Philly Spycraft Mission

CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT

This immersive, cooperative adventure for 3–6 players brings spy movie tropes into the real world! You and your small private group will become field agents with the Philadelphia Intelligence Agency and go on a spy mission in the Bella Vista neighborhood. Over the course of 1.5 miles, you’ll use your field kit to:

  • gather intelligence from your targets

  • intercept classified communications

  • decode secret messages

  • pick up supplies from dead drops

  • …and take down an evil organization?

This experience operates a bit like an escape room. You’ll meet up with me for a mission briefing, then head out on your own for the mission, and reconvene with me upon conclusion for a debrief and evidence transfer.

Philly Spycraft Mission isn’t quite ready yet, but if you found your way to this page, you’ll also love South Philly Mural Escape, my mural-themed escape room built into the real world!

Questions you might have:

Can I book PSM for more than six people?
I won’t stop you, but just know that your experience may be diminished by having “too many cooks in the kitchen.” Some members of your group may feel like they aren’t able to contribute.

Can I book PSM for just one or two people?
Again, I won’t stop you, but your experience may be a bit more challenging.

Can I reschedule if the weather is bad?
You can reschedule your booking any number of times for any reason, up to 36 hours in advance.

Do I need to know anything about Bella Vista or spy stuff?
No, you do not need any special knowledge! All you’ll need is a charged phone that can send and receive text messages.

Why is it so expensive?
Philly Spycraft Mission is an immersive, story-driven adventure that takes place in the public space. When I say that it’s unlike anything you’ve ever experienced, I’m not being hyperbolic. Achieving that for you—in a seamless, invisible way—requires detailed behind-the-scenes setup and execution. Taken together, these factors justify the cost.
