Photo Werewolf is now live

We’ve launched Photo Werewolf 🎉 — a new kind of werewolf game where you deduce with photos from your phone. It’s free, runs right in your browser (no install), and a game takes about 10 minutes.

What is Photo Werewolf?

Everyone submits one photo from their camera roll that fits a shared theme, then talks about those photos to find the werewolves.

The twist: werewolves secretly swap the photos they submitted. A werewolf ends up holding someone else’s photo and has to explain “why I chose it.” Their story starts to feel off — and because there’s photographic “evidence,” even players who aren’t smooth talkers can corner the werewolves.

How to play — about 10 minutes

Just your phone, and these 6 steps. One game takes roughly 10 minutes.

Great for any occasion

Break the ice at a party, use it as a fun way to introduce yourselves when meeting for the first time, or fill a gap during a remote call. It was born from the idea “what if you could play with the photos already in your camera roll” — and seeing an unexpected side of each other through those photos is part of the charm.

No special equipment needed. Just your phone. Tap the button below to start playing Photo Werewolf for free.
