Description
This special agent spy kit packs a whole undercover mission into one illustrated box, ready for an afternoon of codes, clues and disguises. Inside are a pair of dark spy glasses, a Secret Agent identification card, a silver and black star badge, a black moustache disguise and an invisible pen with a white cap for writing hidden messages and a blue cap for revealing them. Kraft envelopes stamped Top Secret hold the decoder kit and the fingerprint kit. Between them come colour code message sheets with red viewers and coloured pencils, fingerprint dusting powder, a little red brush, a magnifying glass, a fingerprint pad and record cards, plus a notes sheet for keeping case files.
It is a toy built for make-believe at home: the kitchen table becomes headquarters, the hallway becomes a crime scene and every door handle is a chance to lift a print. The fingerprint instructions walk through each step, from finding a clean, flat surface to sprinkling the powder and brushing it gently away, and the record cards have room to build a database of friends' and family's prints. The instruction sheets are printed in English, French, German and Spanish. As a gift, it brings plenty to unwrap and lots to do.
The kit is made from card, paper, ink and plastic, and the box measures 30cm long, 26.6cm wide and 5cm deep. Its outer sleeve is printed to look like a brown leather spy briefcase with a handle and metal-look corners, and it is made to be cut out and kept as part of the game. Keep the card and paper pieces dry, and tuck everything back into the envelopes after each case so nothing goes missing. The illustrated box makes a ready-made present that needs little more than a bow, and the briefcase keeps the adventure going long after the first code is cracked.
