hands)
5) Wear your school uniform

words, some light grey words (that just make the
team lose their turn if chosen) and one dark grey
word (the ‘killer’).
5. Note: The colour of each word is only known by
the two spymasters.
6. The spymasters will try to group as many words
from their team as they can with one hint-word
and the number of words associated with the
hint. Example: the words ‘Germany’, ‘Malaysia’
and ‘China’ can be grouped with the word
‘country’ and the spymaster will let his/her team

guess the location.
7. The spy has to act like he/she knows the
location by answering a question wisely and
confidently so as to not expose him/herself.
8. The spy can choose to reveal him/herself at any
point in the game when he/she is sure of the
location. However, if the spy gets the location
wrong, he/she loses.
9. Likewise, the players with the location can
choose to call out the suspected spy at any point
in the game.
10. A vote will then be taken to decide if the suspect
is the spy.
11. If the suspected player is indicted, he/she has to
reveal if they are the spy or not. If he/she is the
spy, the players win. If he/she is not, the round
continues.
