Explore the World of Spies
Spyscape HQ has seven main areas, called gallery zones, where you can explore different parts of the spy world:
- Encryption: Learn how codebreakers cracked secret messages, like the famous Enigma machine from World War II.
- Deception: Discover how spies use tricks and how the FBI caught a famous spy named Robert Hanssen.
- Surveillance: Step into a special room to see how people are watched and learn about Edward Snowden.
- Hacking: Explore the world of computer hacking and groups like Anonymous.
- Cyberwarfare: Find out about digital battles and computer viruses like Stuxnet.
- Special Ops: See amazing spy gadgets from World War II and learn about brave spies like Virginia Hall.
- Intelligence: Understand how spy information helped during big historical events, like the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Test Your Spy Skills
As you go through the galleries, you can test your own skills with different challenges. These challenges check things like how well you understand others, how quick you are, your personality, your brain power, and how much risk you're willing to take.
The last gallery is called Debrief. Here, you get the results of your tests and challenges. Based on your skills, you'll even be assigned a special spy role!
Exciting Spy Experiences
Spyscape often creates new and exciting experiences for its visitors.
SPYGAMES
In 2024, Spyscape launched SPYGAMES. This is a brand-new experience designed to get your mind and body working! You get to play active games that were created with help from real experts from the CIA and Special Operations.
Past Adventures
Before SPYGAMES, there was an experience called Batman x Spyscape. This was an interactive adventure where you could test your detective skills. It combined cool physical spaces with a special app for your smartphone.
Another popular exhibit was Driven: 007 x Spyscape. This was the first official James Bond exhibit in New York City. It was open from 2019 to 2022. The main attraction was the actual Aston Martin DB5 car that Pierce Brosnan drove in the James Bond movie GoldenEye. When the museum had to close temporarily during the COVID-19 pandemic, Spyscape even made the 007 x Spyscape exhibit available for free online!
Spyscape Podcast Network
In April 2020, Spyscape started its own podcast network. Their first show, True Spies, gives a unique look into the world of secrets. It features interviews with real professional spies. The first series was narrated by Hayley Atwell and Vanessa Kirby. In November 2022, actress Sophia Di Martino, known from the show Loki, took over as the host for new episodes of True Spies.
