Silly Royale is a real-time online social deduction game. Players and can choose from three modes: Murder Mystery, Hide N Seek, or Jail Break. Each mode allows up to twelve players who can communicate via voice chat to work together and stop the “devils” or “robbers” in the group.

The Power of Real-Time Engagement
Gamers today desire more than just great game design. They want an engaging, social experience, which Silly Royale delivers. SuperGaming chose to integrate voice chat directly into the gameplay experience because relying on a third-party service like Discord would be a hassle for their mobile-only gamer audience.
The voice chat feature allows players to discuss in-game strategies, decide when to vote someone out, and talk about which game mode to play next. These interactions enable players to learn about teamwork and make crucial in-game decisions—especially in the classic social deduction modes. Other players coordinate fashion shows or birthday parties using their favorite avatars in the Silly Universe and some players even claim to have learned a new language via the voice chat.
