where players are secretly divided into liberals and fascists. One player is secretly Hitler. The fascists coordinate to sow distrust and install their leader; the liberals must find and stop Hitler before it's too late.

Each round, players elect a President and Chancellor who will enact a policy from a random draw. Liberals must work together to pass five liberal policies or assassinate Hitler. Fascists must pass six fascist policies or elect Hitler as Chancellor after three fascist policies have been passed. The tension and accusations rise as players try to deduce each other's identities, leading to hilarious and often heated debates.
