Which Roblox game has players randomly assigned as murderer, sheriff, or innocents?

The story behind the answer

Murder Mystery 2 is the Roblox game in which players are randomly assigned as the murderer, sheriff, or innocents.

It is a social-deduction game built around hidden roles. The murderer tries to eliminate the other players, the sheriff attempts to identify and shoot the murderer, and the innocents must survive while helping determine who is dangerous. Each round turns ordinary movement through a map into a tense investigation.

The sheriff’s weapon creates the game’s central balance: the murderer has the offensive advantage, but the sheriff can end the round by making the correct shot. If the sheriff is eliminated, an innocent may recover the dropped weapon and become the hero, giving the remaining players another chance.

Players sometimes confuse Murder Mystery 2 with other Roblox action games because it includes knives, weapons, and combat. Its defining feature is not simply fighting, however; it is the random role assignment and deduction. The game was created by Nikilis and became one of Roblox’s best-known social-deduction experiences.
