This is the signups for Spyfall 8, now I'm horrible at describing games so I'll ask somebody else to. Signups will close at 7/8/2015 05:00 GMT.
Spyfall is a party game unlike any other, one in which you get to be a spy and try to understand what's going on around you. It's really simple!
at the start of the game all players receive pms showing the same location — a casino, a traveling circus, a pirate ship, or even a space station — except forone player who receives a pm that says "Spy" instead of the location. Players then start asking each other questions — "Why are you dressed so strangely?" or "When was the last time we got a payday?" or anything else you can come up with — trying to guess who among them is the spy. The spy doesn't know where he is, so he has to listen carefully. When it's his time to answer, he'd better create a good story!
At any time during a round, one player may accuse another of being a spy. If all other players agree with the accusation, the round ends and the accused player has to reveal his identity. If the spy is uncovered, all other players win. However, the spy can himself end a round by announcing that he understands what the secret location is; if his guess is correct, only the spy wins.
I've attached a file with all the possible roles, and a link to the full rules is here (pdf download) boardgamegeek.com/file/download/ph89mrfa2h/Spyfall_rules_ENG.pdf
We can have up to 8 players, and if I get interested people I will type out a clear set of rules. Let me know below if this sounds fun.
Edit: I'll just explain the rules myself as best as I can, so it'll start off with me telling everybody except the spy where we are, if you are not a spy I'll also give you a character. I'll go with the example of a circus, so we have 5 players, 1 of whom is the spy and knows nothing, then maybe we also have a clown, a carny, a freak, and a kid. All characters must answer like their character would, that does not mean you have to do that word for word, just answer it with the same level of knowledge as your character. So to start off, the kid might ask the clown "what there is to do?" and the clown might answer "I can make you a balloon animal" the clown then asks the carny "when does my shift end?" and the carny responds "I don't know about you, but I end at 6" the carny then asks the spy "what is there to eat here?" if the spy were then to answer "a sirloin steak" it would be pretty obvious that he is the spy. So the carny starts a vote that the spy is indeed the spy and they all vote that he is the spy, if I remember correctly (Ater Nox) the votes need to be unanimous so whoever is being voted on cannot vote.

Anne, Juan, Maria, and Isaac find themselves in the
crusader army. However, Anne isn’t aware of this
because she got the spy card. Juan gets the Knight,
Maria the Squire, and Isaac the Archer. They all play
their parts and try to identify the spy. Anne’s goal is
to identify the location without blowing her cover.
Maria the Squire asks the first question: „Isaac,
do you remember which sea we took a dip in yesterday?“
Isaac the Archer naturally names the Mediterranean,
and Anne the spy takes notice: the location
could be the beach or the pirate ship. Isaac can’t ask
Maria, so he asks Juan, „Juan, when do we get paid —
is it at the beginning of the month, or the end?“ All
the other players are on the alert, since the question
might identify Isaac as the spy. However, Isaac is
just sounding out his fellow players. Since Juan is
a knight and not a spy, he answers the question
easily: „Who knows? We’ll get paid whenever the
commander feels like paying us.“ Anna the spy is
thoroughly confused — now she suspects the location
might be the military base or the submarine.
Juan asks her next question: „Hey Anne, what did
they serve for dinner yesterday? I couldn’t make it.“
Anne is evasive: „Oh, you know, the usual stuff — potatoes,
nothing special.“ This is where other players
start to suspect her of being the spy — as crusaders,
they’re well aware that Columbus won’t be bringing
that particular plant back from the New World for
another three hundred years or so...
