While most spy games have you machine-gunning stuff, blowing things up, and driving fast, SpyParty has you hide in plain sight, blend into a high-society cocktail party, deceive your opponent, and detect subtle behavioural tells to achieve your objectives and not get shot. The player controlling the sniper, must observe all the guests through the lens of his gun and take a single shot when they are sure they have found the spy. One player is the Spy, trying to accomplish missions while blending into the crowd. It's about subtle behavior, perception, and deception, instead of guns, car chases, and explosions. The player controlling the spy must complete various tasks, like planting bugs, finding microfiche, and making contact with other guests without giving away who they are. SpyParty is a tense competitive spy game set at a high society party. The other player is a sniper who must spot the human-controlled spy by watching the way they are moving and interacting.
One player is a spy at a party among many computer-controlled guests, with a list of missions.
Spy Party (2018) is a one-versus-one game about observing behaviour.
