What is Spy Nation?
Spy Nation is a real-world spy game in Ottawa that places players inside intelligence-inspired missions using mobile gameplay, QR codes, and real locations. Scan a mission-specific QR code, unlock classified briefings, clues, and time-sensitive decisions. Each mission blends puzzle solving, fieldcraft, and situational analysis. The experience feels like an authentic covert operation.
Spy Nation also teaches real concepts from the world of intelligence.
Players are introduced to core elements of espionage such as surveillance awareness, behavioral observation, dead drops, cover stories, and covert communication. You learn as you play and apply the knowledge inside each mission. The result is an experience that entertains, educates, and immerses you in the world of intelligence.
Spy Nation will continue to expand with advanced real-world scenarios.
Trained role players and actors will introduce live interactions that mirror actual intelligence work. You will meet assets in the field and receive in-person briefings. You will respond to evolving situations created specifically for your mission. These scenarios will push the game toward a fully immersive espionage environment that unfolds around you in real time.
