The case

The cake was
butchered.

A family of villains. A birthday party. A chocolate cake devoured before anyone blew out a candle.

All guilty. Obviously. All but one. Someone at this table did not touch the cake, and that one is the real monster. Because in a family of monsters, innocence is betrayal.

Vilom is a card game of bluff and deduction where every round reveals a little more, never everything. You accuse, you lie, you betray. The goal: unmask the only one who did nothing, before the family tears you to pieces. Literally.

How to play

Six candles
to unmask the innocent.

01

The table fills up

Nine villains, one wrecked cake, nobody confessing. You know who you are. You know nothing about the others. The candles are lit: the countdown starts.

First glances
02

It all goes wrong

Someone starts humming for no reason. Someone else has gone completely silent. Your neighbour has been accusing you for ten minutes and it wasn't even their idea. Nobody lies by choice here.

Chaos sets in
03

The verdict

Last candle out. Together you count, then you point. And you finally see who has been acting all evening — the most innocent of us all.

Sinister… sombre… shroud!
The cast

The suspects.

Nine members of a family unlike any other. One of them is telling the truth. Find out which.

Origins

The story behind the game.

A bunch of friends
raised on horror films.

It all starts with three teenage friends obsessed with horror films, who spent their evenings dreaming up scenarios together. Only much later did one of them have the idea of turning it into a card game of their own!

Families who
never asked for this.

Time passed and each of them started a family. Partners, children and pets never asked for any of this, innocent for sure. But when you're a villain, the opinion of the innocent counts for nothing!

Whole evenings,
all together.

Vilom came out of one simple wish: spend game nights all together, enjoy being in the same room, have fun for hours and build, through sweet madness, unforgettable memories for every generation.
