Flicker Maps
Before the first night you get about 15 seconds (cut from 25 in 4.2.3) and three random choices. Majority wins. 2x Map Vote doubles a ballot when it is working — a long-running bug still shows the purchase prompt to owners. House dominates because everyone recognizes it. Update 4.4 added Black Creek House, a quiet suburban box people walk into and do not walk out of. This hub is the vote cheat sheet. Each layout has its own page.
The current pool
Active layouts: House, Farmstead, Sewers, Hospital, Woods, Area 8, Black Creek House. Fan concepts still floating: Tomb, JJ’s Diner, Underwater Facility. Sewers is the one with a named replacement tease (Stabber’s Alley). Classic, when it existed, locked House. If you are here for nostalgia, the House page is the museum.
How maps change the game
They do not change roles. They change how long people spend staring at a corpse instead of reading journals. Woods and Farmstead scatter players. Hospital and Area 8 cluster them. Sewers is unpopular and therefore a good pick if you want a less practiced table. Death scenes are random flavor; do not claim a well body “proves Murderer.” The outplay video in the middle is high-level play on these layouts, not a walking tour.
How to vote
If you own 2x Map Vote and the UI still nags you to buy it, your ballot may not be doubling. 4.4 fixed negative votes when an x2 owner flicked cards too fast, but the purchase-prompt bug can still lie. Party with friends if you actually need a layout. Do not spend the 15 seconds emoting. Look at the three cards and pick the one you have a death-scene memory for — familiarity is a real town advantage. House ate 45.6% of one 500-round sample; vote like you mean it.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers for the searches that follow a bad round.
How many maps are in rotation?
Seven if you count Black Creek House from 4.4. Three show up per vote.
Can I play only Woods?
Not solo. Party with people who vote the same, or buy 2x and still get outvoted.
Does lantern matter more on some maps?
Yes. Woods and Sewers punish unlit walking. House is readable without it.
Are death scenes unique per map?
Yes. House has the famous TV-head. Area 8 has plasma. They are cosmetic.
