The Origin of Secret Hitler Prime

Co-Founder & Lead Developer
Secret Hitler Prime didn't start as a business plan, a product pitch, or a coding experiment.
It started with curiosity. 🔍
🌟 Where It All Began
Articade had always been deeply intrigued by the Secret Hitler board game—not just as a game, but as a concept. The psychology, the tension, the social deduction, and the way a single lie could shift an entire room fascinated him.
Eventually, he introduced the game to his longtime real-life best friend, BoomSquad.
Both were instantly hooked. 🎯
What started as casual gameplay quickly turned into something more:"Why doesn't this exist properly on Discord?" At the time, options were limited, clunky, or unreliable. The experience just didn't translate well online.
⚡ The First Spark
While searching for solutions, Articade discovered a barebones implementation of Secret Hitler created by DuckCoolBoy on GitHub. It was simple, rough around the edges—but it worked.
Articade ran the bot with friends.
The response was immediate:
- 😆 Excitement
- 🤣 Laughter
- 🤔 Suspicion
- 🔥 "We need to play this again."
That was the moment Articade realized something important:
This could be great.
Not just playable—but immersive, automated, secure, and scalable.
🔧 From Barebones to Vision
Over the following months, Articade began rebuilding and expanding the bot:
- ✅ Improving game flow
- ✅ Fixing edge cases
- ✅ Enhancing secrecy
- ✅ Tightening rule enforcement
- ✅ Making the experience smoother and more intuitive
But passion projects have a cost. 💔
After months of intense development, Articade hit burnout and stepped away. The project went quiet—not abandoned, but paused.
🚀 The Comeback
Six months later, everything changed.
BoomSquad—who had believed in the project from the beginning—stepped in and reignited the vision. He didn't just encourage Articade to continue. He joined him.
From that point forward, Secret Hitler Prime stopped being a solo project.
BoomSquad became a co-owner, and not just in title. He contributed direction, feedback, testing, decision-making, and momentum. His involvement shaped the project in fundamental ways, carrying at least half—if not more—of the weight required to transform the bot into what it is today.
Although Articade laid the foundation, Secret Hitler Prime would not exist in its current form without BoomSquad's contribution.
Ownership wasn't given.
It was earned. 🏆
🎮 What Secret Hitler Prime Became
Together, Articade and BoomSquad rebuilt the project from the ground up with a single goal:
Do Secret Hitler right on Discord. 🎯
That meant:
- 🎲 A real game engine—not command spam
- 🔒 Secure private threads instead of DMs
- ⚙️ Fully automated rule enforcement
- 🎙️ Optional voice narration and visuals
- 🌐 A web dashboard for proper hosting
- 💪 Stability, recovery, and scalability
- 📜 Respect for the original game and its license
Secret Hitler Prime is the result of friendship, obsession, burnout, revival, and collaboration—not a shortcut.
💡 Why We Built This
We didn't build Secret Hitler Prime to replace the board game.
We built it because we loved it—and wanted to experience that same tension, chaos, and mind games with friends anywhere in the world, without friction, without mistakes, and without compromise.
📅 Today
Secret Hitler Prime is maintained, expanded, and supported by its founders with one guiding principle:
Let players focus on deception and deduction—while the system handles everything else. 🎭
This isn't just a bot.
It's the evolution of a game we couldn't stop thinking about. ✨
