Secret Hitler – Lies, Power, and Paranoia in the 1930s
Secret Hitler isn't just a party game: it's real psychological warfare. Do you trust your friend? You should. But maybe not. In this hidden-role board game for 5-10 players , every word can condemn you, every look can reveal too much. Set in 1930s Germany, it's a tense, divisive, brilliant game... and inevitably memorable.
At the start of the game, you'll be assigned a secret role: Liberal or Fascist. One player is the Secret Hitler . The Fascists know each other, but Hitler doesn't know who his allies are. The Liberals? They're simply in total darkness. Each round, a President and a Chancellor are elected, who must approve a law. But is it really a mistake if a Fascist law passes? Or has your Chancellor stabbed you?
A game of bluff, betrayal, and social strategy where tensions rise at every turn. Fascists advance in the shadows, liberals are consumed by doubts, and when accusations begin to fly... it's already too late to trust anyone.
Why Secret Hitler is the most hated (and loved) party game in the world
- Hidden role board game perfect for 5-10 players
- High psychological tension , perfect for those who love bluffing and deduction
- Zero language dependence after the first explanation
- Carefully crafted 1930s style components with elegant board and cards
- Always different endings : accusations, revelations, explosions of paranoia
Want to find out which of your friends is a master manipulator? Secret Hitler is the ultimate test. And it'll even make you question whoever offers you a beer. 🐸
Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. You receive a secret role: Liberal, Fascist… or Hitler
At the start of the game, each player receives a secret role card. The Liberals are the majority and want to protect democracy. The Fascists are few, but they know each other. Hitler doesn't know who the Fascists are... but they know who he is.
2. A President and a Chancellor are elected in turn by vote.
Each round, the table elects a President-Chancellor pairing. If the proposal receives a majority of votes, a government is formed. If it fails, a new pairing is elected. The bluffing begins here.
3. The government passes laws: liberal or fascist?
The President draws three laws, discards one, and passes the other two to the Chancellor, who chooses one to enact. Only they know what they really saw. Suspicions begin to grow with each decision.
4. Special powers increase tension
When enough fascist laws are passed, the President gains special powers : he can investigate a role, choose the next President... or even order an execution. The accusations become explosive.
5. Whoever reaches the goal first wins: law or chaos
The Liberals win if five liberal laws are passed... or if they eliminate Hitler. The Fascists win if six fascist laws are passed... or if Hitler is elected Chancellor after three fascist laws are passed. Everyone lies. Only one brings down democracy.

Secret Hitler
The enemy is not your opponent… he is your friend who does not speak
Political intrigue, hidden identities, and plot twists in one of the most discussed (and played) party games of recent years.
Secret Hitler – Who Can You Really Trust?
In the heart of 1930s Germany, liberals try to save the country. But among them lurks… Hitler.
Secret Hitler is a board game of bluff, deduction, and betrayal , in which everyone has a secret identity: are you a liberal? A fascist? Or… the Führer himself?
The fascists recognize each other and conspire to manipulate elections and power. The liberals, outnumbered, must figure out who to trust, as time runs out and the government's special powers begin to fray.
Every round elects a government. But every vote could spell the end of democracy.
One of the best party games for large groups , capable of creating tension, nervous laughter and epic discussions.
Secret Hitler: Bluff, Power, and Paranoia Among Friends
Secret Hitler , created by Mike Boxleiter, Tommy Maranges, and Max Temkin, is a secret role-playing board game for 5-10 players, perfect for evenings with friends.
Each player receives an identity: liberal, fascist, or Hitler. The fascists know each other and try to pass authoritarian laws, ultimately electing Hitler as chancellor... and winning.
Liberals, unaware of everything, must discuss, vote, observe behaviors and… shoot Hitler if they spot him.
Laws are chosen at random, but the choices of governments in power tell much more than the written text.
With an art deco aesthetic, simple yet brilliant mechanics, and ever-changing gameplay, Secret Hitler is a modern classic of the hidden roles genre, and a staple for those who love high-octane psychological party games .
We played it. And we still suspect everyone 🐸
Secret Hitler is the party game that made us scream most often: “You were a fascist and you didn't say anything?!” 🐸
Each game becomes a social challenge in which you have to observe, lie, interpret, act in time… and hope.
It won us over with its tension curve , its twists and turns and its ability to bring out leaders, suspects and natural bluffers.
We recommend it to close-knit (and slightly sadistic) groups of friends, lovers of hidden role-playing games , but also to anyone who wants to understand how democracy can falter… because of just one wrong vote.
