Find the spy among you or blend in without being caught.

- Social deduction
Spyfall is a conversation game built on deduction and bluffing. At the start of a round every player receives the same location and a personal role within it. Everyone except one: the spy has no idea where the group is and has to work it out without drawing attention.
Players take turns questioning each other. A good question is specific enough to catch someone who does not know the location, yet vague enough not to hand that location to the spy. That tension is what makes each round tense.
The group wins by identifying and convicting the spy through a vote. The spy wins by surviving until the timer runs out, or by correctly naming the location.
How to play
- 1Create a room and share the link or the six-character code with your friends.
- 2Pick a themed pack: school, university, office, horror, gaming, nature, history, sci-fi, sports, food and more.
- 3Once the round starts, open your card to see the location and your role — or the note that you are the spy.
- 4Take turns asking other players questions and listen closely to the answers.
- 5When you suspect someone, call them out and let the table vote.
- 6Convict the spy before time runs out to win. The spy wins by guessing the location or surviving the timer.
Highlights
- Three to twelve players per room
- 15 themed packs, 330 locations
- Adjustable round length
- Live vote tallying
- Separate win statistics for civilians and the spy
Tactics and tips
- Ask questions that cannot be answered in one word. "Do you like it here?" reveals nothing; "what can you hear around you?" forces a concrete detail.
- Do not open with the most obvious feature of the location. If your first question is "are you wearing a gown?", you have handed the spy a hospital.
- Watch who people question. A spy rarely asks first and is happy to redirect attention elsewhere.
- As the spy, answer in generalities and ask back. "What do you reckon?" buys time and sounds natural.
- An accusation is a resource, not a reaction. Convict the wrong person and the spy simply runs out the clock.
Common mistakes
- Voting at the first hesitation. Someone may just be thinking, and the group has already spent its attempt.
- Naming the location out loud to test someone. That is exactly what the spy was waiting for.
- Civilians answering so precisely that they describe the location for everyone, spy included.
Every Spyfall location
330 locations in 15 packs. The host picks a pack when creating the room; each location comes with twenty roles, so everyone has something to talk about.
