🌍 Countries list in BETRAYAL (30 countries)
The countries category takes you around the world: Arab, European, Asian, African and American countries. Civilians know the secret country, and the spy tries to work it out from talk about food, weather, sport and travel.
How to use this list
The best questions here are about distance, weather, food, language and the gifts you would bring back. Avoid naming the capital or famous landmarks directly.
For every word you will find a short description, the "words that give it away" shown on civilians' cards so they avoid them, and good question ideas. The list helps the spy too: the better you know the options, the easier your final guess, or today's secret, becomes.
You can delete any word that does not suit your group, or add your own from the «📚 Lists» screen in the game. For more questions, see 100 question ideas.
Questions that work for every word in this category
These are the questions suggested by the «💡 Random question» button during the day. They are general enough to fit any word in the list:
- 🍽️ What food would you try first there?
- 🌡️ What's the weather like there?
- ✈️ How many hours is the flight from here?
- 🗣️ Do you understand their language?
- 🛍️ What gift would you bring back from there?
- ⚽ Do they love football there?
- 🏙️ Cities or villages: which do you prefer there?
- 💰 Is life expensive there?
A tip for the spy
If you are the spy with countries, listen to talk about weather and distance first: "the flight is long" or "it is hot all year" narrows things down fast. Avoid naming a specific dish or language, and answer with phrases that fit several countries, like "people there are very welcoming" or "I would love to go there on holiday".
