Spies 5 is about to begin! The successful mafia game series is back for its fifth installment. More than 230 people over 12 games and 5 years have had an incredible time playing my Mafia and Survivor games. If you are looking for a unique, intense, and creative mafia or werewolves game by an experienced host – this is it!
So what is Spies? Spies takes the standard game of mafia to a whole new level with its own message board, an opening video, AIM conversations, elaborate story eliminations, intense gameplay, a unique and dedicated cast of people, and amazing twists. Every new game has 50%-66% players who have never played the game before to keep things fresh. The game is almost like an online mafia tv show. It even releases episodes after the game!
Spies is also known as Mafia or Werewolves. It is sort of like a mix of Survivor and The Mole and is a popular game played on college campuses and online. It is an online social game where the players are pitted against undercover Spies from within their own group. Each round, the Spies try and deceive the Citizens (non-spies) while the Citizens try and root out the traitors in their group. The game ends when one side is eliminated.

So many people have read this advertisement, decided to try out Spies for themselves, and had a wonderful and memorable time. Don’t take my word for it though, hear what they have to say:
"You haven't played mafia until you have played Spies. It’s like a whole new dimension that you can't get anywhere else. Sam has amazing ideas that lead to amazing games. If you are serious about mafia/werewolf, this is the game for you." – Elias
“THANK YOU SAM! Been long time watcher first time player I LOVED IT! Better than any mafia I ever played.” –Samson
“Always fond of the The Werewolf Game rendition of Mafia, I checked out this "Spies" thing that was advertised. Over the next couple days, I chatted with Sam about what Spies was all about, and figured I'd give it a shot. It's funny how kind of... empty the internet feels now that I don't have the Spies game to mess around on. Regular Mafia just doesn't have the depth and flair that this amazing game does. I can't wait until another Spies game.” - Will
“I had so much fun. You always continue to amaze me.” – Ryan
"Only a host as capable, imaginative and dedicated as Sam could pull this off without a hitch." – Jamie
“Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this. You gave me the best role EVER and you never once tried to tell me how to play the game and you were very supportive and helpful and nice to talk to. Spies is unquestionably the best game I've ever played. It's more fun than I ever imagined.
Sam took the basic mafia game and made it one of the most fun experiences on the internet. The players are intelligent and enthusiastic, the twists are so creative and the whole thing is run like clockwork. I could not have asked for more. I got everything I put into it and more. Thank you thank you thank you for all of the time and hard work you put into the game and I can't wait for the next one already.” -Rachel
“This game has been a blast. I really really really enjoy these Spy games, 10 times more than a typical thread-based mafia game. When I originally signed on for Spies three, and received notification that the game would begin shortly, I nearly dropped out because I thought it'd be lame. How wrong I was.” –Mike
“I wish everyone had the opportunity to experience one of your games because they are *by far* the best I've ever seen in my 5 years of playing." – Annette
“I want to say thank you to Sam. Sam, you hosted a real winner again. I loved your stories, the quotes at the end of the exiles, the board format, the twists, the leaderboard - just everything. You're so smart and innovative, and one hell of a host.” – DC
“Seriously Sam, I am in awe of that Imprisonment ( Choose Your Own Adventure). That was insanely good. I still maintain that you need to be paid massive amounts of money to do this.You do an awesome job and I honestly don't know how you keep up/put up with it all. Thanks for another great game.” – Stacy
"They are, without doubt, the best online games you could play. He is committed to a fault and professional beyond belief. This game has honestly been the most intense, mind blowing, crazy, twisted game ever. Sam has somehow did the impossible again, fully immersed me in this crazy online game world. Kudos again to Sam for being an amazing and dedicated host." – Tyler
“I loved playing, it was amazingly put together. The players were very into it, and that made the game.” - Matt
Spies 5 will feature:
- An opening video introducing each player and the story. A gorgeous leaderboard that is updated frequently. Cute short stories posted at every Imprisonment and unique game events. Activities and live chat vote counts happen every 4-5 days.
- A fast-paced, active game that lasts from 5-7 weeks. Each Night is usually 2 days and each Day is 2 or 3 days.
- A great game for viewers to enjoy! Many viewers have told me how much they enjoyed getting into Spies as it went along and following along with the updates. Viewers will be able to follow along with eliminations the day they happen. They can read the Imprisonment stories and the Exile chats. A leaderboard will be posted and updated with all the players and their current status. Viewers will be able to watch and talk about the game, who they think the Spies are, and who they think will be eliminated next.
- An alias game to spice up the game. (Why do people play with characters?) All players will be given a new AIM name and a proboards account to play Spies with. They will log on this new AIM name and use the proboards account to play. This means that no one has predetermined friendships, alliances, or knows how each other plays, nor can they reference other games for an advantage. All identities will be kept a secret leading to new relationships.
- Unique roles, captivating twists, and entertaining gameplay by an experienced host who knows how to create subtle but effective twists resulting in new experiences.
Drop by and take a look and see if you would like to play or view the game as it goes on. I’ve been working on this game heavily for the last one and a half months and I hope you’ll join us. Thanks for your time, and I hope to see you in Spies 5: The Shootout!
