FAQ
How do I advertise the mission at my business?
You can use the marketing materials provided by us or you are welcome to make your own.
How long does the mission take?
Most missions take about an hour to complete, older children will usually finish the mission faster than younger children.
What ages is this suitable for?
We suggest the missions are best suited for children between the ages of 5-11,
What is different about this to other children’s products?
The mission is designed to create a realistic experience of being chosen to be a spy. As the child completes the mission, they are directed to visit a website (Agency Headquarters) where there are password-protected videos for them to watch. These videos are designed to feel as if the action is unfolding in real time and the agency is using the information provided by children completing the mission to help catch the mischief maker they are chasing.
What happens if children get stuck and can’t solve the puzzles?
When children visit agency headquarters to accept their mission, they are asked to enter their parents’ email address. At this point, the answers to all the puzzles are emailed to parents automatically, to avoid any disappointment should the puzzles prove too tricky.
What are the videos about?
As your child completes the mission, they will be directed to contact Agent Headquarters. (Check it out here). As they solve the clues they will be asked to send their work to headquarters and then will be able to unlock the videos to see the 'live' transmission from our senior agents as they continue the hunt for the red raven.
To the children, this seems as though they are active participants in the hunt, and headquarters is relying on their information.
*A quick note about headquarters.
We take online safety for children seriously. We do not communicate with your child, allow them to talk to anyone else or collect any personal information from them when using the website. We reccomend that you have a look yourself before giving the mission to the children, just to see how it works!
What else do I need to know?
This is a three part series and you will need to give the missions to the children in the correct order. This is helped by the fact that we have written VOLI, VOL II and VOL III on the envelopes. Each mission should take about an hour to complete, however children go through at different rates depending on their age and problem solving abilites.
The missions will have the kids breaking codes, solving puzzles and finding out about the world around them. They have been instructed that they are allowed to show their parents, but ONLY after making them promise to keep the mission a secret!
How does it work? Why do the Kids think they are secret agents?
The best part of these secret missions is the kids really believe they are secret agents. Many of them won't even show their parents, much to the amusement of the purchaser. Have a look at the messages they send to headquarters while completing their missions here.
It works because of the way you deliver it. You write the kids name and give them a secret agent on the missions. You then devise a mischievous way to give it to them. We have a more detailed explanation here.
