Spyscape

Spyscape is an intelligence museum in Midtown Manhattan spanning multiple floors with interactive displays. It covers surveillance methods, cryptography, deception tactics, and modern espionage techniques through hands-on exhibits.

The museum opened in 2018, introducing interactive espionage education designed by former British intelligence professionals. This new approach made spy tradecraft accessible to the general public through immersive experiences.

Visitors test their spy skills through hands-on activities that connect espionage tradecraft with everyday security practices. The space reflects how intelligence work shapes modern life and technology.

The museum is located on 8th Avenue in Midtown and opens daily with final entry 90 minutes before closing time. Plan to spend several hours here to fully experience the interactive activities across all floors.

Each visitor receives an electronic wristband that tracks performance through spy challenges throughout the visit. At the end, the system generates a personalized report revealing how your skills compare to actual intelligence work.
