"Game is afoot" có afoot là tiến hành -> cụm từ này nghĩa là tình huống, sự việc đang hay sắp diễn ra.

Ví dụ
A new game is afoot as the ‘Saw’ franchise returns for more gore (máu me) and scares. The latest movie stars Chris Rock as Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks who starts investigating murders that are similar to those from the city’s past. He ends up being trapped in a criminal mastermind’s (kế hoạch) twisted game.

The game is afoot — and Kate Hudson is up for the task. The actress and businesswoman (nữ doanh nhân) revealed Thursday that she has boarded the first sequel to Knives Out, teaming up with a star-studded list of previously announced newcomers including Kathryn Hahn, Dave Bautista, Janelle Monáe, Leslie Odom Jr. and Edward Norton.

Nevertheless, the game is afoot and Sarah Booth and Tinkie, aided (hỗ trợ) more directly than ever by their pet dogs, sleuth (đánh hơi) around Zinnia, at a safe house for battered women, in the woods, at a hunting cabin, up in Oxford in the English Department, and, with some odd twists and turns, discover who killed whom, all the while with Tinkie about to pop, as it were.

Or cares who holds this normally anonymous (ẩn danh) GOP leadership position? What matters to reporters and pundits (học giả) is—to steal a dramatic line from Sherlock Holmes—the game is afoot.
