MSRP: $140.25

Exchange confidential messages with your fellow agent using disappearing and reappearing ink that only the two of you can read! Using either of the two secret pens, you can write a message that, once dry, becomes invisible. The other pen will not only reveal the information, but you can also use it to send your reply.

To use fingerprint evidence, the prints need to be made visible, collected, and analyzed. In this kit, you will find everything you need to develop and lift a fingerprint, just like a real detective.

Throughout history, encrypted codes have been used to communicate classified information, ensuring that it was concealed and could only be read by the right parties. This kit contains the tools you need to make and exchange your own secret coded messages using four different techniques.

If any metallic clues or pieces of evidence are hiding nearby, your Pocket Metal Detector will help you find them. This Spy Labs tool will detect metal through other materials like thin layers of soil, fabric, or paper and alert you with an audible beep. Let the hunting begin!

Exchange top secret info with your friends and fellow agents using this high-tech device. The pen uses a special ink that only becomes visible under ultraviolet light, like the one emitted by the flashlight on its opposite end. You can also use the UV light to find other objects and materials that glow.

The coolest new word game on the block masterfully combines skill, luck, and speed into a clever, family-friendly game that’s sure to be an instant classic! Each player begins by choosing a set of seven letter dice that each represent a different iced beverage.

You can re-roll any of your dice up to two times before the round ends. But, things are not as simple as they seem: in addition to your individual letter dice, you must also try to incorporate the most “target letters” — four ice cube-shaped letter dice that are revealed at the beginning of each round. The colder your drink, the higher your score!

The simple rules are easy to learn and teach, but the unpredictability of each dice roll helps keep the game balanced for gamers of all skill levels. There are no guaranteed wins — quick-thinking and a dash of good fortune is the only path to victory!
