What is this game?
Spy Cat is a word-deduction game for three or more people. Most players share a word; undercover players get a similar but different one, with their number based on group size. Take turns describing, then vote to find them.
How do we start?
- At least three people join the same room on their own devices.
- Look at your secret word and describe it in turn without saying the word itself.
- Vote after everyone has spoken. A tie for the most votes eliminates no one that round. If the game is not over, continue with another round of descriptions and votes. Final results reveal words, roles and votes.
