D.C. Spy Museum Offers New Outdoor Experience for Student Tours

Spy in the City™ is a new GPS-based interactive experience ideal for small student tour groups at the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC. Students embark on a series of self-guided outdoor missions using espionage tradecraft and intelligence collection activities. Equipped with a Geo-COBRA, a handheld GPS device, student groups follow video clues from headquarters, solving Flash-based games to earn points as they work their way towards mission completion. At pre-determined locations the device will automatically download clues, information and possibly misinformation delivered by a wide range of media, including messages from filmed characters—from agents to sources to moles—and documents, codes, audio intercepts and photos for analysis.

There is one mission available now, with two more to come in August. For more information on this and other events offered at the International Spy Museum, click here.
