SPYSCAPE & SPYGAMES

“It was my first time going here, the moment you walk into the building there is a reception area with friendly staff that greet you and sign you in. I had booked a session online a few weeks prior, so you just give your name and they will find your booking. There are stairs and lifts, to get up and down the levels, lockers are located upstairs and the games section is on the lower floor. You’re then given wrist bands and the game rooms are explained. There are monitors where you can check your game progress and you can obtain different items as you go to edit your character. There is a section where you can keep your belongings in a locker and then you can head to the gaming section. Upon going to that section, there is another member of staff that greets you and asks if you if you’ve ever been before or if you want help. They were very friendly and approachable, they explained the layout and said that each room has two different games - you can select the one you want to do and then go in when it’s ready. We tried all the rooms and some of them we even re-did again as we wanted to try more, it was a lot of fun and very active. They have a water cooler there also for you to get additional water and seats in the middle if you need to wait for the room to be available. It was a lot of fun, and would definitely recommend this as a group activity. Would definitely try to go again in a larger group to get more points. Friendly staff and fun games.”

“I took a group of 5 boys aged 13/14 to both experiences for a birthday. Having been to quite a few interactive experiences I know the quality varies a lot. Both Spyscape and Spygames were excellent and worth the entry price, which is steep. We did Spyscape first. The boys rushed past the learning/museum elements straight to the tasks, but I took a good look and found it really interesting. The stories of real life spies was well told and there is power in the exhibits which bring the Cold War, WW2 and digital surveillance to life. The assessments were excellent and the extra £8 for the printed analysis based on your personal scores were very good quality. In our group we had 3 handling agents, 1 surveillance officer, 1 spycatcher and 1 spymaster. You get detailed analysis about what your scores reveal about your personality and it feels like they are based on a strong psychology/behaviour model. Then we went to Spygames which is loud and lit like a nightclub but with about 10 rooms for timed games. They were great. The kids loved it and tried hard to get onto the leader board with great encouragement from the staff team, including Richard, who caught their mood very well. Thank you to all the workers there and the designers behind the museum. Fab.”

“Incredible experience. We visited the NY location back in 2019 and loved it so when this one opened we had to come. The spyscape experience is great, interactive and informative - very enjoyable. The spygames were insanely fun! Very high energy and requires a lot of movement, but very fun.”

“Absolutely loved the place. We had a group of 10 teenagers playing both spyscapes and Spygames and they had a ball. Very colourful fun and interactive…Great place for family/couples/kids to spend an hour before a nice meal in Covent Garden”
