Spy Game — مين الغشيم
Unmask the hidden spy. A social-deduction party game for 3–20 friends.
Ghashim (مين الغشيم) is a free social-deduction party game for 3–20 players: everyone gets the same secret word except one hidden spy. Play offline on one phone or online in rooms, in Arabic or English.
What is Ghashim?
Ghashim (مين الغشيم) is a social-deduction party game where everyone gets the same secret word except one hidden spy. Players take turns dropping subtle hints about the word while the spy bluffs to blend in. Play offline pass-and-play on one phone, or in online rooms — 3 to 20 players, themed packs, in Arabic and English.
How to play
- Gather 3–20 players and start a round on one phone (pass-and-play) or an online room.
- Everyone secretly sees the same word — except one randomly chosen spy, who sees nothing.
- Take turns giving a one-word or short hint about the secret word without being too obvious.
- Discuss and vote on who you think the hidden spy is.
- The spy wins by surviving the vote or guessing the word; everyone else wins by catching the spy.

FAQ
How do you play Ghashim?
Every player sees the same secret word except one hidden spy. Players give short hints in turns, then vote on who the spy is. The spy wins by avoiding the vote or guessing the word.
Can you play مين الغشيم offline?
Yes. Offline pass-and-play runs the whole game on a single phone — no internet needed. Online rooms are available when you want to play on separate devices.
How many players do you need?
Ghashim works with 3 to 20 players, making it suited to small groups and large parties alike.
Is Ghashim free?
Yes, Ghashim is free to play on iOS and the web today, with Android on the way.
What is a social deduction game?
A social-deduction game gives everyone the same information except a hidden role or two, then has players discuss and vote based on behavior. The hidden player wins by blending in; everyone else wins by unmasking them.
Is Ghashim like Spyfall?
Yes — Ghashim uses the same hidden-spy format as Spyfall: everyone shares a secret word except one spy who has to bluff. Ghashim adds free offline pass-and-play on a single phone, 9 word packs, and full Arabic and English support.
Can you play Ghashim online with friends far away?
Yes. Online rooms let 3–20 players join from separate devices in different locations, so you can play together even when you're not in the same room.
What ages is Ghashim for?
Ghashim doesn't carry an official age rating — it's designed to be broadly suitable, easy for teens and adults to pick up together, and a solid family game night pick. The word packs (Animals, Foods, Places, Professions, Movies, Egyptian Movies, TV Series, Egyptian Series, Things) are everyday and family-friendly, so the only real requirement is being able to read the secret word and follow a group discussion.
How long is one round of Ghashim?
A round is quick with a small group — a few hints, a short discussion, and a vote. At a bigger table it naturally runs longer as more hints, more discussion, and more votes play out. Either way, it's short enough to fit several rounds into one sitting.
How is the spy chosen?
At the start of each round, Ghashim randomly and secretly assigns one player as the spy while everyone else gets the same word — so no one but the spy knows who was picked.
