NPC or DIE is a Roblox social-deduction game by the verified group arashiyama, where a whole town of players is secretly split into two sides. Sheriffs keep the peace and try to work out who the Criminals are, while Criminals complete tasks and sabotage the town without getting caught. The fun is in the bluffing, the watching, and the moment a Sheriff finally figures out who has been causing trouble.
The game launched in October 2022 and has grown past 340 million visits, with servers holding up to 9 players and weekly updates keeping the town fresh. You earn cash each round to spend on items, and there is a player-run trading side and a UGC shop for designing your character. This wiki covers how to play, how the Sheriff and Criminal roles work, tips for both sides, and the most-asked questions, plus links to the codes and scripts pages at the bottom.

How to Play NPC or DIE
- Load into a round and check your role. You will be either a Sheriff or a Criminal, and the other players will not know which one you are.
- If you are a Sheriff, keep the peace and watch the town for anyone acting suspicious so you can track down the Criminals.
- If you are a Criminal, complete your tasks and sabotage the town quietly, all while avoiding the Sheriffs and not blowing your cover.
- Earn cash through the round and spend it on items and cosmetics for your character.
- Use the votekick command (type ‘/votekick’ and a username) only when someone is genuinely cheating or breaking the round.
NPC or DIE Roles and Strategy
The heart of NPC or DIE is the hidden-role split between Sheriffs and Criminals. As a Sheriff, your job is to read the town: watch who lingers near objectives, who keeps slipping off on their own, and who acts nervous when you get close. The Criminals are trying to look like ordinary townsfolk, so the tells are in behavior rather than anything the game spells out for you.
Playing the Criminal side is all about cover. Do your tasks and sabotage when no Sheriff is watching, then act completely normal the rest of the time. The players who win as Criminal are the ones who stay patient, time their moves, and never give a Sheriff a clear reason to suspect them. Rushing your sabotage is the fastest way to get caught.
Cash ties the rounds together. Win or lose, you bank cash to spend on items and cosmetics, and joining the arashiyama group inside the game hands you a free item and a cash bonus to start with. The trading side and UGC shop give you a reason to keep earning, so the more rounds you play well on either side, the more you can kit out your character over time.
Tips for New NPC or DIE Players
- Learn both roles. Knowing what a Criminal is trying to do makes you a far better Sheriff, and the other way around.
- Watch behavior, not names. Criminals give themselves away by where they go and how they act, not by anything the game labels.
- As a Criminal, blend in. Do your sabotage only when no Sheriff is looking, and act like a normal townsperson the rest of the round.
- Redeem the codes for free cash, and grab the group reward for a free item and bonus cash before your first round.
- Use votekick fairly. Save it for genuine cheaters, not players you just happen to suspect of being a Criminal.
