If anybody is interested in a game of Spyfall I am willing to host a new game of it.


Here are the rules for those who have forgotten or are new to the game.  There can be eight players maximum, one will be the spy, the other seven will have some kind of role.

At the start of a game of Spyfall, all players receive a PM from the host, telling them the same location — a casino, a traveling circus, a pirate ship, or even a space station — except that one player receives a PM only telling them that they are a Spy, instead. The Spy doesn’t know where they are, but wins the game if they can figure it out before they blow their cover!

A randomly selected player is chosen to go first. This player will ask any one other player a question — "Why are you dressed so strangely?" or "When was the last time we got a payday?" or anything else you can come up with, though obviously not just what the location is or what other players’ roles are — trying to guess who among them is the Spy. That player will then answer the question and then ask any other player a question. In other words, you may not ask a question to the player who asked you a question. The Spy doesn't know where he is, so he has to listen carefully. Non-Spy players want to ask questions and give answers that prove to the other players that they know where they are. But watch out! If your questions and answers are too specific, the Spy will easily guess the location and win, so you need to practice a bit of subtlety. But if your questions and answers are too generic, you might be accused of being the Spy. The Spy will also sometimes be asked questions (just like any other player would) and have to come up with questions of his own, without knowing anything about where he is! If you listened carefully to the other players, you’ll be able to come up with a plausible question or answer… hopefully.

At any time during the game, one player may accuse another of being a Spy. If all other players agree with the accusation, the game ends and the accused player has to reveal his identity. If a Non-Spy is revealed, the Spy wins; but if the Spy is uncovered, all other players win. Alternatively, if the Spy figures out where they are, they can reveal their identity and make a guess. If they're right, they win the game; but if not, the Non-Spy players win.

I will add the rule that Pengu used in the first forum game of Spyfall where the spy can't accuse someone else of being the spy.  That would just make it too easy.

If enough players sign up then I plan to host this game beginning by the end of this week if not next week.  If anybody is worried about an extremely obscure location being used, don't.  This will be a generic location but without a theme.  No C&C Spyfall for now.

If you are interested.  Go ahead and sign up.  If you have questions I can try to answer them.

I’d like to point out that a rule like that would mean that if somebody accused someone, you know for certain that the accuser can’t be a spy.

And I would argue that it’s not too easy because the accuser still has to get everyone else to agree with them.

I agree with mathy on this one.

I guess that does make sense after thinking about it.  I was thinking the spy could deflect attention away from themselves with a random accusation.  Although depending on how random it is the spy might trigger suspicion from other players.

New strategy: Everyone immediately accuse one random person of being a spy, but don't confirm those votes, until one person is left who must be the spy. Much more reliable than actually asking any questions.

If you don't fill the game with other players, you can add me. I'm trying to get you a few more players though.

Edit: Thanks for taking the time to host a game, by the way!

Who are some of the active new people to the forums?

I know @Crushita has played this game along with @BraveSirRobin and @Pengu  .

I would like to also get some new people in this game but the newest people do not seem to be active very often.

@Mhaadi
@Blake
@January

FYI: There are 2 open spots left.

New people are always kinda hit and miss...some people sign up for Citizenship and you never see them again, and then some stay for years and years. Hopefully some will sign up though.

The holidays plus the flu makes for a quiet start for me around here.  I'll be more active once things get back to normal! I'm just in lurker mode for a bit longer.

PS - Happy New Year and thanks for the offer!

Hopefully it is not too bad.
