Spy Role Guide

Understanding the Spy Role

The Spy is a Town Investigative role that can bug a player’s house at night. The spy can see all actions performed on their target, including attacks, protections, roleblocks, silences, and more. Even hidden effects like Hex, Douse, Insanity, Enchant, Illusioned are visible to the Spy. It’s essential to remember that as a Spy, you won’t see what your target did – only what happened to them.

The Power of Information

As a Spy, your strength lies in the wealth of information you can gather. Keeping track of all the happenings can help you determine potential threats, confirm the claims of other players, and contribute valuable insights to the Town.

Choosing Your Target

Choosing whom to bug is a crucial decision. Consider targeting suspicious players, those who remain quiet, or those who are making claims that you want to verify. Remember that active players are likely to be targeted by both protective and harmful roles, providing more information.

Communication is Key

Keeping the Town informed about your findings is vital. You should aim to disclose useful information without revealing too much about your actions. Timing is crucial when sharing your information – revealing it too early may make you a target, while revealing it too late might cost the Town valuable time.

Protecting Yourself

As a Spy, you can become a target if you are revealing too much information. Balance your transparency with your safety. It might be wise to withhold your role until you have concrete information that can sway the game.

Spy’s Game Log Template

A useful tool for keeping track of your actions and findings each night as a Spy:

  • D1:
  • Observations:
  • N1:
  • Bug Target:
  • Findings:
  • D2:
  • Observations:
  • Bug Target (if changed):
  • N2:
  • Bug Target:
  • Results:
  • D3:
  • Observations:
  • Bug Target (if changed):
  • N3:

Repeat this pattern for each subsequent day and night. Updating your observations during the day provides useful context for your actions and findings. This could include information from other players, voting patterns, or anything else that seems noteworthy. An accurate and comprehensive log is critical for developing your strategy and providing evidence if needed.

Strategies for Masquerading as a Spy

If you’re playing a different role and need to pose as a Spy, consider these strategies:

Familiarize Yourself with the Spy Role

Understand the abilities and limitations of the Spy. Knowledge of the mechanics will enable you to mimic the role convincingly.

Fabricate Your Findings

You’ll need to generate plausible findings. Keep them vague to reduce the risk of contradiction.

Maintain Consistency

Ensure that your claims align with the actual game events. Consistency is crucial to avoid arousing suspicion.

React to Game Events

Adjust your claims based on the game’s events. For example, if a player dies from a specific action, you could claim you bugged someone
