Work: locations and roles
About the theme
Call centers, factories, start-ups, mines and bakeries. Questions about shifts, bosses, salaries and uniforms help agents recognise each other, while the spy tries to sound tired in a believable way.
This theme has 14 locations. In each case all agents get the same one of them, plus a cover role if the host turns roles on, while the spy only sees the theme name, Work. Below is every location with the six roles the game can deal.
