About the Game

Potion Problems

A chaotic social deduction party game for 4–10 players set in a whimsical world of magic and mischief.

Welcome to Pigeonpoint’s College for Potion Making, where not everything is as it seems. In Potion Problems, players are secretly divided into two teams—Apprentices and Troublemakers—and must either follow the rules or stir up magical mayhem.

Who will brew, and who will betray?

  • Apprentices craft unique potions and work toward meeting their potion quota.

  • Troublemakers use the forbidden Frog Potion to transform apprentices into frogs and derail their progress.

When a frog is found, the group votes on who they think is responsible. Accuse wisely—your closest ally might be the one causing all the trouble.

Key Features:

  • Multiplayer Mayhem: Supports 4 to 10 players online or over local connection

  • Secret Roles: Collaborate or deceive depending on your hidden identity

  • Strategic Deduction: Gather clues, build trust, and figure out who’s working against you

  • Whimsical Setting: Explore a colorful, magical campus full of surprises

  • High Replayability: New dynamics every round keep the gameplay fresh

Win Conditions:

  • Apprentices win by completing their potion quota before too many are turned into frogs, or if they vote out all the troublemakers.

  • Troublemakers win if the majority of apprentices are transformed into frogs.

Blend strategy, social deception, and magical chaos in Potion Problems—where every game is a bubbling mix of suspense and fun.
