Spy Party Decorations
The key colours for your spy party are of course black and silver, and since it all needs to be pretty secretive (to protect the spies), you can go minimal on the balloons and streamers etc. But here are a few ideas set the scene:
- Put up some caution tape around your party area;
- Have a spy gear room or table where party guests can collect equipment such as dark sunglasses, hats, and other disguises, magnifying glasses, binoculars, and walkie-talkies;
- Write invisible ink messages or clues on walls or large posters. Provide black lights for the guests to discover hidden messages as they explore the party space;
- Place some “aliens” around your party area to reference the movie ‘Men In Black’. These could be in the form of soft toys, character toys or even polaroid pictures of your alien friends;
- Shape your birthday cake like a bomb or secret agent suitcase.

Spy Party Activities
Spy Training Course
Set up an obstacle course for spy training. Make it a timed challenge and award prizes for the fastest, and most careful or innovative.
Invisible Ink Station
Provide invisible ink pens or lemon juice for secret messages. Messages can be revealed using a UV light.
Puzzle Solving
Set up puzzle stations with various difficulty levels. Party guests can work individually or in teams to solve puzzles that lead to the next part of their mission.
Code Breaking Challenge
Create coded messages and challenges and have party guests decipher them. You can use simple ciphers or create a scavenger hunt where each clue leads to the next, ultimately unveiling a hidden treasure. Consider also an escape room activity.
Disguise Station
Set up a disguise station with hats, sunglasses, and scarves. Let your guests create their spy alter egos with fun disguises. As an option, include a photo booth.
Mystery Taste / Touch Game
Blindfold guests and have them touch or taste mystery items and guess what they are. Make it fun by including diversity in both taste and touch. For example, whipped cream, sherbet, lemon, jelly, sultanas, marshmellows, salt, rockmelon, banana, olives and anchovies (check for allergies).
Fingerprinting Station
Create fingerprint ID cards.
Laser Tag or Nerf Gun Wars
Of course what good spy story doesn’t include a big action scene. You can request guests bring along their own nerf gun for a nerf gun war, or consider hiring laser tag equipment from a local supplier.
