SpyParty is a spy game about human behavior, performance, perception, and deception. While most espionage games have you spend your time shooting stuff, blowing stuff up, and driving fast, SpyParty has you hide in plain sight, deceive your opponent, and detect subtle behavioral tells to achieve your objectives.
Unlike the suave and confident spies you might find in films or books, most spies in spy games are more like super powered commandos--more Rambo than James Bond. By contrast, SpyParty is a new and quite different game about the more interesting and deeper aspects of being a spy.

In 2013, canadianbacon ran a Tag Team Tournament where players played exclusively Spy or Sniper as part of a team (except for a few teams where one player played both roles, including the eventual champion, slappydavis). In advance of the game going on Steam Early Access, he’s running another such tournament. Special emphasis this time is on picking a fun team name and designing a logo, because the tournament champions will receive jackets with their logo on them.
As of this writing, about eight teams (and a handful of singles players who haven’t yet chosen a partner) have formed, or half of the maximum slots available. Signups end in just a few days: at 11:59 PM PDT on Sunday, October 8th. Once the signup period is over, we’ll post a breakdown of all the teams, with their accompanying logos.
If you’re in the beta and interested in joining, check out the signup thread in the game’s beta forums.
A few random facts and possibilities picked up around the booth at PAX West 2017:
I know what you’re probably asking: what is Bridge Cast? Is it an actual podcast about bridges? Is it an inside joke taken way, way too far? What do bridges have to do with SpyParty? The answer to all of these questions is “yes.”
Without further ado:
In the middle of a fun little Twitter thread about Bloom’s SpyParty sampling track, longtime player james1221 posted this throwback image to a 2011 article about SpyParty:
