Welcome to Oops! All Cupids Werewolf, the game where every Wolf is also a Cupid!
It sure looks like a warm start of the holiday season. What do you mean it’s only October? Yes, of course Halloween counts. Love is in the air this Fall, but not everyone is happy about it…
Everyone please check your QTs as some of you have been paired up by Cupids into Lovers roles. Cupids have selected you under the following rules:
- Cupids cannot choose themselves to be part of their sponsored couple.
- Cupids did not know who their fellow teammates were before picking.
- Cupids cannot tell one another the identities of their selected players.
- If a couple makes it to the end of the game as the ONLY couple left, that couple and their Cupid sponsor will share a lone victory over the would-be winning faction.

[spoiler title = “Special Mechanics & Win Conditions!”]
Special Mechanics:
- If one Lover dies, the other dies too unless…
- TWO-TIMERS! In the event that a Player is involved in more than one couple, the death rules change. If the two-timer is targeted, both (or more…?) of their spurned Lovers will remain in the game. If a two-timer’s partner is targeted, then the two-timer will stay alive if any of their other Lovers are alive!
- RED-PILLER! Any player shot by the red-piller (SK) will die alone, regardless of their couple alignment. Any remaining Lover will become single.
- The write-ups will never disclose if a dead player was a Lover, but this status may be hinted at through the text and through the math 😉
- The remaining number of couples will never be explicitly tracked in the header.
- Players will not be notified when the Sociopath has died.
- All other roles (VT, Private Investigator, Paranormal Investigator, Doctor, Red-Piller, and Cupids) will be announced at death and tracked.
- Cupids are non-human, all Townies are human, and the Red-Pill SK is human.
Win Conditions!
- The game is over when the number of wolves makes up half or more of the Player population, or when all scum are killed.
- Traditional town vs. wolves win conditions apply, UNLESS!
- A Cupid and their Couple they created will share a victory over the traditional winning faction if the couple is the sole remaining couple alive when a traditional town or wolf victory is reached. That’s right! A Cupid may still achieve victory from the graveyard if they bet on the right couple. Couples will not know the identity of their patron Cupid.
- If the Red-Piller (SK) is alive in a town of singletons, they will win. This will be assessed upon the triggering conditions of a traditional Wolf victory.

[spoiler title=Roles]
Town:
- 16 Vanilla Town
- 1 Private Investigator may each night learn how many couples a targeted player is part of
- 1 Paranormal Investigator may each night learn if a targeted player is Human or Cupid
- 1 Doctor may each night choose a targeted player to protect from death. Doctor may self-target, but may not target the same player twice in a row. The Doctor cannot save a Player from dying if their Lover is killed, but will prevent the Couple from dying if they protect the night-kill-targeted Lover.
Scum:
- 4 Cupids will each pick a pair of players they think can make it to the end together.
- 1 Red-Piller (a.k.a. Serial Killer): Any players shot by the SK will die alone. If their target player was in a couple, their other partner will live. The SK will be told if they broke up a couple.
Special:
- 1 Sociopath is granted after all couples are formed. This player will not die if their (last/only) partner dies. This player may also be dual-roled (e.g. Sociopath Doctor, Sociopath Cupid, etc.) This player observes all the same win conditions as their default alignment and the Couple/Cupid alignment.
