Socky Games

How to Play

One of the players is the host.

Before the game starts the group will determine an Item category (Commonly the category is locations but it can also be something else, such as Sports, Actors, Shows, etc.)

The host can either get items from a csv file or create an Item list

There is a minimum of 5 items to start the game

CSV method

The host will upload a csv containing a list of Items

Each row contains 1 item, the first column contains the item

Tip: You can use a spreadsheet program to create a question set and download it as a .csv file

Tip: Don't fill in any column apart from the first column, it can inflate the file size and that data will be ignored

Custom Items

Before the game starts the group will determine the Item category

The host will add each Item to the list (blank entries will be ignored)

Gameplay

All players will receive the same random item out of the item list except for the spies

After all players accept their role, the players discuss the item to discover who the spy is

When you suspect a player to be a spy you can vote for the player. If they later clear themselves you can remove the vote

When a player receives votes from majority of the players that player is eliminated

At any point a Spy can reveal their role and guess the Item, if they are correct the spies win. When this happens all players should press the "Spy Has Guessed the Item button" to end the game

If all spies are eliminated the non-spies win. The spies win if the spies either guess the item or eliminate enough non-spies to make up over 50% of the players.

Tips:

Choose a category all players are familiar with

Don't ask or answer questions in a way that give up too much information if you're not a spy

If you're a spy try to ask questions that narrow down the items without drawing suspicion
