Spy and Chariot Race

When you play Spy, do all players reveal the top card of their deck at the same time, or do they reveal it one at a time?  The official FAQ for Spy does not specify whether its referring to the revealing, or just the discard/keep portion being done in turn order.  This matters for Chariot Race, because if I can see my top card and the top card of the player to my left, I'll make a different decision than if I can only see my card, then the next player's card after I finish dealing with mine.

Currently, Dominion Online reveals cards in turn order, but I'm assuming in most IRL games, players just all flip over their top card.

I don't remember the answer for sure, but I know this has been asked and discussed before, because it's not only for Chariot Race that it matters; even without any particular combo in place; knowing your opponents' next card could help inform your decision about each card.

I'm pretty sure that the answer is "one at a time, reveal a card then decide what to do with it"; but I'm not positive.

When necessary, resolve one player at a time for Spy. Yes in practice it's not necessary, and faster to just all reveal your cards when you can, and for that matter for the Spy player to make the easiest decisions first.
