SPYSCAPE opens UK debut social gaming concept in Covent Garden
Interactive museum and social gaming concept SPYSCAPE has opened its first UK site at 45 Wellington Street in London’s Covent Garden.
The 25,000 sq ft space – which is the operator’s second outside of Manhattan – looks to offer a spy-themed experience featuring authentic stories and historic gadgets.
Visitors will also receive a profile of their own personality, skills and attributes, developed by a former head of training at British Intelligence and a leading psychology professor at Imperial College London.
The venue’s social gaming arm, SPYGAMES, invites teams of two to five to tackle challenges crafted by experts from the CIA and Special Ops.
William Oliver, director of retail and restaurant leasing at Shaftesbury Capital, said: “SPYSCAPE’s arrival in Covent Garden adds another experience to our line-up of innovative operators and introduces an entirely new dimension to London’s leisure landscape. This debut flagship perfectly complements the district’s vibrant all-day entertainment scene, and aligns well with our host of unique brand-first concepts.”
The concept joins recent additions at Covent Garden, including Nespresso’s flagship boutique, as well as incoming operators such as ADOH!, a new Sri Lankan street food concept from the founders of Kolamba.
