Dun dun dun!

Actually, I never had a clue where we were specifically...the closest I'd gotten was a town or city in the winter. My primary strategy was to lay low and hope someone else would appear suspicious, and that person was Chanku in the end...in fairness, his repeating the same questions and generic answers made it understandable. I would have thought he was the spy too if I hadn't already known for a fact that he wasn't.

Wintermoot, do you like the horses?
I thought this was going to be the shortest game ever when this was the very first question. Knowing the location and roles, I'm still not sure what horses Sapphiron's talking about here, but I suppose it threw me off by making me think it was in the past or perhaps in a rural town.

Actually, for her role that was the perfect question to ask.  I'm assuming she was going for the fact of horse and carriages being a rather common thing in New York and especially around central park.  And being a little girl, that'd be something that she'd most definitely notice.

I actually wasn't aware of that.

Really?  You should watch more kids movies centered in New York.    You see them all over in those movies, and they had to pull that from somewhere.  If you watch a Simple Wish, the main character's dad actually earns a living that way. 

Aww, so it was Wintermoot.

Didn't know there was horses in Central Park either... I was very confused.
And Chanku I see what you were likely trying to do in keeping it vague and trying not to give anything to the spy but in doing so you also didn't give anything to your fellow members...
In this game, a note to all people, a better strategy is to tip off the ones around you that you know what's going on because no matter what we all start out with a lot more power and knowledge than the spy...

Fast games are strong games and spy fall should always be quick...
Congratulations to Wintermoot for winning...

I did some quick research on Central Park.

I never realised you could fish in central park, so I almost started a vote over that.

It's a catch and release location only... Barely real fishing...

I did some quick research on Central Park.

This is one thing that is usually encouraged in Spyfall, especially if locations and possibly roles are very specific like this one was.  The more info you have on the place you've been assigned, the more you can use at your disposal to throw the Spy off track.

And considering locations have no set prerequsites outside of the fact that they must be something that a spy could guess (so time periods are open to interpretation as well), it can end up becoming a necessity (if the location was Middle Ages England, and people were assigned as real people from that era, for example)

So I'm curious, what are the prospects on another game?

I'd play again

Well I figured I'd let someone else take the reins of hosting next game, since the idea of how it's played is pretty much out there.
