))''About''
D.I.Y.SPY is a cooperative comedy storytelling game.
<b>Goal:</b>
You're all spies going on a retrieval mission together, telling stories about how you make spy gadgets out of actual objects from your pockets, house, office, or yard.
<b>Players:</b>
2-9+ players (Ideal = 6 players)
<b>Age:</b>
10-100
<b>Length:</b>
Online play time is about 40mins for the full online version (20-30mins for the card game). The shorter online version (just the Randomiser) is about 20mins.
This is an adapted version of the card game, designed here for playing over videochat platforms (such as Zoom). This is a guided play version with a script for the host/game master. Other players wait until prompted to go this site & skip straight to the randomiser.
More information on the <a href="https://www.diyspygame.com" target="_blank">game website</a>''What Are We Doing?''
(read out)
What we'll be doing.
We're all playing spies who are going on a mission
to retrieve an item together.
We'll be choosing to lead different mission stages,
and making quick decisions during the missions.
These decisons include going to
our actual rooms to gather objects.
And these objects will inspire our stories
of making spy gadgets with them.
Our player goal is to be ingenious with what you've got and what happens.

(read out)
First, let's make sure everyone has a way to play.
<b>SIGHT</b>: If you can't see the screen now or if you lose sight of the screen during play, no problem. Those who can see the screen can describe whatever is visual.
<b>SOUND</b>: We all need to hear each other. If anyone is working with sign-language, let's discuss how best to assist the interpreter(s).
<b>MOVEMENT</b>: This game involves gathering objects. If you can't go to another room or space to gather objects, no problem. You can work with whatever is in reach, and others can gather objects on your behalf if needed!
Let's see to that now...

This is a big mission. So we need to form, potentially uneven, groups to take care of 3 stages of the mission.
I can group you according to who is close to each other in proximity (on my screen).
[[Done->Everyone Can Play]]''Rooms''
(read out)
If you are able to go to actual rooms in your house or office to get objects during this game, choose 3 rooms now you can physically go to.
Think of rooms with objects.
Example: Bathroom, Kitchen, Living Room
(If you're in 1 room, you can assign areas instead
Example: Closet, Bed, Desk)
(If you're at work, you can assign work spaces
Example: Conference Room, Office, Photocopy Room)
(If you're outside or able to go outside, you can name areas
Example: Tree, Riverbank, Grass...)
[[Done->Roles]]''Spy Gathering''
(read out)
Spies, we've all gathered together for your pre-mission meetup.
One of you decide to address the vibe of the room with a small speech:
<i>(Copy & Paste into Chat or Private Message for another player to read out:)</i>
<div class="cnp">"We're all very different spies who have come together around the same cause: we want to learn how to do missions without the high-tech gadgets. Some of us have relied on these gadgets to get us out of sticky situations, and some have never had access to them.
Today, we're relying on each other and what is around us, and we're doing it on a retrieval mission."</div>
[[Done->Gathering Gift]]''Gathering Gift''
(read out)
We now all remember the gift object we brought for this occasion.
Everyone is to choose
1 NON-DIGITAL, DIFFERENT, OBJECT
within reach.
We will share and explain it next...

(read out)
Taking turns, share:
<i>(Read Out & Copy & Paste in Chat for reference:)</i>
<div class="cnp">
1. Your SPY NAME `(`example: Agent_____, or Undercover_____). (if: $player's grouped is "True")[Your SPY GROUP NAME.]
2. Whether you're EXPERIENCED or INEXPERIENCED as a spy.
3. WHY you chose not to take any of the high-tech gadgets on missions `(`examples: environmentally-friendly, H.Q. is going broke, you don't work with any agency, the challenge...).
4. And offer your OBJECT and tell us WHY you're gifting it to everyone. `(`Note: A shoe is a shoe, not a phone.)
5. RENAME your profile to your Spy/Group Name, and include the object you've gifted. `(`example: Agent Spark - Sea Shell).
</div>
[[Done->Mission Stages]]''Mission Stages''

As we do before every mission, we collectively decide
who will lead which mission stage.
There are 3 mission stages.
They will be the order of the stories,
so returning players may go first.
(If 2 players, ignore the Leave Mission.)
<i>(Read out, and copy & paste in chat for reference:)</i>

It is now time to journey to the venue.
If you feel like it, you can all take a break and stretch and drink for 5 or 10 minutes.
[[Done->Strategy]]''Strategy''
(read out)
We have arrived at the premises,
and now is quick strategy time for all missions.
At this point you will need to access
instructions in your Spy App.

<div class="cnp">Everyone go to https://www.diyspygame.com/remoteplay

[[4+ Players->Breakout]]''Breakout''
(read out)
We're at the premises now and you will all
be figuring out the best strategies and gadget alternatives.
I will be moving you into breakout rooms now
according to your Mission Stage groups.
I will be bringing you all back here for the step after you've followed the instructions in the App.
I'll give you about 5 minutes.
[[Done->Stage Function]] ''Object Gathering''
Now, because you don't have this gadget, you have to make it with what is around.
Your task is to now go to
a DIFFERENT ROOM or AREA (from your list),
and choose 3 NON-DIGITAL OBJECTS
to “make” the
(str: $player's "gadget")
and return.
GIFT OBJECTS: You can also draw on the spy gift objects instead of, or as well as, gathered objects.
You can set a 1, 2, or 3 MINUTE TIMER to gather objects.
(if: $player's grouped is "True")[* Each player gathers 1 object from their own room or area * Or 1 person can go to 1 room or area on behalf of the group. That person can take you with them if they have videochat on a portable device, and can turn off video if they wish.]
[[We All Have Our Objects->Missions]]''Mission''

We'll do the Enter Mission...first.
<i>Tell us how in the (str: $player's "stage") Mission you’re leading:

you made a

with the 3 OBJECTS you gathered.
What happens?
(And if on the Retrieve Mission, tell us about the
(if: $player's "stage" is (str: $stage's 2))[(str: $player's "item")]
Item you retrieve!)</i>
OBJECT NOTE: You can share objects between missions too. But any new condition carries over. Example: a notepad is now soaked.
NON-LEAD SPIES: While the spy/spies leading a mission think (or discuss together), the rest of the spies confer with each other & plan a Whoopsie to interrupt them with...
(if: $player's grouped is "True")[Go to your Breakout Rooms for those Leading the Mission, and those planning their Whoopsie Interruption, for 1-2 minutes.]
[[Whoopsies]]
Repeat for each mission stage.
[[(After missions)->Joint Mission]]
''Whoopsie''
(display: "Whoopsie Array")
Although you plan on standing back while your fellow spies lead the Mission, one or more of you will end up interrupting with a Whoopsie.
Choose a collection each, and more instructions next...

You need to face a joint mission together.

What do you do?"</div>
It is up to every spy and group to work with
