We're super excited to announce that we're heading to EGX this September!

Hearing from you directly about your experience with Republic of Jungle is invaluable to us as developers. So, we're genuinely extremely excited to get to go to an in-person event again and to hopefully meet some of you there. We will post a map of our position on the show floor closer to the event, so keep an eye out for that.

Streamers and Content Creators

If you're thinking of playing Republic of Jungle on stream, we want to help. We'd love to chat with you about how we can make streaming RoJ as seamless as possible. We will be taking the names of those who would like to make Republic of Jungle content at our booth, across EGX, so drop by and let us know if you're thinking of doing so. We will also be opening applications to join our Ambassador Programme (more details to follow soon) on the first day of the event and will be giving exclusive RoJ merch to those who apply, whilst stocks last.

It's Showtime!

On the Sunday we'll be live on the EGX Stage where our Jarvis will be joined by WhatCulture Gaming's Scott Tailford, Jules Gil & James Dowsee, plus Twitch Partner Nikoheart.
Head to the stage area for 1:30 pm to watch us reveal the brand new version of Republic of Jungle LIVE! We will be playing a couple of rounds with the boys and can already foresee the chaos that will unfold. Trust us, you won't want to miss this! Then we will be adding a couple of players to the roster when we ask two people from the audience to join us on stage to play one final round with us. We may even have a few things to giveaway during the show...who knows?

Hope to See You There

We'd love to meet you all. So, please do find us at our booth to say hello or join us for a meet and greet after our show on Sunday, where you'll get the chance to meet Nikoheart and the WhatCulture Gaming guys and to chat to Jarvis about Republic of Jungle, should you have any questions. Looking forward to meeting you all. Team Gerdoo Games.

What you do in the game

In Republic of Jungle, you and your friends play as the staff of the Bite House, where President Puma is the sitting president of the Republic and his administration is under pressure by frequent leaks and publicized scandals. There are rumors of an undercover agent infiltrating the ranks, and The President is trying to save himself by all means necessary. You might be a leaker trying to undermine the president, or a Loyalist trying to keep the president in power. There are hidden roles and powers in play that can turn the tides at any moment.

A unique experience

Each player having a private screen opens up new possibilities for designing social deduction games. The devil is in the details, and you have to experience it to fully feel the difference, but here is some details:

Are you a social deduction fan? Here is why you’ll love Republic of Jungle

Do you love social deduction games like Mafia, Werewolf, The Resistance and Secret Hitler? We do too! But we noticed some shortcomings in the genre. They are sometimes hard to set up and inconvenient to play. Some games need too much room or a big table, some require a moderator with godlike precision, some require to close your eyes for minutes, and quite often the game is ruined because someone forgot to do their part correctly or a newbie player asked the wrong question and revealed their secret. We have built Republic of Jungle to address to these issues and distill the fun of social deduction games into a more enjoyable and convenient experience. Inspired by Jackbox Games, we have built a platform where players can use their smartphones (or any device with a browser) to play the game. This way, the game does all the moderation for you, guides the players throughout the game and adds a fun narrative on top. More importantly, we have unique mechanics specific to this platform because they are almost impossible to implement in a traditional tabletop setting.
