The International Spy Museum is celebrating Halloween with a weekend full of events for special agents of all ages. Spend the scariest night of the year at the place where disguises aren’t just for Halloween!
Enjoy “Spy Fright,” a haunting twist on the standard Spy at Night event (on both Friday and Saturday evenings) complete with the specialty Vampagne cocktail, a disturbingly delicious combination of Prosecco, Black Vodka, and raspberry puree. Participants will enjoy a spine-chilling trip through the Museum’s immersive experience Operation Spy and other spy games, including the new CLUE: Secrets & Spies Edition and expert tradecraft demonstrations.
Families will have the unique opportunity to celebrate Halloween with Hasbro’s DC launch of their CLUE: Secrets & Spies Edition. Special Agents Scarlet, Mustard, Plum, and crew will be on hand to greet junior agents. Game demos and giveaways will also take place from 1pm – 9pm on Saturday, with special Halloween treats including pumpkin cookies, spiced cup cakes and fall cider available in the Spy Café.
As part of the festivities, a professional make-up artist will teach the tools-of-the-trade necessary to transform guests in preparation for a night of tricks and treats. Demonstrations are free of charge and include quick disguise applications. A costume contest will be held in the Spy Store at 7 pm on Halloween night with prizes awarded to the most imaginative costumes.
Everyone is invited to arrive in disguise both Friday the 30th and Saturday the 31st of October. A 50% general admission discount will be given to everyone in costume as well as a 25% discount for all store purchases and 25% off admission to Spy at Night. See the museum’s website for more information.
