A competitive game of subtle espionage at an exclusive cocktail party.
Play SpyParty Now!
Mac folks: Apple has finally managed to break SpyParty compatibility on newer m1/Apple Silicon macs, I've gotten it runnig but not fast enough to play. So, if you have an Intel x86 based mac, you still can get it running (Here is a HOWTO), but if you've got a modern mac with the newer chips, you should hold off buying until I have a native port. Sorry about this!
Sign up for the beta to start playing SpyParty immediately! You'll get all the updates, the Steam version of course, and the final version when it's done!
Please double-check your email address! A confirmation mail will be sent from noreply@spyparty.com.

Read the Fine Print
Let's keep this simple and in plain language, both for sanity's sake and because I can't afford to hire a lawyer: you are paying to access the SpyParty Early-Access Beta, and if and when I ship the complete game, you'll get a copy of that too, at least on PC, but maybe on other platforms if I can make that happen. You'll get any updates during the beta as well, of course. I can ban you from online play if you act like a jerk. And, since this is unfinished software, it might run perfectly, it might have minor bugs, it might not work at all on your computer, or it might cause a chain reaction that destroys our planet (please do report bugs in the beta forums!). This is an "as-is" situation, with no promises or warranties. If I get hit by a bus tomorrow or decide to become a florist next week, that's how it goes. However, I'm pretty careful when I cross the street, and the florist option is unlikely—while I do love flowers, it is incredibly personally important to me that I make SpyParty a deep and wonderful video game, and that you love playing it.

Thanks for signing up. It's hard to express in words how much your support means to me.

Press Quotes
"There has never been a videogame like SpyParty. ... SpyParty is as cerebral and personal experience as I've ever had with a multiplayer game. ... Despite being two years away from completion, the early version I saw still remains one of the most subtle, enjoyable, and surprisingly playful multiplayer games I've yet played."
"SpyParty is like nothing else I've ever played. ... When the laser focuses on you, the tension is intense. And the relief, when the beam swings away, is powerful."
"Part of what is so exciting about Spy Party is the stuff that happens around the game. Hecker has seen the game trigger strong emotional responses. I even felt it... guilt of all things. I've killed thousands — millions? — of enemy characters and even some friendly characters in video games with none of the pangs of consequence. I shot one innocent partygoer in Spy Party after tracking them for a few minutes, after being sure they were Chris Hecker's avatar and up to no good, and then, as they lay dead on the floor I realized I was wrong. I felt bad."
Mini-F.A.Q.
When's SpyParty going to be done?
I don't know, but not for a while. We have a lot of new art to create, and there are many more maps and missions to program, and tons of other cool features. We're just going to keep making it better, and if you'd like to come along for the ride, join the beta above! I'm going to put my todo list up here on the public site soon, so you can see the development roadmap.
Which platforms does the beta run on, and which will it ship on?
The beta is a Windows executable, but it runs great on MacOS using the free Wineskin wrapper. A lot of beta testers play on MacOS, in fact, and there's a easy-to-follow tutorial in the private beta forums on how to set it up. For ship, I hope it'll (eventually) be on everything: computers, consoles, tablets, whatever makes sense. It'll be on Steam and other distribution sites as well. I'm not sure if I'll put it on Steam Early-Access yet, but maybe.
Who is making SpyParty?
We're a tiny team! I'm Chris Hecker (checker, in-game), and I do the programming, design, biz, and the old crappy prototype art, and John Cimino (ciminator) is doing the new amazing final art. We also have Keith Millot (zerotka) helping out with community, blog, and video stuff. The community also plays a huge part in the development of SpyParty, with new map and mission ideas, tuning recommendations, and of course bugs. The Suggestions Thread in the private beta forums is 165 pages long at the time I'm writing this, and that doesn't include the missions and maps suggestion threads!
Wait, where are your laurels?
I thought all indie games had to have laurels on their web pages?

Hmm, you may be right. Okay, here you go:
