Secret Agent Mission

They have been selected. The clock starts the moment the envelope is opened.

One night of clearance-level access: code names issued at the door, training exercises that get harder as the evening goes on, a coded message only this team can read, a laser-style corridor to get through without touching a beam, and a timed mission that has to be finished before lights-out.

Secret Agent Mission sleepover setup — a printable welcome sign with a fingerprint motif, black teepees with agent cushions, a code breaker card, a mission objective card, a printable agent passport and notebook, binoculars, a radio, evidence envelopes and numbered markers.
The moment they'll talk about

At the moment you choose, the countdown starts.

At the signature moment the team opens the sealed Mystery Envelope and finds a coded message with its cipher key. They work the cipher, open the evidence envelopes in order and follow the numbered markers around the house, and the whole thing has to be finished before the countdown runs out and the file closes.

The thrill here is not danger: it is being trusted with something secret and important, and then discovering you are equal to it. The tension is dialled precisely to the age you choose.

Inside the experience

What the night includes

  • A themed welcome moment : Agents are met at the door with a printable agent passport, a welcome card from their handler, a printable ID badge to clip or tie on, a name label and their code name, issued or earned, with the host guide marking where to simplify for younger guests and where to add challenge for older ones.
  • The training and challenges : Training exercises, observation drills, a laser-style beam corridor, cipher work, evidence sorting and a timed field test, with the host guide marking where to simplify for younger guests and where to add challenge for older ones.
  • Food and drink ideas : A briefing-room spread, blacked-out ration packs, a red-and-black sharing board and a stand-down drink for the debrief, with swaps listed for picky eaters and every common allergy.
  • Shared printables and decorations : Clue cards, intel cards and challenge cards handed out as the mission unfolds, so the intelligence arrives in pieces rather than all at once.

Your party guide opens on any device, and you can print any page of it. The printable pieces are inside your guide, ready to download and print. It's written for a group of up to 16 guests, and the Everything you'll print list in Start here shows which pages to print and how many copies.

The party, and the whole night after it.

3 to 4 hours

Party Experience

A complete themed party from the first guest through pickup. Run it on its own and everyone heads home at a sensible hour.

Included with every guide

Sleepover Addition

Pajamas, movie and lounge time, snacks, bedtime, a slow morning, breakfast and pickup, all planned the same way the evening was. Use it when guests are staying over.

Not every night needs the overnight. Use it when guests are staying and skip it when they're not.

How it fits

Guided, Classic or Independent

Same night, 3 levels of host support. You pick the one that fits the group in front of you, and you can switch between them at any point in the evening.

More support

Guided

You explain more, demonstrate more, check in more often, and stay hands-on throughout. Good for a younger group, a first sleepover, or guests who don't know each other yet.

Balanced support

Classic

You introduce what guests need to know, help where it's useful, then give them room to take part on their own. Start here if you're not sure.

More guest independence

Independent

You set the expectations, the hygiene and the safety boundaries clearly, then let guests run more of the night themselves while you stay available.

Different guests can need different levels on the same night, and you never announce which one you're using. Guests just experience the night.

Before the night

What you will need

A phone, tablet or computer to open your guide, a printer and regular paper for the printables, scissors, and a short shopping list of inexpensive supplies. Your guide scales the quantities to your group. Cardstock is worth it for the pieces kids wave around all night if you have it, but regular paper works for everything.

Questions about Secret Agent Mission

They don't have to. Timers are optional throughout: every timed challenge has a written untimed version, the limits are generous, retries are built in, and the mission is designed so the team always finishes. Running late simply changes how the debrief reads. There's also a no-clock role written into the mission for any guest who finds pressure hard.

No. It is ribbon, yarn or crepe streamers taped across a hallway, plus a torch if you want the beams to catch the light. We tell you how much to buy, how to tape it so it peels off cleanly, and how to string it low, wide and away from stairs, corners and anything glass. Nothing electrical, nothing to hire.

There are 3 difficulties printed on the cipher cards, so you pick on the night. The easiest is a picture key: match the symbol, find the letter, with an adult reading alongside. The middle one is a genuine substitution cipher, solvable by a group in about 10 minutes with the key card. The hardest is a keyed substitution plus a grid code split across separate cards, built to take real effort. If your children already do puzzles for fun, start at the top.

Yes, and they won't feel carried. The picture-key route runs on symbols, colors and objects rather than text, the handler's messages are written to be read aloud, and the roles that matter most at that age, spotting, matching, crawling the beams and carrying the evidence, need no reading at all. The host guide marks which cards to use for a pre-reader.

Questions about the party guide

Your private link arrives by email within 7 days of your order, often sooner. You can get a full refund any time before then.

As much or as little as you want. You can print any page of your guide, and your invitations, signs and game pieces are inside the guide, ready to download and print. The Everything you'll print list in Start here shows every printable by step, so you can pick the pieces that fit your night and skip the rest. Print the essentials this year and come back for the extras next time.

No. Everything works on a regular home printer and regular paper. A few pieces hold up better on cardstock, especially cut-out cards and props, because kids wave those around all night. That's a nice-to-have, not a requirement.

That's exactly who it's written for. The guide walks the night in order, gives a duration for each part, and gives you the words to say. You're never asked to make something up on the spot.

Ages 8 through tween, in one guide. This age range is where the activities actually land: old enough to run parts of the night themselves, young enough to still love the whole thing. The guide shows you where to add more support or more independence depending on the guest.

Everything you download or print is yours to keep and use for your own family's parties, forever. Your private link expires 12 months after we send it, so download what you want to keep before then.

Yes. Print any page of your guide, and the printables you download, as many times as you want for your own family's parties. Please don't resell them, share them, or use them to run parties as a business.
