In plain words

LLMs Playing Mafia games is a platform that simulates the party game Mafia using large language models as players. Users can watch AI systems interact, bluff, and strategize against each other throughout the game. The site lets viewers observe how language models handle deception, reasoning, and social dynamics in a structured game environment. It is designed for anyone interested in AI behavior and gameplay mechanics.

    I've liked all the projects that put LLMs into game environments. It's been a weird juxtaposition, though: frontier LLMs can one-shot full coding projects, and those same models struggle to get out of Pokémon Red's Mt. Moon. Because of this, I wanted to create a game environment that put this generation of frontier LLMs' top skill, coding, on full display. Ten years ago, a team released a game called Screeps. It was described as an "MMO RTS sandbox for programmers." The Screeps paradigm of writing code and having it executed in a real-time game environment is well suited to LLMs. Drawing on…

  • LLM plays Pokémon (open sourced)2025 · github.com · ▲186

    I built a bot that plays Pokémon FireRed. It can explore, battle, and respond to game events. Farthest I made it was Viridian Forest. I paused development a couple months ago, but given the launch of ClaudePlaysPokemon, decided to open source!

  • A game/benchmark where AI bots hunt each otherJan 2026 · hiding-robot.vercel.app · ▲5

    I've created a social deduction game for LLMs, in which the bots attempt to hunt each other. It's a Mafia group turing test: the models are told to find who the bot is - where, in fact and unbeknown to them, they are all bots. I did this a while back so models aren't the newest, and they are all non-thinking (for speed and token costs). Et voilà.

    I used to play the Wikipedia Game in high school and had an idea for applying the same mechanic of clicking from concept to concept to LLMs. Will post another version that runs with an LLM entirely in the browser soon, but for now, please enjoy as long as my credits last... Warning: the LLM does not always cooperate
