Spyfall

[Ghanderflaffle she/her]

So I just discovered this party game called Spyfall. It is super fun and can get a little crazy, but the basic premise is that everyone joins a game (it’s a website) and then everyone gets a location and a role except for the spy. One person will then ask another person a question such as “What color is most common in your workplace?” The other person will respond with something vague. The players are trying to find out who the spy is before the spy discovers where everyone is, which is why questions and answers are vague.

Here's a bit more in depth explanation pulled off the card game version.

Spoiler

SPYFALL is an easy-to-learn card game of bluffing, probing questions, clever answers, and suspicion. At the start of each round, players receive a secret card informing them of the group's location – a casino, space station, pirate ship, circus, (30 unique locations!) – except that one player receives the SPY card instead of the location. The Spy doesn’t know where they are, but wins the round if they can figure it out before they blow their cover!

Players then start asking each other questions during the intense 8-minute rounds. 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.

Once per round, each player may accuse another player of being the Spy. If all players agree, the game ends and that player’s secret card is flipped up. If the Spy is captured, each of the Non-Spy players win the round. If a Non-Spy is revealed, the Spy wins. Finally, if the Spy figures out where they are, they can reveal their card and make a guess. If they're right, they win the round. If not, the Non-Spy players win.

I was wondering if anyone wanted to play this. I would make a discord server, as it's best played vocally as people actually have to ask questions. Here's the website: https://spyfall.adrianocola.com/

Also, I can add custom locations, so we could do Shattered Plains and stuff like that.

Absolutely I want to play! I didn’t know there was a website, I’ve just got the app for the game.

Well good thing I made the discord already then! I don’t know who all would be interest in this, but feel free to join.

Truthless I’ll just send you an invite in discord since you’re on my friends list.

I got a notification that you mentioned me in this topic. I am confused  and while I am in the SE crew (and I technically did join the discord) I don't think that tag actually summons the entire SE crew

Ooh, this sounds fun.

[Channelknight Fadran]

It looks pretty interesting.

I've played before. Happy to do it again.

[Lunamor she/her]

Thanks for thinking of me for this! Unfortunately I don’t use Discord, so I can’t play.

[Condensation she/her]

I might play, depends on how busy I am. Thanks for thinking of me!

[Experience he/him]

I don't use discord, sorry.

I had you mentioned, then I remembered you were already on the server so I deleted it.

Thank you for thinking of me!

Count me in! Do you have a timeline of some sorts  when you plan to start and all that?

[AonEne he/him]

I don't know how much I'll be able to play, but I'll give it a shot!

Whenever we get enough people. Go ahead and join the discord, I think we should have enough people now. It would probably be a weekends thing, the main problem that I always seem to forget about is time zones.
