Overview

In Spyfall, players find themselves in a shared location, but one among them is secretly the Spy! All players except the Spy receive a card indicating the location, such as a casino, a space station, or a pirate ship. The Spy, however, only knows that they are in a secret location.

The game revolves around subtle questioning and careful observation. Players take turns asking each other questions designed to expose the Spy without revealing too much about the location itself. The Spy must use their wit and memory to blend in, answering questions believably while attempting to deduce the location. If the Spy can correctly identify the location or avoid detection until the end of the round, they win. Otherwise, the other players succeed in uncovering the Spy!
