Right, this one made our Oscar feel like he'd actually been recruited by MI6.
I stumbled upon this while looking for something to keep a mixed group of nine- to fifteen-year-olds occupied during half-term—and blimey, did it deliver. The kids are inducted into the C.I.I.L. (Centre for International Investigations and Logic) by Commander Kilo, and suddenly they're not just playing a game, they're running a proper covert operation to uncover the truth behind Operation Black Signal.
You print it at home, set up eight secret stations, and each child becomes an agent with a mission briefing, agent badges, and a whole heap of encrypted messages to decode. There's logic puzzles, hidden codes, evidence to gather—all building towards the big reveal of who the mysterious Agent X really is.
