Good gift set
I got this for a spy themed gift so it fits my theme perfect. I hope it’s a lot of fun. It has spy glasses and a periscope. I didn’t see that periscope in other spy sets so chose this set for that in particular.Edit – glad I got this spy kit opposed to other options. The periscope was a huge hit. They loved the spy glasses too.

Good purchase
I bought this for my 9 yr old son to open for his school Christmas gift. He loved it! He especially loved the invisible ink. It kept him busy and off his electronics for a long while.

Not the best
Telescope is hard to look through and see much and is very small. Glasses seem too big for average kid so don’t stay on ears well. Best thing is the invisible pen and light but theyvare small and not worth price paid. Havent tried activities yet. Grandson liked it but I wouldn’t buy again I I had seen it first.

Recommended for ages 8+, but this kit is VERY simple, and probably better suited to 6- or 7-year-olds. The spy glasses, periscope, and invisible ink pen are are pretty cheap, but they are decent. The “missions,” however, are ridiculously basic: “Use the spy glasses to look behind you…now give yourself a sticker!” Pretty underwhelmed by this package – I would’ve been better off putting a better kit together piecemeal. I don’t really think it’s worth the price they are charging.
