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. 1

    Split into teams

    Form a red team and a blue team, and pick one spymaster for each. Everyone else is a guesser.

  2. 2

    Share the key

    Put the table on a screen everyone can see. Send the spymaster key link only to the two spymasters.

  3. 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.

  4. 4

    Guess, carefully

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