HOW I KEPT MY CHILDREN ENTERTAINED

With Easter around the corner, and our weather so unreliable, how do you keep the kids entertained? Bob Richardson, MD at Si5 SpyMissions knows how.

Bob invented Si5 SpyMissions off the back of the missions he used to write for his own children, set up as a series of puzzles wrapped up in a story, centred around learning and having fun.

“This seemed the best way for my children to learn and retain knowledge. Our home would magically transform into the secret winter hideout of Youriz Krentev, bristling with high tech security, trip wires, cameras and guards”.

You don’t need to buy anything to make a mission fun. Kids have great imaginations, if you say a deodorant bottle is a camera, then it’s a camera and a length of red wool is a laser beam. As long as your storyline keeps your child engaged then you already have them entertained.

“One of my favourite puzzles was a code written on the inside of a door. The door could only be opened twice, each time for only 5 seconds, or the alarm would sound. When my children opened the door to read the code, they discovered it was 45 characters long. After 15 minutes of discussion they came up with the solution. They made their way through security grids and trip wires to Youriz’s office and stole his camera! Now they opened the door and photographed the code”.

Bob wanted every child to be able to experience his missions. A dream that now sees around 60,000 people through the doors of the four centres each year. Why not book at the MK centre and experience it for yourself?
