    THE STORY
    Agent Willow needs the kids help on a Secret Agent Operation!
    We think a letter containing the secret location of their next villain meeting was sent the wrong address.
     
    Guess what? It has been delivered to you!
     
    Guided by Agent Willow’s voice messages, can the kids trick the villain's assistant, Miss Trout, to go to the wrong meeting location?
     
    WHAT HAPPENS
    In this play once secret agent experience, kids and a stealthy grown up work together using their wit and skills to trick a villain’s assistant all from the kitchen/dining room table! 
     
    The story based activities have been specifically designed for kids aged 6-10 to help improve confidence and empower them to lead the way. Rather than doing hard puzzles we focus on decoding, drawing, and things to boost imagination and creativity, collaboration and some other super stealth learning too!
     
    Guided by Agent Willow, kids will decode a picture code, draw and display a poster to enlist the help of an nearby Agent, ultimately tricking Miss Trout by sending her to the wrong meeting location. 
    And the best bit, it all feels like the kids are on a secret agent operation!
     
    The experience also doesn’t contain or encourage the use of violence or weapons

    • How it works

      Partnering with a fun adult (you!), we mix audio, paper materials, to create an interactive story full of activites for the kids.

      • Step 1. Buy and download files
      • Step 2. Set up the experience without the kids seeing (5- 7mins)
      • Step 3. Play! (40-60 mins)

    • What you need to play

      • Access to a printer (to print 2 sheets of paper for the experience) 

      • Good internet access via smartphone

      • A few pencils, colouring pencils, sticky tape and 3-4 sheets of paper. One envelope (optional)

      • Scissors (used by the grown up to set up to play)

      • Bag or box to put pens etc in (handy, but optional)

      • A table to play at

    • What you'll get

      After purchase you'll get a link to access:

      • Instructions 

      • A printable pdf invitation for the kids 

      • A printable pdf letter document 

      • Link to access short audio messages which tell the story in real time. These are accompanied by written instructions.

      The joy of the experience is likely to last for a while - many of our playtesters went on to use the materials from the game to play their own secret agent games.
