SpyParty is an Asymmetric Multiplayer 1v1 Social Deduction Game made by Chris Hecker (or "Checker"). One player plays as the Spy, the only human partygoer in a fancy cocktail party full of NPC's. The Spy has a limited amount of time to covertly accomplish a set of missions at the party. The other player is a Sniper with only one bullet, who is watching the party and must identify the player from the many NPC's around them.The idea of the game is to act like an NPC would; with common metagame strategies being to walk robotically and nonsensically, to fool the Sniper. Part of the gimmick is for the Sniper to try and work out the player who is pretending to be an NPC in a room filled with them.The game has been in development since 2009, with a long time in open beta, which has now been graduated to Steam Early Access on the 12th of April 2018. | |

Cast of Snowflakes: The "new art" characters are wildly varied among many different axes, including age, ability, ethnicity, and religion. According to Word of God, the only axis the game does not explore is economic class, as all the characters must be a part of high society to fit the theme of the game. | |

Hidden in Plain Sight: The Spy must complete all their missions under the ever-watchful eye of the Sniper, hidden only by the fact that they are among five to twenty other possible suspects and the Spy's actions are very similar to AI actions unless observed very carefully. | |

Crosshair Aware: The spy sees the sniper's laser sight, giving them an idea of the general area where they might be looking. (In reality, snipers don't use visible lasers specifically to avert this trope.) | |

Blending-In Stealth Gameplay | |
| SpyParty (Video Game) / int_458432e | comment |
Blending-In Stealth Gameplay: One player is a spy at an upper-class party, who must carry out different tasks (planting bugs, stealing documents, talking to other agents, etc.) while the other is a sniper who must identify the spy and kill him. The twist is that all the other NPCs milling around make it hard to identify which one is the spy, and perform movements that look almost exactly like the spy's, so the sniper has to be very certain he doesn't pull a Murder by Mistake. It's even possible to let the AI take over the spy's movements, so the latter Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing when the sniper shoots the wrong person. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Because of how the game's mechanics work, a sniper might put a bullet through someone's head for actions that would be completely innocuous in real life, like taking a long time to read a book, mentioning a particular food item, coughing, or even standing around doing nothing. | |

Identical Twin ID Tag: Two of the new art characters, Dr. M and Dr. N, are twins who's only visible difference is that N wears jewelry (earrings, a tie clip and a ring) while M doesn't. Though even with those, it's seen as better if one is high/lowlighted to avoid having to look for details whenever one of them does something, even if there's no reason to mark one of them. | |

Guide Dang It!: Originally, the game came with a manual that was required reading to play the game, as the game is relatively complex.

Ambiguous Time Period | |
| SpyParty (Video Game) / int_7eb2bc15 | comment |
Ambiguous Time Period: The game deliberately blends together a wide range of fashion and architectural styles from the early 20th century to the present day, with the goal of paying homage to all eras of Spy Fiction while also giving each character a unique look. The technology used is also kept quite ambiguous: The Sniper's gun is fitted with a laser sight (the first example of which came about in 1979) and Mr. I uses a modern motorized wheelchair, but you'll rarely see anything high-tech in the environments the game takes place in, and the Spy's objectives include old-timey stuff like carrying microfilm rather than something like hacking computers. The way each character checks the time also ranges through the decades, from pulling out a pocket watch to checking a smartphone. | |

Obstructive Foreground: Many maps feature certain obstructions that prevent the Sniper from getting a clear view of the whole map at once. "Aquarium" features a shark that periodically swims in front of the Sniper, which the Spy can exploit to hide their actions; simultaneously a Spy that hides behind the shark a bit too often is only drawing extra suspicion to themselves. | |

Acceptable Breaks from Reality: The sniper's laser can be seen by the spy when it's close, yet nobody else at the party notices this. This is to make sure the spy has the best chance of blending in, and knows where the sniper is at all times. (The popular fan explanation is that the spy is wearing fancy contacts that lets them see outside the visible spectrum.) | |

Timed Mission | |
| SpyParty (Video Game) / int_bb48f8ba | comment |
Timed Mission: The Spy has a limited amount of time to complete the required number of missions. If time runs out, the Sniper automatically wins. However, if the Spy completes their missions, the Sniper gets ten seconds to identify and shoot the Spy. If the Sniper does not shoot the Spy in that time, then the Spy wins. Not only that, but the Sniper gets no indication that this ten-second timer has begun. | |

Meta Game: High-level SpyParty play has a great deal of metagaming, where each player knows the other's player's tendencies in each role and tries to take advantage of those tendencies. Of course, each player knows that the other player knows their tendencies and tries to subvert the other's player's expectations. | |

Double Agent | |
| SpyParty (Video Game) / int_c2ab0eaf | comment |
Double Agent: One of the AI characters is the double agent, and additional characters may be marked as suspected double angents to the Sniper. One of the possible missions for the Spy is to utter the code phrase "Banana Bread" while in a conversation with the double agent. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| SpyParty (Video Game) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: This can be an effective tactic; many Snipers spend so much time looking for tiny details that they don't notice the Spy transferring microfilm or bugging the ambassador while looking directly at the Sniper. The Spy can give themselves more time to complete missions by walking up to a window (facing the Sniper head-on) and checking their watch. This is often interpreted as taunting the Sniper. The Gallery map has a rather narrow and deep layout, with most of the action happening in the back part of the room. This causes many snipers to zoom in to see the activity there better. Some spies take advantage of this tendency by doing blatantly obvious actions on the sidewalk right in front of the sniper. | |

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing | |
| SpyParty (Video Game) / int_d9f97805 | comment |
Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing: One common strategy is for the Spy to lay low for a while by remaining idle in a conversation or remaining in a part of the map where they cannot complete missions, hoping to shed suspicion. This was used to great effect in the Omegathon Finals at Pax Prime 2013, where the Spy did not even take control of his character for the entire round. | |

We Need a Distraction | |
| SpyParty (Video Game) / int_e43b42ea | comment |
We Need a Distraction: The Spy can use one mission to cover up another, like uttering the code phrase "Banana Bread" just before purloining the guest list. | |

Laser Sight: The Sniper emits a visible laser in the center of their view, allowing the Spy to know what parts of the map the Sniper may be focusing on. | |
