    I'm not sure what to call what I'm trying to do right now (hence the '?' in the subject), but I want to make a list of all pervasive-esque games that are played in what I'm calling "parlor-style." Games that have already made my list are:

    Mafia/Werewolf/Red Scare (All the same game with different themes)
    Capetown
    The Resistance
    The Things
    Grand Emperor
    Standoff
    Hermit's House
    The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen

    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

    NOTE: I'm currently reading through the games listed on Ludocity, and I'll post games that fit the list as I find them. In the meantime, feel free to tell me games (even if they're on here) to look at. Thanks!

    Maybe Hermit's House fits into my list? I haven't read the rules yet...

    What is the game "Ghost" about? I read about it on the fire hazard site...

    We're having an evening for games roughly in this mould at the Hide&Seek Weekender at the end of the month, and I think the inclusions that are a bit parlour-game-y are:
    Hermit's House
    Standoff
    Capetown
    Grand Emperor
    Ponzi!
    Privacy is Dead
    The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen (which is not a Ludocity game - it's a published game by James Wallis)

    Thanks for the suggestions, Holly. I've always wanted to play The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen (minus all the stupid alcoholic, sexual, or racist fluff)... So basically, the game can be played without all that anyway - it's just a storytelling game.

    So I guess the only games I need to "relook into" are:

    Ponzi!

    I think Kevan has a game on his website (www.kevan.org) that would fit in this category.
