Spy Party Games are the ultimate test for many secret agent fans. It is an exciting way to celebrate a birthday or spy themed party with secret missions, code names, and lots of fun that we can’t divulge to just anyone. You’ll need special clearance for that information…

These spy birthday party games are filled with activities that use reasoning skills and investigation skills to track down the suspect.

How to Set Up for a Secret Spy Party

Set up is easy with the right secret agent equipment. You’ll need a few things to make your spy games realistic and fun.

  • Tables and chairs for all of your guests
  • Various crime scene props such as fake blood, weapons, money, etc.
  • A outline of a body on the floor with tape
  • A bulletin board for pictures or photos of the suspects (guests)
  • Weapons, disguises, sticker mustache and gadgets that are appropriate for children
  • Name badges for each of your guests
  • Nerf guns and bullseyes for party décor target practice.

Of course take a look at all our Spy Party Ideas. Find party favors, birthday cake ideas, costumes and planning and executing the best secret agent party details.

Secret Agent Training

Before starting the spy party games, you’ll want to have a little secret agent training for your guests. This will help them get into character and understand the rules of the games.

Explain that they are all undercover agents working for a secret organization. You can supply each child at the secrete agent party with a manila envelope or folder. Use the Find Your Code Names PDF to get each agent’s spy name. Provide sharpies and name tags so that each agent can refer to the other players by their spy name.

They will have to have their photo taken so you can post it on the “Wanted” bulletin board. A small black briefcase is also a cool decoration if you have access to one.

  • Explain that they are all undercover agents working for a secret organization.
  • Give them their mission briefing and explain the rules of the game.
  • Distribute any props they will need for their mission, such as fake weapons, disguises, or ID cards.

The first game is always best to start with some training so that everyone is on the same page.

Fun Spy Party Games Ideas

The following are some of the included unique ideas that are fun for kids of all ages.

Spy Game #1 – Pin the target on the enemy spy! Use a picture of an enemy spy, downloaded from the Internet or drawn yourself, and give every guest a target to pin onto it. Be sure to cover the agent’s eyes before they each pin their target onto the picture.

Spy Game #2 – Shoe Print Expert. In this game the agents will examine the shoe that was found near the crime scene and search for matches.

Spy Game #3 – Find the Suspect. Use the clues to rule out suspects and find the true culprit. Just print out the pages and provide a pencil or pen for this fun spy game for kids.

Spy Game #4 – Identify the Fingerprints. For this cool game you’ll need a few washable ink pads so your guests can see what type of fingerprints they have.

Spy Game #5 – Create Secret Agent Names. Using letters of the alphabet and your birthday month, create your own James Bond codename. Will it be Golden Slayer, Lone Wolf or Invisible Viper?

Spy Game #6 – Secret Code Clues. Can you decipher the hidden message using the code key?

Space Themed Party Games

Put the paly back in the party plan with low-cost entertainment and group games. Enjoy these seven space themed birthday party games including Star Light, Astronaut Challenge, Asteroid Crash, Alien Capture, Musical Planets, Planet Grabber and Space Pilot Practice.

Star Light

Choose two kids to be the Star Catchers. Have the other kids line up in two straight lines on opposite side of the playing area. One star catcher yells, “Star Light, Star Bright.” The other one yells, “How many stars are out tonight?” As soon as they say that, the other children try to run to the opposite line without getting tagged by the Star Catchers. The children who are tagged are out. As soon as all of the “stars” are caught, the game begins again.

Astronaut Challenge

Put candies or small prizes into a shoe box. Tape the edges shut. Wrap the box in many, many layers of wrapping paper, aluminum foil or newspaper. (Silver would be great!). Gather “astronaut gear” including some sort of hat, gloves, goggles and something to hold in each hand like a spatula or wooden spoon. One player has a pair of dice. When the timer starts, the player to the left of the child with the dice has to put on all of the astronaut gear and try to unwrap the astronaut box using only the tools. The other child is rolling the dice trying to get doubles. As soon as they roll doubles, they get to have a turn. The first player takes off all of the gear and the second player puts it on. The player to the right will then roll the dice and try and get a turn.

Asteroid Crash

Print off different “challenges” and roll them up inside of different colored balloons. Challenges could include things like: Jump 50 times on one foot, sing the alphabet backwards, etc. Turn on space music and tell all of the kids they have to keep the “asteroids” (balloons) from crashing to the floor. Stop the music and call out a color of balloon. The child holding that balloon pops the balloon and reads the challenge. If they complete the challenge successfully then they get a prize. Play again until every child has a prize.

Alien Capture

This game needs a willing older sibling or parent to help! Have them wear an alien mask and give them a bag of candy. Have several hula hoops around the yard. The alien runs around and the children try to lasso the alien by throwing the hula hoop onto them. To get released, the alien has to throw a handful of candy to the kids.

Musical Planets

This is a musical chairs game with a twist. Instead of chairs, set up balls that are sturdy enough for kids to sit on (one less than the number of kids playing). These are the planets. Have the kids walk around the balls while music is playing. When the music stops, All of the kids try to sit on a planet. The child who doesn’t get a planet to sit on is out of the game.

Planet Grabber

Put a hula hoop on the ground with balls inside of it (one less ball than the number of children). Play space themed music and have the kids walk in a circle around the hula hoop. When the music stops, all of the kids try and grab a “planet” (ball) from the hula hoop. The child without a ball is out for the next round. During the next round, remove another ball from the hula hoop.

Pilot Practice

Hang hula hoops from a tree (or ceiling) at varying heights with point values assigned to each hoop. Have each child make a paper airplane (or have some already made). Set a timer and see who can accumulate the most points by piloting their space shuttles through the hoops.

Follow these space game instructions to perfect your party or print a copy to have it accessible during your celebration.

How to Play Minute to Win It Games

The basic idea of a minute to win it game, is you have 60 seconds to complete a challenge. You can complete the task before the time, or you can complete the task with in the time.

How to Score

With each game, the adult (or individual in charge) decides how points are awarded. For example, the first person/team that finishes, gets 3 points, the next team 2 points, the last team one point. Alternatively, you can award one point for anyone that finishes. This scoring system needs to be established ahead o the game so that there is no confusion as the games are played.

How to Establish Teams

Before the game begins, teams must also be established. You can play as an individual, in pairs, or even in teams.

Invidudal: For smaller groups of kiddos, invidudal rounds are best. This gives each play an opportunity to earn their own points and play each 60-second challenge. If any games call for multiple players, you will pair up for that game but each player will be awarded individual points for “winning” the challenge.

Pairs: Groups of 2 to four players are also good with small group. This means each player will not participate in every game but rather a handful of the 18 back to school games. This is also a great way to pair younger kids with an older student. Group members will be working on earning points for their team.

Team: If playing with a bunch of kids, large teams are best for group games. One member for the team will be selected to a challenge each round. You can do the challenge multiple times, if desired. Challenges are completed to declare yourself the winning team!
