icon Roles


 

L

Goal: Give orders to Investigators and use special abilities such as the Meeting Guide to figure out who is Kira and Surveillance Cameras to monitor rooms remotely in order to catch Kira. If you are eliminated by Kira, Team L automatically loses.

DEATH NOTE APPLE ICON

L is the commander of the investigator team. Using their additional abilities, the L player should be focused on understanding who among the players are loyal investigators and who is Kira secretly hiding in the shadows.

KIRA

Goal: Use the Death Note to judge L — who is hidden among the players — using true names that are discovered by stealing IDs. Complete tasks to get a command card by filling the team’s gauge. Being arrested while holding the Death Note will result in a loss for your team.

DEATH NOTE APPLE ICON

Kira is the player who is holding the Death Note at the start of the game. Kira can choose to judge players if Kira knows a player’s true name. Kira can also swap the Death Note with Kira Follower to avoid detection.

INVESTIGATOR

Goal: Write down anyone suspicious in your Investigation Notepad, cooperate with L to catch Kira, and complete tasks to get a command card for L. Your notepad will serve as a clue if you die.

DEATH NOTE APPLE ICON

Investigators have a series of tasks to complete which gather information about the movements and whereabouts of players. They are L’s eyes and ears, and their observations are critical to unmasking Kira. They should take care to limit situations where their ID can be stolen and be sure to note any suspicious contact just in case.

KIRA FOLLOWER

Goal: Steal Investigator IDs for Kira and complete tasks to get a command card for Kira.

DEATH NOTE APPLE ICON

Kira needs the official names of a target before they can be judged with the Death Note so you should be the very person to support Kira.

A Kira follower can also be transferred to the Death Note for Kira if the Kira player has drawn too much suspicion.
