Be the first team to guess all your words. Each team has 9 words to find. The assassin word means instant loss if guessed.

Split into two teams — Red and Blue. Each team needs one spymaster and at least one guesser to start.

Give one-word clues followed by a number. The number tells your team how many words the clue relates to. No using the word or variations of it!

Based on the clue, guess words from the board. One at a time. Keep guessing until you get one wrong or reach the number.

Teams take turns. After giving a clue, the guesser for that team guesses. Then the turn passes to the other team.

Guess all your team's 9 words to win. If a guesser guesses the assassin word — the opposing team wins instantly!
