System and method for conducting a spy game on a social network

Abstract

The present disclosure relates generally to electronic systems, and more particularly, to systems, methods, and various other disclosures for conducting a spy game on a social network, allowing each player the opportunity to portray themselves as a spy. The objectives of the game is for (i) each player to play anonymously as all players are at least initially tasked with determining the truth or falsity of any new message post on a social network site; (ii) to increase his/her spy status and earn rewards (e.g. points or virtual currency); (iii) accumulate virtual wealth; and (iv) ultimately gain control of different players within different geographic regions around the world, a feat that is accomplished through gaining influence with each message post authored and/or responded to. Higher ranking spies are generally seeking to dethrone their competitors (other higher ranking spies) and/or reduce their competitor's wealth and influence.
