Overview:
Our Incognito Spy Mission is a fantastic and unique team event, perfect for those wanting a fun or rewarding team building activity. Watch as you and your guests are plunged in to the murky underworld of secret agents on a mission to find out which of our colleagues is in fact an enemy spy!
Following a trail of intelligence around your chosen town or city, you and your team will crack into emails, meet with undercover agents and uncover cryptic messages all in the hunt to find out who is the traitor in the midst.
A fast-paced and popular event, your day ends in a race against the clock back to spy head-quarters to reveal the identity of the defector and claim your team’s victory!


Format:
Games start by teams being given a spy-themed briefing from their very own “Mi5” agent, as well as a brief outline of the scenario, objectives and relevant advice and clues. Teams are then required to take part in the hunt based around the surrounding area on-foot, in taxis or in minibuses. Throughout the afternoon it’s a race to meet all the contacts, decipher the codes and save the day!

During the event guests will be working in teams of up to 8 on various team challenges and tasks. The event is totally flexible on location, format and content - we can make it as teambuilding orientated or relaxed as you wish. We give you everything you need: the clues, training notes, Polaroid camera, torch and compass, but after that you're on your own and the clock is ticking! Activities will include:

The Mission:
Your group have been gathered by the head of a special team of agents who need your help to discover the identity of a traitor in their ranks. After a short briefing, given once and only once, your teams are left alone with only a dictaphone for guidance and a list of suspects to eliminate...

Where to start...?
Your team need information from various points around their chosen location and their only assistance is that of some cryptic clues left on their dictaphone. Following a trail from their deduction of this, they will be able to cross out the candidates one by one.

Suspect Elimination
The clues to eliminating our suspects lie within encrypted email accounts, scrambled phone numbers that need calling, traces of UV ink and even pages of well known books. It’s down to you and your team to deduce their location and meaning in order to crack the case!

Spy Headquarters
Once solved, your team need to race back to our spy headquarters to declare which suspect is the defector. First group back will reap the glory.
