Split into red and blue. Spymasters give one-word clues that tie together their team's agents on the board, while teammates guess — hoping to dodge rival agents and the assassin. Put the board on a shared screen and send the spymasters their secret key link.
How to play
- 1
Split into teams
Form a red team and a blue team, and pick one spymaster for each. Everyone else is a guesser.
- 2
Share the key
Put the table on a screen everyone can see. Send the spymaster key link only to the two spymasters.
- 3
Give one-word clues
On your turn, your spymaster says one word and a number: how many of your agents that word points to.

Guess, carefully
Tap words to reveal them. A bystander ends your turn, a rival agent helps them, and the assassin loses you the game.
