The spy can always see the location of the sniper’s laser-sight as they search through the room, which can be alternately terrifying and invigorating. The joy of Spy Party comes more from playing the opponent than playing the game. Perhaps your initial suspicions were off, and you should lowlight them… or should you? Worried that a certain partygoer is simply too fascinated with the statues on pedestals throughout the room? Highlight ’em.īut maybe that person keeps taking drinks from the nearby waiter, although they hinder the spy’s ability to do things. If you hear the keyword that signals the double agent (at this point it’s banana bread), you might want to highlight the people conversing with suspected double agents (marked onscreen with yellow triangles). As the sniper looks through the room’s windows into the party, he or she can highlight and lowlight certain people, making them appear brighter or darker, based on his or her suspicions. The partygoers will mingle, pick up books and statues (which are often part of mission objectives), or otherwise perform acts that could be misinterpreted as suspicious. Positioned outside the party, they have one shot.
The sniper doesn’t know who they are, so as they move through the party, they have to be careful not to make themselves stand out.
However, they have to be very subtle as they perform their tasks, as the opposing sniper is monitoring the party at all times. They can perform these tasks in any order they choose, provided that they finish them all within the time limit. The spy is given a list of tasks, ranging from placing a bug on an ambassador, to transferring microfiche from one bookshelf to another, to seducing another partygoer. One player is a spy, and the other is a sniper, and all of the action takes place in and around a party.
