About the game
What you do in a play session
If you thought the spy in the base Spyfall game was getting a little too comfortable, get ready! "The Box Is Not Enough" arrives to spice things up with six new locations that will push you out of your comfort zone. Imagine the tension of trying to uncover the infiltrator while everyone is at a buzzing nightclub, in the middle of an electrifying hockey game, strolling through the zoo, or even... at a board game festival! This expansion adds more variety and challenges to the already fantastic deduction and bluffing experience of Spyfall.
The game continues with the same brilliant premise: one player is the spy and doesn't know the location, while everyone else does and needs to ask strategic questions to identify the infiltrator before they figure out where they are. The question-and-answer mechanic is the heart of the game, requiring wit, observation, and a good dose of acting to mislead or accuse. With brand-new locations, the fun is guaranteed for those who already enjoy the base game and want more secret missions to unravel. It's perfect for livening up any gathering, ensuring laughter and moments of pure tension. Get ready for more espionage and fun!
