* ''TabletopGame/BloodOnTheClocktower'' is sees each player secretly assigned a character with a unique ability off of a pre-defined script, with character types split into Townsfolk (good players with beneficial abilities), Outsiders (good players with detrimental abilities), Minions (evil players who mess with the good team) and the Demon (an evil player who is (usually) the one responsible for killing players at night). The good team wins if they kill the demon (usually via execution), and the evil team wins if only two players survive (one of which is the Demon).

* ''Push the Button'' in ''VideoGame/TheJackboxPartyPack 6'' is a sci-fi themed game set on a space shuttle. Players have a set amount of time to deduce who among them are aliens in disguise through a series of tests. Aliens are given different prompts during these tests (which diverge more and more from the human prompts as the game progresses), so they must attempt to blend in with the humans. Aliens also have access to two "hacks" per game, which they can use on humans so they will get the alien prompts or ''themselves'' to get the human prompt. The humans win if they successfully guess which players are aliens and [[ThrownOutTheAirlock jettison them]], while the aliens win if the humans run out of time or vote attempts, or they trick the humans into throwing one of their own out the airlock.

* ''VideoGame/TownOfSalem'' has three factions: the Townies (who must survive to the end of the game but don't know who the other townies are), the Mafia (who want to kill everyone and ''do'' know who their teammates are), and the neutral parties (who have their own individual win conditions). Townies and Mafias can only win if the other party all dies. Each day, the townspeople vote on who to lynch. A later update added the Coven as an additional faction opposed to both the Town and the Mafia.

''TabletopGame/Werewolf1997'' is the TropeCodifier and many games follow this template: there's a secret killer hidden within the group, and the rest have to figure out who it is before all TenLittleMurderVictims are offed [[DwindlingParty one by one]]. However, there are many ways to expand and complicate the Social Deduction Game, such as by adding more teams, roles, and various other mechanics, or by [[GenreMashup mixing it with other genres]]. Some games have this as an optional or random aspect of the larger gameplay.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Wordwolf}}'' is a game where each player is assigned a word, but one player (the werewolf) is assigned a different word from the others that is related to the others' word. After a few minutes of discussion the players will vote on who they think is the werewolf; if they correctly pick the werewolf the werewolf still has a chance to win through making a guess on the others' word. The game was originally outlined as a simple word game on the creator's blog, but has since had published tabletop and video game adaptations.

* ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' features a bunch of AmbiguouslyHuman creatures scurrying around a spaceship/research station/space station, with at least one "Impostor" among them. The crewmates run around the maps and do maintenance tasks, while the impostor blends among them and tries to sabotage the facility and kill them all without anyone noticing or suspecting them during team meetings. The impostor(s) win if crewmates no longer outnumber them, making victory a mathematical certainty; the crewmates win if they finish all their tasks (including ghosts of dead crewmates) or eliminate all the impostors. Impostors have access to features that let them kill more effectively, such as using air vents to [[WarpWhistle relocate instantly]] across the map, but of course being caught diving in or popping out of a vent by a crewmate is a death sentence.
