Format

Spies, Lies & Allies features a main challenge, a nomination process, and an elimination round. This season had players competing in male-female teams of two, with each team initially consisting of an American competitor and an international competitor based on participants' respective home country. These teams changed throughout the season due to the format of the game.

  • Daily Challenge: Players compete in a main challenge in teams of two, where the winning team forms the "Agency" and are immune from elimination.
  • Nominations: Players, besides the Agency, participate in nominations and must vote for one team to participate in the elimination round. They are given 20 minutes to discuss the nominations before voting simultaneously and as individuals. The team that receive the most votes are "compromised" and will compete in the elimination round.
  • The Agency: At the Lair, players in the Agency must vote for one male and one female, regardless of whether or not they are a pair, to compete against the compromised team in the elimination round as a pair.
  • Eliminations ("The Lair"): The compromised team compete against the two individuals voted in by the Agency in an elimination round. The winning team remains in the game while the losing team is eliminated.

At the start of the episode 10, pairs were disbanded and contestants formed three teams of six based on the color they selected during the "Diamond Dash" challenge. The new format of the game is as follows.

  • Daily Challenge: : Players compete in a main challenge in teams (or "cells"), where all members of the winning team form the "Agency" and are immune from elimination.
  • Nominations: At nominations, players are given 20 minutes discuss nominations and plead their case to the Agency. The Agency must then individually vote for one player of the designated gender to compete in the elimination round. The player that receives the most votes is “compromised” and will compete in the elimination round.
  • Eliminations ("The Lair"): At the Lair, the compromised player is given the chance to call out any non-immune player as their opponent for the elimination round. The winner is remains in the game while the loser is eliminated.
Twists
  • Infiltration: Two slight variations of the infiltration twist occurred throughout the season. With the exception of episode 9, elimination round winners may select a new team or partner upon winning.
    • In episodes 1-8, the winners of the elimination round may choose to remain as a team, or they can "infiltrate" and select any non-immune player of the opposite gender in an existing team (regardless of their home country) as their new partner. In the event that players in an existing pair is chosen, their two former partners and the two former partners of the elimination winners also form two respective new teams.
    • From episode 10, the winner of the elimination round may choose to remain on their current team or infiltrate and join either of the remaining two teams.

Gameplay

Challenge games

  • Compromised: Each American contestant begins chained to a stack of cinder blocks. To determine the initial teams, each international contestant must race down a path to reach the American contestants, collecting a sledgehammer and key along the way. Once there, they must unlock an available American contestant they wish to partner with before using the sledgehammer to break through the cinder blocks and release a safe. Teams must then take the safe to a decoding station and open it to collect a gemstone before crossing the finish line. The first team to cross the finish line wins.
    • Winners: Aneesa & Logan
  • Heli Heist: Played two teams at a time. One team member begins in a speeding car while their partner begins in an overhead helicopter. The team member in the helicopter must throw bags of gems to their partner, who must catch them through the car’s sunroof. Once the car reaches the end of the runway, they must exit the car and cross the finish line. The team that catches the most bags the fastest wins.
    • Winners: Esther & Fessy
  • Sea Cave Recon: Played two teams at a time, teams dive off a 30-foot cliff to collect their first "bomb" capsule in the water below. They must then swim through a sea cave to collect a second bomb, proceed to a WaveRunner, and hold onto the attached bodyboard until they are pulled to a checkpoint. From the checkpoint, they must swim to shore and place the bombs on a podium. The team with the fastest time wins.
    • Winners: Ed & Tori
  • Undercover Comms: Played in two heats of seven teams, one team member begins suspended underneath a platform. They must pull themselves to three codes and describe them to their partner via walkie-talkie. Their partner must search through rubble for the matching codes and use the corresponding numbers to unlock a box containing a detonator, which they may use to eliminate another team from the challenge. The first team to collect three detonators, or the last team standing, wins their heat. However, the team to achieve this the fastest wins and becomes the Agency.
    • Winners: Esther & Fessy
  • Mindfield: Each team member must complete three cumulative obstacles to acquire puzzle pieces, and return to deposit their puzzle piece after each obstacle. At the first obstacle, players must crawl under a net to reach their first puzzle piece. At the second obstacle, players must scale a climbing wall to reach their second puzzle piece. At the third obstacle, players must pull a tyre past a marked line and solve the attached math problem to unlock a safe containing their third puzzle piece. After collecting all six puzzle pieces, the first team to solve the puzzle wins.
    • Winners: Berna & CT
  • Turning Agents: Played two teams at a time, teams begin strapped to the roof of a car. As the cars perform donuts, they must find their colored symbols printed on a nearby tank and use the corresponding numbers to unlock a lockbox before detonating a smoke bomb. The team with the fastest time wins.
    • Winners: Emanuel & Kaycee
  • Dive Bomb: Played in three heats, teams ride a Seabob sea scooter to collect two ropes with puzzle pieces attached. They must then grab a key tied to a nearby yacht and use it to open a chest with their remaining puzzle pieces. Once they collect all 16 puzzle pieces, teams must solve the puzzle and detonate their station. The team with the fastest time wins.
    • Winners: CT & Emy
  • Bombshell Battle: Played in three rounds, teams must retrieve four of their colored "bombs" from the center of a mud pit and return them to their station, alternating team members each time. Once they collect all four bombs, they must retrieve a silver bomb to advance to the next round while the number of silver bombs decrease each round. The team that retrieves the sole silver bomb in the final round wins.
    • Winners: Logan & Nany
  • Diamond Dash: For the first stage, players race to collect a sledgehammer before proceeding to the end of the trail. Upon arrival, they can select one of three assignments to complete: using binoculars to view their code on a sign, finding a box that fits into slots of a wall and scaling the wall to reach their code, or scratching paint off a board to reveal their code. Players must then enter the code to unlock a safe, collect a diamond, and place it in either the emerald, ruby or sapphire station – each of which holds six players. It was then revealed that this would be the teams (or "cells") that players would compete in. For the second stage, teams must use their sledgehammer to break cinder blocks and place the rubble in one end of a structure. Once they place enough rubble, the structure would balance out to release a diamond. The first team to cross the finish line with their diamond wins.
    • Winners: Emerald Team

Lair games

  • Back Me Up: Both teams begin strapped together by their backs in the center of a platform. The first team to drag or push their opponents down their respective ramp of the platform wins.
    • Played by: Corey L. & Michele vs. Michaela & Renan
  • Flipping Agents: One team member begins strapped to a cage. Their partner must flip the cage back and forth so they can collect 12 cubic puzzle pieces using a magnet attached to a rope. Once they collect all 12 puzzle pieces, teams must solve the puzzle to reveal a world map. The first team to solve the puzzle wins.
    • Played by: Ed & Emy vs. Kelz & Tracy
  • Slipping Up: Players must place each of their provided poles on pegs of a metal frame to form a ladder. They must then climb the ladder and ring the bell at the top. The first player to ring their bell wins.
    • Played by: Berna vs. Tacha
  • Down to the Wire: Each team begins handcuffed to a pole attached to an obstacle course. They must maneuver the pole through the course to collect a key before returning to the start and unlocking themselves. The first team to unlock themselves and pull the lever wins.
    • Played by: Amber & Hughie vs. Corey L. & Michele
  • Higher Assets: Players must climb a 20-foot rope to reach an answer key. They must memorise the answer key before returning down to replicate the key by placing tiles on a memory board. The first player to correctly replicate the answer key wins.
    • Played by: Gabo vs. Logan
  • Rage Cage: Players must run through a narrow hallway, past their opponent and climb up the end of the hall to ring a bell. The first player to ring their bell twice wins.
    • Played by: Emy vs. Esther
  • Race to Escape: Teams begin tied together by their wrists, facing back-to-back. They must release themselves by climbing up a 30-foot pole to reach a blade and cutting the ropes that bind them together. The first team to cut both of their ropes wins.
