"night-long" social deduction games?

Hi all!

I'm hosting a medieval themed party with a large group of friends, and wanted to try and find/put together a game that operates similarly to werewolf/Mafia, but can be played throughout the party rather than the typical designated play time.

Is there a way to extend the play time of a game of werewolf, and having a secret task/signal to "kill" or "save" people instead of the eyes-closed and looking at people's cards etc.

I've tried looking this up, but Google is entirely unhelpful and I'm struggling to find anything about this. Hoping some of you might have done this before or have suggestions on how this could play out?

Thanks!!!

Planning around disabilities of family?

Hi all! Just looking for some insight, and Im sure I'm not the first or last person to have this come up.

My (F25) father is currently dealing with some yet to be diagnosed medical issues, and it's restraining his ability to move, and he's very easily exhausted and pained by something as simple as sitting down and having a conversation, let alone going out of the house for short periods of time. I love my dad dearly, and this has been really tough for the family as we all hate to see him suffering like this.

I live about a 10 hour drive away from my family, but my future inlaws and a majority of our guests live in our area.

As I look at venues, I'm stuck trying to make it accommodating and easy for everyone. In my family's area, the cost of venues is incredibly high compared to where we live, and there's some venues in between us that are still affordable, but would require a decent amount of travel for my dad.

In addition to this, I want to keep him as included as possible, as I know he wants to be as present and involved as he can, but I don't want to push him to far. I know he's going to do all that he can, but I don't want him to over extend himself and make him feel physically worse. He's the best person I know and we're very close, so I have no doubt that he will do too much for me, which is sweet, but I would hate to know that these circumstances will cause him pain and discomfort, and want to try and mitigate it if possible.

Has anyone been in a similar boat and have an experience to share, or is there any general advice? I know the obvious answer is to talk to him about it, but outside of that, what can I do to make this day something he won't feel left out of?

Thank you all :)
