The first part of their training was to learn how to decipher codes two ways: using a book passage and a cipher wheel (easy to make with a pattern I found online). We believe this traitor is in your area and time is running out! Agents: you must train hard, stay alert, work together, and find Red Falcon before he detonates his bombs.
He specializes in electronics and disguises. Red Falcon is a highly trained and dangerous man.
As you know the NSA is very important to our country’s security and any damage to it and our personnel there would be devastating! Your mission is to locate and apprehend Red Falcon and render his detonation device inoperable. We have reliable Intel that our once trustworthy agent, Red Falcon, has been turned by our enemies and he plans to bomb the National Security Agency. You have been summoned to the safe house to receive your next mission. We had pre-recorded my brother giving the following statement: Good afternoon gentlemen. While the agents were waiting for the briefing video, they went to the family room coffee table to learn facts about fingerprints and common spy terms. The card was slipped into a badge holder and clipped to their shirt. We took their thumbprint for the bottom of their badge and we added their photo to the top. Ahead of time I made cardstock badges with their names (as in: Agent Joshua) and the agency logo. We planned on putting footprints on the front walk but never go around to it.įOOD & CAKE: We had drinks, make your own trail mix (for energy while working on the case), cake (a 9x13 cake frosted white with a brown sprinkle moustache) and ice cream.ĪCTIVITY: When the kids arrived we asked Have you been followed? And directed them to the Agent Check-In room which was our office. We hung a large American flag in the dining room. The breakfast table had a black table cloth and we hung some black balloons. The adults wore black, we had several spy songs (Mission Impossible, Pink Panther) playing in the background. Encrypted phone or secure email only. Memorize then destroy this document!ĭECORATIONS: The decorations were simple. Our target is on the move and we must find him before he compromises our U.S. INVITATIONS: The invitations was in the form of an official memo, printed in reverse and mailed to each boy: Memorandum To: Agent ** From: CIA Headquarters Re: Red Falcon has gone dark Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to report to the safe house to be briefed on the latest developments in the Falcon Case. It was great fun and I thank the other folks who shared their ideas on this site. High-Tech Spy Party Our Spy-themed party for our 8-year-old son took planning ahead and the help of my husband and older children.
