Mastering Spyfall Locations: Knowledge is Power
Don't Get Lost in the Game
In Spyfall, the location list is your map. If you don't know the possible destinations, you're flying blind. Whether you're the Spy trying to guess where you are, or a Civilian trying to trap the Spy, mastering the location list is the single biggest advantage you can have.
📈 Location Mastery:
- Categorization: Grouping locations to make them easier to remember.
- The Spy's Map: Using the list to eliminate options.
- The Civilian's Trap: Using unique location features to catch the Spy.

🕵️ Chapter 2: Strategy for Spies
As the Spy, the location list is your lifeline. You should be glancing at it (discreetly!) constantly.
Process of Elimination
Listen to every answer and mentally cross off categories.
- "It's cold here." -> Cross off Beach, Desert.
- "We are moving." -> Cross off Buildings. Keep Transportation.
- "We need tickets." -> Keep Theater, Circus, Train, Plane.
The "Safe Guess"
If you narrow it down to 2-3 locations, wait for one more clue. If you narrow it down to 1, reveal and guess immediately. Don't wait to be caught.
👮 Chapter 3: Strategy for Civilians
Use the location list to set traps.
The "Unique Feature" Trap
Find a feature that exists in only one location on the list.
- Scenario: You are at the Space Station.
- Trap Question: "How's the gravity treating you?"
- Why it works: Only one location lacks gravity. If the Spy answers "It's heavy" or "Normal," you got them.
Warning: Be careful! If the Spy hears "gravity," they might guess Space Station immediately. You have to be subtle. Try: "Do you feel lighter today?"
