Your weekly briefing from the HQ of secrets

Truly secret games

Spies often use games as the inspiration to train agents - from Pokémon and role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons to Artificial Intelligence simulations. The CIA doesn’t stop there though. The Agency even makes its own spy games and quietly releases them to the public. Find out more about what’s available and how to download formerly ‘Classified’ CIA games.

Fiendishly spy-worthy crosswords

Many of SPYSCAPE’s spy-themed crosswords contain secret messages or codes exposed only when the grid is complete. If you like a challenge, you’ve come to the right place. Touché, Alan Turing. Touché.

The Imitation Game focuses on British codebreakers and cryptologist Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) but what about the four Americans who joined the Bletchley Park team on a top-secret mission?

DARING ESCAPES

 

 

Check mate

The Queen's Gambit is a nod to a 15th century chess move, an opening gambit that sacrifices the Queen’s pawn in a bid to control the board’s center. Netflix’s Beth Harmon - the orphaned chess genius played by actress Anya Taylor-Joy - isn’t a real person, however. So who is Harmon based on and what’s the story behind the series?
