Endorsed by International Education Authorities and named as the top EdTech product in UK Education, it also featured in the new International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) book on the best future technologies for classrooms around the world. 

"In a world where some children have significantly more contact with a screen than a page, Spy Quest offers them the opportunity to develop higher order thinking skills: to create, to evaluate, to analyse and to apply skills within an exciting context that motivates them."

SECONDARY SCHOOL
"Curriculum for excellence aims to ensure that our young people develop the attributes, knowledge and skills needed for life, learning and work. The first year students were quick to recognise the team building aspect of the game but the review materials provided were invaluable in supporting the students to reflect on the skills used during the game and allowed them to recognise their own personal strengths and those of their team."
Eileen Kennedy, DHT St Thomas Aquinas RC Secondary
TRANSITION
"Spy Quest was a very positive experience as it allowed me to see the groups interact and work together as teams. The nature of the missions naturally encouraged the participants to be excited, focused and enthusiastic about completing their mission. They developed social skills, core skills and allayed many fears/ concerns through a fun activity. They really remained oblivious to the fact that actual learning was taking place." 
Anna MacLellan DHT Knightswood Secondary
LIBRARIES
“This is the first time we’ve run Spy Quest as a library club and it’s so impressive to see how immersed the kids are. I already knew it was excellent, but it’s really amazing to see it being used first hand!” 
Rosie Milligan,  Library Programmes Officer.  East Ayrshire Council
