ASKED QUESTIONS
What
is this whole thing about?
"The
Spy" is based on the concept of "The Mole". For
detailed rules, you can check out the intro movie.
Basically, the show is a mystery themed competition where ten
players are competing for money and must deduce who amongst them who
is The Spy, a traitor out to cost them cash from their prize of up to $200.
I’m
too lazy to download the intro, what are the rules?
Fine,
if you want to be difficult. There are ten players competing in
challenges, puzzles and games to win money. Even though they must
work together as a group, in the end only one player will win that
money. One player is The Spy. Their job is to sabotage the efforts of
the others and try to cost them as much money as possible. The
players must deduce who amongst them is The Spy and learn as much
about them as possible. Each round the players take a Quiz which
tests their knowledge of who The Spy is. The scores are never
revealed, but each round the lowest score is ‘executed’ and
eliminated from the game. This continues until only one player is
left with The Spy, and it is that player who wins the prize money.
Be
honest... is it good?
Honestly
– If you like "The Mole", then you’ll enjoy
"The Spy". Straight up, we’re not kidding. We
don’t have a million dollar budget and a month-long shooting
schedule, but we like to think that we worked magic with what we did
have. There is just as much suspense, intrigue and mystery that can
be found in the ‘real’ show. You’ll be second guessing
who to suspect, who to root for and who will come out on top.
Twenty
bucks?! Is the DVD plated in gold?
It’s
not just one DVD. You’re buying a box set here. Four discs,
with seven episodes (each one ranging from 30 to 60 minutes). With
some extra features (including episode-by-episode analysis and recap
and a post-game Spy interview), you’ll have over six hours of
PURE Spy-licious entertainment.
"Spy
2"? Was there ever a "Spy 1"?
There
sure is. "The Spy" began as a campus-TV show at Towson
University in 2002. We are working on the DVD which will be for sale
later in the year. Trust us, you’ll be just fine starting off
with "Spy 2".
So
how about a "Spy 3"?
The
Spy 3 is currently in development now. We are trying to reinvent the
wheel somewhat with it, however, and the testing will take some time.
We want to try to get away from cloning ABC's Mole formula, while
keeping the spirit of sabotage. So far, we're liking what we're
seeing and can't wait to shoot it and bring it to the masses.
