What Is ModernMaffia?

ModernMaffia is a browser-based organized-crime game. No app, no download — you log in, run rackets, and build a name for yourself one crime at a time. This page is the deep dive; if you just want a quick answer, the FAQ is faster.

Picking a specialization

Every player chooses one of four paths at signup:

• Street — the drug trade is your world: bonus Demand Board orders and lower bust risk on deliveries.
• Hacker — you (and your crew, if you have one) see live drug prices in every city at once, not just the one you're standing in.
• Financier — you cut a better deal laundering money, for yourself and for crewmates who route their wash through you.
• Marksman — PvP and bounty hunting are your lane: target intel, a head start on hit contracts, and reduced Heat from hits.

You're not locked in forever. Your Profile page has a "Danger Zone" reset that wipes your character back to a fresh start — cash, rank, stats, gear, all of it, except your crew — but it can only be used once every 7 days. Pick with intent; don't treat it as a costume change.

The four numbers that run your character

• Energy — spent on crimes, regenerates on its own over time. This is what paces how much you can grind in one sitting.
• Nerve — gates riskier plays: PvP, jailbreaks, some higher-tier crimes.
• Health — drops when you lose a fight and land in the hospital.
• Heat — attention from the law. Rises as you commit crimes (faster while holding stolen gear), and if it climbs too high you risk a raid or a jail stint. It cools on its own, or you can bribe it down.

Everything else in the game — crews, territory, PvP, the drug trade, hit contracts — builds on top of these four.
