SPYSCAPE is a brain-teasing experience with challenges in risk tolerance, empathy, observation, pattern recognition and decision-making. Developed with top spy trainers and psychologists to assign your individual Q Type.
SPYGAMES is a pulse-racing experience that tests collaboration, agility, and communication across high-adrenaline, field-inspired missions. Developed with experts from CIA and Special Ops to boost teamwork.
Whether you're unlocking personal insight or building team cohesion, both experiences reveal your hidden potential.
Q Types are archetypal profiles, combining observed behavior from immersive, live challenges with self-reported insights collected through our Mind Games interactives. The result is a 58-page personal dossier that maps your skills, attributes and potential.

The system is based on ten core archetypes used by human intelligence agencies, ensuring that your profile reflects real-world skills and tendencies.
