About Spyscape
Spyscape (styled in all caps) is a contemporary entertainment and education brand focused on secrets. Spyscape's physical HQ in New York City is a 60,000-square-foot interactive museum created by London-based private investment group Archimedia and designed by Sir David Adjaye.
Spyscape HQ has seven main gallery zones: Encryption, which focuses on the cryptanalysts who cracked the German Enigma machine in WWII; Deception, which takes visitors through the FBI's hunt for KGB mole Robert Hanssen; Surveillance, a 360-degree room that presents a closer look at Edward Snowden; Hacking, highlighting the Anonymous (group); Cyberwarfare, which focuses on Stuxnet; Special Ops, which focuses on WWII spy gadgets and SOE Officer Virginia Hall; and Intelligence, which examines the how espionage and analysis shaped the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Visitors have the opportunity to test their own skills with various 'challenges' throughout the galleries - assessing traits from empathy and agility, to personality, brain power, and risk tolerance. The final gallery is Debrief, where visitors receive the results of their tests and challenges, and are assigned a spy role.
2024 saw Spyscape launch SPYGAMES - an all-new experience designed to activate visitors' mental and physical powers in active games designed with experts from CIA & Special Ops.
