You will use the Case Stamper to probe the science of tracking by stamping out a scenario on a case card according to a pre-determined story. Build Spynoculars so you can observe clues from afar and to take turns on short surveillance shifts to test your observation abilities. Build your own Secret Safe and challenging others to crack the code! Connect the dots using the Scene Solver to reconstruct the scene of a crime. Using your Whodunit Kit, you can practice the skills of recall and observation. From decoding messages to metal detectors and night vision, you will have the opportunity to check out spy equipment and even create your own edible message! You will use the Secret Code Breaker to communicate stealthily. With the Undercover Observer the viewer allows you to observe visually, while the spy ear enhances your hearing.
