Spy Academy: Top Secret Field Mission

One recruit. A series of Puzzles. A chicken no one saw coming.
Redeem your gift and begin your espionage adventure!

🎉 Congratulations! You’ve Been Gifted an Adventure

Someone clearly thinks you’re brave enough to survive something more intense than socks this year.

You’ve been gifted an interactive, paranormal, city-wide escapade you can play with friends, family, or solo - anytime, in almost any city.

Welcome to Spy Academy.

🧭 Your first field mission awaits.
Try not to blow your cover… Or lose the chicken.

Welcome to Spy Academy, the world's least-prepared and most over-confident spy training division.

As a freshly recruited rookie, you'll hit the streets to solve puzzles, follow intel drops, decipher coded messages, and attempt to impress HQ with your "professionalism" (no promises).

Each location offers both easy or hard puzzles, so you can choose your difficulty. But be warned... one of them may involve tracking down a suspicious chicken.
Nobody knows why. Nobody asks.👇 Watch the briefing to get properly prepared before you begin.

Step 3: Create Your Route
Now comes the fun part.

This adventure is location-based, which means you decide where the story unfolds. Inside the app, you’ll be guided through placing Frightnight story chapters at real-world locations that fit the narrative. 

Setup takes about 15 minutes, and we recommend doing this at home, preferably somewhere well-lit, before heading out on your investigation.

🎥 Watch the short walkthrough below to see how route creation works:

In general, you’ll be choosing locations that are:

  • Easy to walk between
  • Public and accessible
  • Atmospheric enough to make you question your life choices
  • You can play day or night, but if you play at night please select a neighborhood that is safe to walk in the evening.

Yes, you can have one person set the route for your entire group.

Just mark it as a community route with a memorable name so your whole team can access it via the Select Route button.

📍 Location Suggestions for This Adventure

Best played in: Busy neighbourhoods, mixed-use areas (that at a minimum have a cafe or restaurant), or downtown/entertainment districts.

Included location types you’ll need are:

  • Cafe/restaurant
  • Some place ‘interesting’ to start and end your adventure - that might include murals, landmarks, or a really cool tree.
  • Generic town features like lampposts, a patch of grass, or a flight of publicly accessible stairs.

If a location doesn’t quite work, the app will guide you to select alternative location types that still support the mission.

See you out there, Adventurer!

Your story is waiting… and it knows where you are.
