Code Stick/Scytale code (cut a long narrow strip of paper and wind it around a specific stick/broom handle then write the message across the wound paper and then unwind … revealing a long strip of paper with seemingly random numbers on it!).Use another language as code – Russian is a good one.Pigpen Cipher and here is a sample pigpen message.Eyeball benders (extreme close-up photographs of things).Scramble the letters (if the first and last letter are not changed it is quite easy to unscramble…….For example: if teh fsrit and lsat lteter aer nto canhegd it si qitue esay ot usnrcmalbe.Make Invisible Ink (write in lemon juice or milk then warm the note and reveal it by placing over a warm toaster/candle ….
Hunts are great fun for the children – Find the “stolen” lootbags/cake/pinata/formula/bomb diffusing instructions
Decoding games -try close up pictures of objects printed on regular paper …or “eyeball benders also write things out in “code” and have the children translate them). Have a volunteer (parent/ neighbor/friend) burst into the room and “steal” something and ask the surprised children to give correct eyewitness accounts (you could put them into 2 teams and the teams could battle it out). Observation tests – Show a set of objects ….then cover them and remove an object, then have the “spies” figure out which item was removed.
Then lift the print with some scotchtape and place the tape on a piece of card. Fingerprinting tests – One way to do this is make a fingerprint on a smooth surface and then lightly brush on graphite dust (rub a pencil against sandpaper to create some graphite dust).Physical tests (a-Obstacle course, b-relay races, c-balancing contests …).

Put your guests through a Series of “Tests” to see if they are “Spy Material” …
Believe it or not the CIA has a kid’s page on their website that has Games (!). Have the aim of your treasure hunt be the secret “diffuse the bomb” directions (use an oven timer/ alarm clock/ ipod to count down the time). Print out the “foot prints” and stick them to the walls/ceiling with painter’s tape.Ī “bomb” can be made out of a piece of plasticine with old wires sticking out of it and bits and pieces of metal stuck to the plasticine, then put in a box, stick in a flashlight, bike light, egg timer … anything. Tape maps and different country flags to the wall. Add chalked body outlines outside (on pavement/sidewalk) for an interesting touch. Come up with an Organization name… “Robert International Spy School” (“RISS”) “Robert Bureau of Investigation” (“RBI”) or “R-7” (If Robbie is turning 7). The birthday child could deliver the invites door-to-door (ring the bell then hide) so receiving the invite is more mysterious. Try writing the invitations backward (read with a mirror). “Robert Bureau of Investigation” (“RBI”) or the “R-7” (If Robbie is turning 7). Come up with an Organization name… “Robert International Spy School” (“RISS”). Call everyone by his/her code number (use the last 4 digits of the child’s phone number). Ask Party goers to dress in black and wear sunglasses.
