About Red Scare
The threat of Communist infiltration is at an all-time high, and red panic is everywhere. It's on you, trusted patriots of the FBI, to scour the files of any and all that may be promoting the Soviet agenda and threatening these sacred shores. The nation trusts you to detect, then publicly accuse and deport these traitors. But watch out because double agents are everywhere! Even your closest colleagues are not to be trusted. Perhaps even you have something to hide… Red Scare is a hidden role/social deduction game with a delightful wrinkle; the only way to discover the truth about your friends is with a pair of secret decoder glasses! The game features no player elimination, so everyone is in on it until the end.
