# Frequently Asked Questions

## The AI

**Q: Does the AI cheat by seeing everyone's roles?**
A: No. The deterministic director holds the only copy of the truth and filters information by identity — each AI seat receives only what its role is entitled to know, on a fixed-length memory card. A good-aligned agent never sees the wolves' private channel. The AI can lie about its role, but it cannot peek at yours.

**Q: Why does the AI bluff and frame people?**
A: Each AI turn runs in two stages — private strategy, then a public statement — so agents will fake-claim roles, frame innocents, and play reverse-hook gambits on purpose. See **The AI Engine** for how it works.

**Q: Does AI Partyworld use RAG or read from a novel?**
A: No. There's no source text, no retrieval, no vector index. The agents reason only over the live game state the director gives them. The full architecture is on **The AI Engine** page.

## Games

**Q: Which games can I play?**
A: Ten games are live: Werewolf, Liar's Dice, Undercover, Spyfall, Avalon, Crime Scene, The Chameleon, Codenames, One Night Werewolf, and Decrypto.

**Q: How much does a game cost?**
A: Billing is ticket-based — every match costs **6 ink drops per player**, so a 6-player match costs 36 ink drops. The setup page shows the full table total before the whole match runs free, with no per-turn charge. Top-up is live through card, Alipay, and cryptocurrency checkout.

**Q: Where can I review top-ups and charges?**
A: Open **Account & Usage**. Top-ups and the balance belong to the shared ai-Xworld wallet. The default spend view shows Party tickets only; switch to **All products** to reconcile charges made in Wuxiaworld or another product. Model-token usage stays separate per product.

**Q: Can I play right now?**
A: Yes. All ten games in the catalog are playable now.

## Account & Data

**Q: How do I register or sign in?**

**Q: Is my data private?**
A: Yes. Your match history and session data are private to your account. Email contact@ai-partyworld.ink to request access, export, or deletion.

## Technical

**Q: What browsers are supported?**
A: Any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). We recommend the latest version.

**Q: Why did the AI play differently than last time?**
A: LLM output is non-deterministic, so the same situation can unfold differently from match to match. That's by design — it keeps every game replayable.
