'Spy in the City' Interactive Experience Modernized with New Mobile Platform

NOW AVAILABLE ON THE SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB™ 3, SPY’S INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE TOUTS IMPROVED GAMEPLAY AND ENHANCED MISSION

APRIL 23, 2014 – WASHINGTON, DC – The International Spy Museum announced today the re-launch of one of its premiere interactive experiences, Spy in the City®, now available for the first time on the Samsung Galaxy Tab™ 3.

The state-of-the-art device will allow users a faster-moving cutting edge experience while engaging in their mobile mission, bringing today’s technology together with the classic tradecraft of espionage. The latest revamp brings with it mission enhancements, more efficient gameplay, and a sleek new design to the established GPS-guided mission.

Developed with real intelligence officers, Spy in the City gives users an authentic understanding of some of the challenges real spies face. To complete their mission, operatives must intercept an agent attempting to sell classified information to foreign operatives. Users will explore the Nation’s Capital with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 in hand, as secretive clues and operation details are automatically pushed to the device upon reaching predetermined locations throughout the city. Their spy skills are put to the test as players hack hostile agent communications, run a false flag operation, decrypt hidden codes and documents, and intercept audio intel, all while earning points upon each achievement as they work their way to mission completion.

Spy in the City matches the interactive standards the Museum maintains overall to educate and engage the public on the tradecraft of espionage. The Museum is particularly focused on providing a context that fosters an understanding of the important role of intelligence in impacting current and historic events. Spy in the City is available as a standalone experience as well as in concert with general admission to the Museum’s complete collection.
