Imposter Spy
Can you spot the spy who doesn't know the secret location? Ask clever questions, avoid suspicion, and uncover the imposter!
What is Imposter Spy?
Imposter Spy is a social deduction party game where players are given a secret location, but one player - the spy - receives no information. Through careful questioning and deduction, players must identify the spy before the spy figures out the location.
The game tests your ability to ask questions that prove you know the location without revealing it to the spy, while the spy must blend in and gather clues without exposing their ignorance. It's a perfect blend of strategy, psychology, and quick thinking!
How to Play Imposter Spy
Setup & Role Assignment
Each player receives a role card. Most players see the secret location (like "Beach" or "Hospital"), but one player is the spy and sees only "You are the spy!"
Question Round
Players take turns asking each other questions about the location. Good players ask questions that prove they know the location without giving it away to the spy.
Suspicion & Deduction
Listen carefully to answers. Vague responses, hesitation, or questions that are too generic might reveal the spy. But be careful - accusing an innocent player helps the spy!
Accusation & Victory
When ready, players can call for a vote to identify the spy. If the spy is caught, the location team wins! If an innocent is accused or the spy correctly guesses the location, the spy wins!
