What kid's age group is this 'mission' aimed at?

Hi Christine, this mission is suitable for children between 5-11. Younger children will need their parents help, however they still love the mission. This mission works best for children with active imaginations!

This is the mail order version, not the Queenstown one?

Hi Tony,
Yes this is the mail order version, not the Queenstown version. It can be done at any time in any location.

This sounds fun, but to clarify; you work through papers and leaflets (that all get sent) that have clues to figure out some mystery? is that also in the same packages and I'd have to remove the answers before giving it to the player?

Hi Amy,
This is really a one time thing for children to complete. The experience is largely about the fact that they have been recruited as a secret agent - the mission has their name on it and you, the parent find a way to surprise them with it. As they complete the mission, all the while believing that they really have been recruited as a secret agent to an international agency, they will also be able to unlock videos at a website "AKA agent headquarters". You can have a quick look there if you like at www.spycodes.info . I hope that helps!

And there are no answers in the mission that need to be removed. There shouldn't be any trouble for the kids to work out the answers.

Are all of the missions the same? So if I ordered for both children, they would have the same mission?

Hi Kathryn,
Yes, this is the first in a what will be a series of "Catch the Red Raven" missions. The kids can work together to solve the mystery. Which makes it a great birthday party activity.

Is it 1 kit per child? Or can they work together with 1 kit? I have 2 daughters.

Hi Joanne,
The missions are designed for the children to have their own mission, they could share if you prefer, however, each having their own give the children a chance to work through the puzzles individually.
I hope that helps!

Hey, is this a personalised kit? I couldn't get a couple for my youth group to complete it in two groups. It will have to have a name of some sort on it?

Is there much reading involved? One of my children has dyslexia, so trying to figure out if they would need to share or not. Thank you.

Hi, I've had a few comments on sharing packs. I do write the children's name on each pack and give them an agent name. The main issue with children sharing packs is that they don't seem to buy into the "Spy Recruitment" experience as much as when they get their own mission. The enjoyment of the experience really comes from the idea that the children believe that they have been recruited as secret agents. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work as well when they are sharing missions. They can still work together with individual packs but they get a chance to work out the puzzles in their own way!

Hi Gin,
Thanks for your question. There is a bit of reading involved, however there are also some attached videos which reinforce the messages in the mission. Children are told they are allowed to ask an adult for help as long as they swear them to secrecy first! I hope that helps!
