From my experiences at RailsCamp werewolf is a wonderful leveler, be you the local coding celebrity or a total newbie you could both join the fun and spar or join forces and create a shared narrative together.

As a railcamp (hackfest weekend event) organiser, I often encouraged everyone to take time on the first night to play a big werewolf game, it was an excellent bonding experience and lead to more collaboration and coding across the rest of the camp.

So I disagree, werewolf improves the camp IMHO.
