SPYSCAPE is New York City’s #1-rated museum & experience. We have two separate experiences:
SPY HQ lets you explore hidden worlds, break codes, run surveillance and spot liars - while a system developed with MI6 experts reveals your personal spy role and profile.
SPYGAMES is the fun new social experience for 2-5 players where you’ll jump, climb, throw and dodge in challenges developed with CIA experts to stretch your physical and mental agility.
We take school visits to the next level - combining an immersive adventure into the world of secrets and spies with an authentic exploration of individual superpowers. We inspire students to explore how history and design, psychology and STEM shape our lives.
The SPY HQ Experience takes about 90-120 minutes.
