## Description

Review: This is a good teaching kit for a child that is interested about codes and passing information back and forth. It does lack the information about when cyphers were used and for what. I did gift it with a book about spies during the revolutionary war.
Review: This review is for the Thames & Kosmos Spy Labs Inc: Secret Codes and Ciphers, Learn how to make and decipher four types of secret codes. I love that this comes in a metal tin to store the spy tools. The kit itself is a little underwhelming. It includes a small direction insert, cardstock pieces for a cipher disk and polybius square, a piece of rope for Quipu (knotted codes), and chalk to leave vagabond messages. The knots and chalk are more of a suggestion for kids to create their own secret spy code. Overall the box is fantastic and the kit is good but not what I expected. The pieces are flimsy and some of the code methods are much more simple than expected. Despite my underwhelm I think that my kid will have some fun with it and will enjoy using the tin to store treasures in when he’s done with the coding tools.

## Features

- DETECT HIDDEN METALLIC CLUES: Use the compact metal detector to uncover coins, evidence, and buried treasures—alerts with an audible beep when metal is detected through soil, fabric, or paper.
- ADJUSTABLE SENSITIVITY SETTINGS: Fine-tune the detection range with a simple twist of the knob—ideal for controlled experiments and realistic investigative play.
