How to Play with Friends in Town of Salem 2

Town of Salem 2 brings the multiplayer murder mystery game to a whole new level, with new mechanics, roles, and systems in play now, offering another layer of strategy to the game. Of course, these kinds of social deduction games are always way more fun with friends, so here is how to play with friends in Town of Salem 2.

How to group up with your friends in Town of Salem 2

As of writing, the only way to play with your friends in Town of Salem 2 is to use custom lobbies. Custom lobbies give you full control over the players in the game, as you will need to manually invite each player one by one.

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this effectively means you cannot play with both your friends and random players through matchmaking. This omission is especially notable since the original Town of Salem let you group with friends to play with strangers.
