Yes, you can reserve your own laser tunnel at the Special Ops Challenge for $100! Your group will have their own tunnel to do the laser tunnel challenge without having to wait in line.
The difference between the Birthday Party Package and the Basic Birthday Experience is that the Birthday Party package lasts 2 ½ hours and includes one hour of event space for food and beverage, as well as a SPYSCAPE host to guide you through the SPY HQ Interactive Experience & Museum. The Basic Birthday Experience affords your group SPY HQ tickets, a special gift for the Birthday VIP, and party favors for all guests.
The Birthday Party Package lasts for 2 ½ hours on average. The Basic Birthday Experience takes an average of 90 - 120 minutes to complete.
The Birthday VIP will receive a SPYSCAPE-branded t-shirt & hat, a puzzle, spy glasses and a spy role wrist band. Birthday guests (children) will receive spy glasses and spy role wristbands. Party favors are subject to change and are based on availability.
We will create a digital sign celebrating the Birthday VIP on our HD LCD screen. You are welcome to bring additional decorations. We are happy to store decorations for you in advance, and your adult chaperone is welcome to set up your party area before-hand, so long as no other group is utilizing the event space.
No, table cloths are not necessary. However, for decorative purposes, you are welcome to bring table cloths if you wish.
We have 6 tables that can accommodate a total of 25 guests comfortably. Table dimensions are 47 ¼” x 31 ½” .
Yes, we can accommodate parties larger than 25 people. To inquire about availability for a party larger than 25 guests, Submit an Inquiry Below.
If your adult chaperone will not be participating in the SPY HQ Experience, a ticket will not be required. However, if they do decide to participate, they will be required to purchase a ticket onsite.
The SPY HQ Experience is recommended for kids 8 years and older. Younger children can enjoy the experience as well, but they might prefer to skip some of the games and / or challenges more suitable for older guests. SPYSCAPE Birthday parties are ideal for kids 8 to 12 years old.
At this time, we do not. We do have stunning private event spaces available for rent, however. To inquire, reach out to our events department here with your desired date, headcount and event goals.
SPYSCAPE is New York City’s #1-rated experience, and the most innovative and distinctive event venue in Manhattan. Visitors’ skills and personality attributes are tested via interactive experiences, as they journey through our experiential museum showcasing secret intelligence, cybersecurity and investigative law enforcement exhibits. Each visitor receives a richly-detailed profile designed by a former MI6 Head of Training. Coming soon will be our newest interactive experience, SPYGAMES, which will offer fun immersive challenges developed with experts from CIA and Special Ops to stretch visitors’ physical and mental agility.
No, but it is highly recommended that guests have an email address. This is so that they can build out their SPYSCAPE profile as they journey through the experience, and so we can send them their profile afterward (as well as their Special Ops Challenge video of them inside the laser tunnel)! Each guest will receive their Spy role before they leave SPYSCAPE, whether they provide an email address or not. We understand that parents may not always wish to provide children’s email addresses. If party guests do not provide an email address, their profiles can be sent to the original purchaser’s email address.
No, you do not. We actually recommend leaving names and email addresses blank so that your guests can enter their own information when they arrive. We do recommend letting your guests know before arrival that we will ask them to enter their information, so that they are prepared.
Yes, we will have a bin set aside in which your group may leave their personal belongings, and we will bring the bin back out after your party is over. We also have complimentary lockers available.
