Espionage: 101 July 10, 2006

Advance intelligence indicates that a certain very elusive, very seductive, and very secret pair of agents will be visiting Washington on an important mission this fall. We are assembling an elite team under the leadership of former CIA Chiefs of Disguise, Tony and Jonna Mendez, to determine what the agents’ assignment is and how we can assist—or thwart them. Join the team and be put through your spy paces during this fun and fantastic introduction to the intricacies of espionage. This action-packed adventure will take place in the storied halls of the Willard InterContinental Hotel where you’ll need to blend into the hotel’s swank scene while you shadow suspects in the famed Peacock Alley and listen in for suspicious whispers at the Round Robin Bar. All your wit and savvy will be required as you gather intelligence, conduct surveillance, and peek into the glamorous world of our super secret agents in this rare opportunity to blend real spycraft training and the delicious fantasy world of international intrigue, perfect martinis, glamorous men and women, and luxurious sports cars.

Co-sponsored by The Willard InterContinental Hotel in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the hotel’s re-opening.
