Secret Hitler is a dramatic game of political intrigue and betrayal set in 1930's Germany. Players are secretly divided into two teams - liberals and fascists. Known only to each other, the fascists coordinate to sow distrust and install their cold-blooded leader. The liberals must find and stop the Secret Hitler before it’s too late.

Current production/stable is found at Secret Hitler IO.

You'll most likely need a browser extension such as Chrome's openMultiLogin to have multiple sessions on the same browser. No, incognito will not work.

I'll leave you to figure that out. SH.IO is currently a $10/month digital ocean box using nginx, lets encrypt, and PM2.
