rules
Spyfall is a 2014 card game for 3–8 players designed by Alexandr Ushan and published by Hobby World. A sequel, Spyfall 2, was published in 2017.
Each player receives an identical location from a predetermined list of locations, except one player who is the "spy". The spy has to guess the location, while other players have to identify the spy. Players ask one another questions, trying to lure the spy out without giving them too much information. At any time during the game, or at its end when the timer runs out, one player can accuse another of being the spy; if there is a consensus and a spy is identified, the spy loses; otherwise, the spy wins.
In this implementation of Spyfall as an online web game, players can choose to use locations from the original game or its sequel, or add their own custom locations. Players also have the option to play with two spies. The timer can be set in increments of minutes between 1 and 60. The game has a minimum of 3 players per room, and there is no upper limit, but a maximum of 8 players is recommended.
