Hobbies And Interests
Surveillance
One goal of a spy is to observe without being observed. Some useful equipment includes a Micro Agent Listener, night-vision goggles and binoculars. Using a Micro Agent Listener, children can hear sounds from further away than they would otherwise be able to, allowing them to keep a "safe" distance from others. Night goggles allow spies to see more clearly, while being hidden by darkness. Binoculars allow spies to observe details from far away, so nothing goes unobserved.
Communication
Children who wish to play "spy" with others may need a way to communicate with each other over long distances. Walkie-talkies allow children to deliver discreet, short messages in real-time at the click of a button. Children's walkie-talkies tend to have a range of approximately 50 feet. Some versions of walkie-talkies allow children to "code" messages by sending them through beeps in Morse code. "Voice scramblers" are also available, which allow children to send messages in a different, unrecognizable voice.
Observation
Children can observe fingerprints and other forms of "evidence" during and after spy missions using an evidence kit. Many evidence kits include ultraviolet lights, tweezers, glow-in-the-dark powder and magnification devices. These tools allow children to pick up on "clues," and observe things not visible to the naked eye. Children can then document their findings in secret by using an invisible ink pen, which can only be observed using ultraviolet light.
Security
Spies can protect themselves while at their "hideout" by using security tools such as lazer tripwires and motion alarms. Both tools have sensors that cause them to make noise when they are approached, which alerts the spy to intruders. These are best placed in the hallway outside of a spies' hiding spot. If worse comes to worst and a spy is caught, he can "defend" himself using a "Spy Blaster," which fires suction-cup darts.
