What Do the Roles Do in Dawson Oaks Trailer Park?
Dawson Oaks Trailer Park splits a lobby into three role groups: Suspects commit role-specific crimes while trying not to expose themselves. The Supervisor watches the lobby, gathers information and calls the police. The Snitch blends in as a Suspect while secretly reporting to the Supervisor. The official Steam page lists 11 different Suspect roles.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Suspects | Commit role-specific urges, stay stable and avoid exposing what role you have. |
| Supervisor | Watch behavior, identify what people are doing and call the police with useful information. |
| Snitch | Pretend to be a normal Suspect, track everyone and secretly report to the Supervisor. |
How do the Suspects work?
Suspects are the main criminal roles.
Each Suspect has urges connected with the role.
The official rule summary says waiting too long to satisfy those urges makes the character more unstable and easier to expose.
At the same time, acting too obviously gives other players information.
That creates the central trade-off:
do enough to stay stable
hide what your specific role is
watch for the Snitch

The exact actions differ by role, but they all use the same basic secrecy-and-urge loop.
What does the Supervisor do?
The Supervisor is the public authority role.
The official Steam description says the Supervisor watches everyone, figures out what people are doing and calls the police.
The important resource is information.
Calling too early without understanding the lobby can waste the advantage of being the only openly investigative role.
What does the Snitch do?
The Snitch looks like a Suspect but secretly works with the Supervisor.
The role tracks player behavior and reports what it learns.
That makes the Snitch unusually informed, but also vulnerable.
If the Suspects correctly identify the Snitch, they can remove the hidden informant from the equation.
How do meetings work?
Suspects can call a meeting.
Everyone gathers and votes on who they think the Snitch is.
If the vote is wrong, the real Snitch stays hidden.
If the vote is right, the Suspects gain control of the situation by exposing the informant.
What should you remember before your first lobby?
If you are a Suspect:
manage your urges without making your role obvious.
If you are the Supervisor:
observe first and treat information as your main tool.
If you are the Snitch:
blend in and avoid acting like the person who knows everything.
Those three jobs explain most of the first-match confusion.
