Victoria, Australia - Codes, night vision, satellite surveillance, laser security and disguises, this interactive exhibition show cases the scientific advances that have kept spies one step ahead of their competition.

Top Secret – Licence to Spy is the ultimate cloak and dagger experience, where you become the high-tech spy tasked with solving an international crime.  Along the way you discover the scientific secrets of spying, from the 1940s to the 21^st Century.

Armed with a personalized spy file, visitors will be tasked with collecting clues and investigating leads to catch the culprit and solve an international crime.

Genevieve Fahey, Scienceworks Manager, said, “Top Secret – Licence to Spy will allow our visitors to understand the basis of spy technology and how science in everyday life is used to develop new technologies.  Children and their parents will be able to pretend they are an undercover agent like James Bond, Maxwell Smart or Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible.”

Throughout the exhibition the undercover world has been recreated with lifelike sets and activities, that were designed and built by Scitech in Perth in collaboration with Scienceworks.

Top Secret – Licence to Spy is showing at Scienceworks until 29 January 2007.
