Add a Chat Menu for Online Lobbies #178
Description
I'd like to suggest adding a chat feature to the online version of Secret Hitler. Right now, players in online lobbies can't communicate with each other during the game, which makes it harder to discuss policies, defend accusations, or strategize—key parts of what makes the game fun and social.
A built-in chat menu (either text or voice, or both) would help recreate the in-person experience, improve communication, and make the game more engaging. It could be lobby-based, with optional private messaging or role-restricted chat (e.g., fascists during the game start). Ideally, players should also have the ability to mute or report others to maintain a safe environment.
Thanks for considering this—adding chat would be a big upgrade to the gameplay experience.
