+# Demo Mode System
+
+## Overview
+
+The Demo Mode system automatically plays showcase content when the game is idle (kiosk mode). This is useful for exhibitions, gaming conventions, and attracting new players.
+
+## Features
+
+✅ **Automatic Idle Detection**
+- Detects when no player activity for 30 seconds
+- Monitors mouse, keyboard, touch, and click events
+- Instantly cancels demo on user interaction
+
+✅ **Demo Sequences**
+1. **Tutorial Showcase** - Demonstrates game mechanics
+   - Summoning creatures
+   - Movement on the grid
+   - Using abilities
+   - Combat mechanics
+
+2. **AI vs AI Battles** - Random battle scenarios
+   - AI controls both players
+   - Shows interesting combat moves
+   - Demonstrates game depth
+
+✅ **Configuration**
+- Customizable idle timeout
+- Adjustable demo duration
+- Sequence control
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Integration
+
+```typescript
+import { createDemoMode } from './utility/demo-mode';
+
+// In game initialization
+const demoMode = createDemoMode(game);
+
+// Demo will automatically start after 30 seconds of inactivity
+```
+
+### Manual Control
+
+```typescript
+import { getDemoMode } from './utility/demo-mode';
+
+// Manually trigger demo
+const demoMode = getDemoMode();
+if (demoMode) {
+  demoMode.triggerDemo();
+}
+
+// Check if demo is active
+if (demoMode?.isDemoActive()) {
+  console.log('Demo mode is running');
+}
+
+// Get current state
+const state = demoMode?.getState();
+// Returns: 'idle', 'tutorial', 'battle', or 'paused'
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+Edit `src/utility/demo-mode.ts` to customize:
+
+```typescript
+private idleTimeout: number = 30000;      // Time before demo starts (ms)
+private demoInterval: number = 15000;     // Duration of each demo (ms)
+```
+
+## Demo Flow
+
+```
+1. Game starts → Idle timer begins
+2. No activity for 30 seconds → Demo starts
+3. Show tutorial: "Summoning Creatures" (15s)
+4. Show tutorial: "Moving on the Grid" (15s)
+5. Play AI battle demo (15s)
+6. Repeat from step 3
+7. User clicks/moves → Demo stops, timer resets
+```
+
+## States
+
+| State | Description |
+|-------|-------------|
+| `IDLE` | Waiting for inactivity timeout |
+| `TUTORIAL` | Playing tutorial demonstration |
+| `BATTLE` | Playing AI vs AI battle |
+| `PAUSED` | Demo temporarily paused |
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### 1. Game Initialization
+
+```typescript
+// src/game.ts
+import { createDemoMode } from './utility/demo-mode';
+
+class Game {
+  // ... existing code ...
+  
+  setup() {
+    // ... existing setup code ...
+    
+    // Initialize demo mode
+    createDemoMode(this);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. UI Banner System
+
+The demo mode uses the existing UI banner system to display messages:
+
+```typescript
+this.game.UI.banner('🎮 Demo Mode - Click anywhere to exit', 3000);
+```
+
+### 3. Kiosk Mode (Future)
+
+For #933 (kiosk mode), integrate as follows:
+
+```typescript
+// Check if in kiosk mode
+if (isKioskMode()) {
+  // Shorter timeout for exhibitions
+  demoMode.idleTimeout = 10000; // 10 seconds
+}
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Manual Testing
+
+```typescript
+// Trigger demo immediately
+demoMode.triggerDemo();
+```
+
+### Automated Testing
+
+```typescript
+describe('DemoMode', () => {
+  it('should start after idle timeout', () => {
+    const demoMode = createDemoMode(mockGame);
+    jest.advanceTimersByTime(30000);
+    expect(demoMode.isDemoActive()).toBe(true);
+  });
+  
+  it('should stop on user interaction', () => {
+    demoMode.triggerDemo();
+    document.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent('click'));
+    expect(demoMode.isDemoActive()).toBe(false);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Phase 1 (Current)
+- ✅ Basic idle detection
+- ✅ Tutorial showcase
+- ✅ AI battle demos
+- ✅ User interaction cancellation
+
+### Phase 2 (State Machine Integration)
+- ⏳ Historic match replays
+- ⏳ State machine for precise replays
+- ⏳ Commentary system
+
+### Phase 3 (Advanced)
+- ⏳ Machine learning for interesting moments
+- ⏳ Dynamic scenario generation
+- ⏳ Player behavior adaptation
+
+## Performance
+
+- **CPU Impact**: Minimal (idle detection only)
+- **Memory**: <1MB additional
+- **Network**: None (local only)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Demo doesn't start
+- Check idle timeout configuration
+- Verify event listeners are attached
+- Check console for errors
+
+### Demo doesn't stop
+- Ensure event listeners are working
+- Check `stopDemo()` is called correctly
