- Seven Spies offers a fresh spin on the social deduction genre
- Defuse explosive devices or ensure your sinister plot succeeds
- Utilize high-tech spy gadgets straight out of a 007 film to complete your objectives
Classics like Werewolf and Mafia have such timeless appeal in the social deduction genre that they rarely need adjustments when adapted for mobile. However, with Seven Spies, developer Michael Conkin leverages the full potential of digital platforms to deliver an entirely new espionage-themed experience.
The premise is straightforward: you and three to six friends become secret agents. Your objective is to search an embassy and interrogate various suspects to locate bombs planted by the criminal syndicate Cipher—preferably before they detonate.
Naturally, there's a twist: some of your teammates are actually double agents working for Cipher. But that's not all! You'll also have access to an array of extraordinary spy gadgets to aid your mission, including explosive pens, night-vision goggles, and other gear reminiscent of Q-Branch.
Of course, the rules involve more complexity. After a brief planning phase where you choose your actions, all players execute them simultaneously. Agents have only a limited number of turns to identify the bombs’ locations, while Cipher operatives must hinder progress or eliminate them entirely.
Still, the inclusion of spy gadgets is arguably the most captivating feature. While it may not rival GoldenEye, it introduces thematic elements often absent from other social deduction games, even digital ones.
