How to Play Spy Game

Learn the rules in under a minute — then jump straight into the fun.

1. Set Up Your Game

Choose the number of players (3–10), how many spies, the timer duration (1–10 minutes), and pick a word category: Countries, Objects, Sports, Places, Animals, or Transport.

2. Pass the Phone

Each player takes the phone and taps their card to reveal their role. Regular players see the secret word. The spy sees "You are a spy" — and must figure out what the word is.

3. Ask Questions

Players take turns asking each other questions about the word. The goal is to figure out who the spy is — without giving away the word itself. Be clever with your questions!

4. Vote & Win

When the timer runs out, everyone votes on who they think the spy is. If the group catches the spy, they win. But if the spy correctly guesses the word, the spy wins instead!
