Pros
Pro Can be mixed with Spyfall 1
It will add more locations and make the game harder for experienced spies.
Pro Allows for really big parties (12 players max)
Pro An interesting twist on a Mafia-style game
The spy doesn't try to kill everyone, but to find out where he or she is and to blend with others. This unleashes the player's creativity in asking and answering in that way that only villains will understand it
Pro Blaming other players for failure leads to hilarious storylines
Perhaps the mission failed because that one minion got too drunk on dwarven ale, or maybe it was that the other minion fell under the sway of a mysterious siren, no, it was definitely because all the other minions are working for the other dark overlord! Whatever the case, the shifting blame and pointing fingers leads to a frantic and fun game full of laughs.
Cons
Con Heavily dependant on the team's playfullness
Not talkative or extremely serious people will definitely make the game an ordinary mafia challenge.
Con Highly trivial if played in 3 or 4
It is very easy to reveal the spy in small teams.
Con The heavy dependence on storytelling isn't for all players
Players need to be willing and able to make up stories on the spot and roll with the game as it evolves over the course of play, which isn't for everyone and as a result this game can fall flat for some players.
