Located near the front of the land, a large nondescript building can be found that appears to be a bank. Upon entering, it matches that similar feel. As guests venture deeper into the bank, it’s clear this is more than just a bank. Guests enter into the bank vault before exiting the other side into a large room with screens covering every angle of the land and computer scenes showing various characters found around the land.
As guests enter further into the area, they are greeted by a member of MI6 asking if they are the new recruits. Once the guests say yes, the MI6 agent takes them through “the recruiting process”. Here, guests are given a walkthrough on downloading the app that contains all of their agent details. Their Agent name (real or not), current mission they are working on, mission history, and more can be pulled up through the app. While going through this initial recruitment process, the agent also confirms the age of the agents signing up on whether or not to include potential missions taking guests to the Casino or not (the hotel as a whole will have missions for guests of all ages, but certain missions will be locked to guests over the age of 18 to visit the casino). With the recruiting all set up, guests are now ready to head out to their first mission.
As the guests leave HQ, they can open the app to accept their first mission. Upon opening the app and choosing to receive a mission, M pops on the screen to give a briefing: “Hello new recruits. Welcome to MI6. Before we get into the big missions, our first one will help you get your feet wet in the world of espionage. For your first mission, locate the person near the front entrance of the casino wearing a green beret. When you find them, tell them the code phrase ‘the snow this year is better at Innsbruck. But not at St. Moritz’. They will give you further instructions from there. Good luck, recruit.” Upon the guest finding the right “informant”, the guests are given a sheet of paper with coordinates that they take back to HQ to locate the missing intel. With the completion of the first test mission, the guests unlock the complete lineup of possible missions they can get. Themissions that can be completed by guests consist mainly in the land of Monte Carlo. A few may be located throughout London Square, as well as one or two on the studio tour, but the majority are just in the land to allow guests to easily bounce around the land completing missions all day long.
Some, but not all, of the missions include:
Villain's Lair Infiltration:
Guests are tasked with infiltrating a recreated villain's lair filled with obstacles, puzzles, and challenges. The mission requires stealth, agility, and problem-solving to reach the objective undetected (almost a mini escape room to get into the lair).
Mysterious Briefcase Delivery:
Guests are given the mission to deliver a mysterious briefcase to a specified location (one at the casino, the exit to Monaco Pursuit, or to a side door of Riviera Reflections). Along the way, they encounter unexpected challenges, espionage encounters, and must make strategic decisions to ensure a successful delivery.
The Cipher Code Challenge:
Guests must crack a complex cipher to uncover the location of a secret meeting. The mission includes decoding messages hidden throughout the park and solving puzzles to prevent a security breach letting HQ know where this meeting is before it’s too late.
Code Name Scavenger:
Guests head to the studio tour where they look out for a specific gold briefcase hidden along the tour. After making note of where the briefcase was and the code word on it, the guest returns to HQ to inform the agents where the important intel can be found.
The Secret Message:
Hidden around London Square, guest agents can find messages hidden in the details. To the average guest, it may not mean much but to these intrepid agents, they know exactly what these phrases are, putting them together to report back to HQ.
Operation Casino Royale (CASINO LEVEL):
Guests are assigned the mission of infiltrating a mock casino to gather intelligence on a villainous organisation. They must navigate through card games, secret passages, and encounters with undercover agents.
High-Stakes Poker Showdown (CASINO LEVEL):
Guests become part of a high-stakes poker game, using their skills to uncover valuable information from other players. The mission involves reading body language, bluffing, and ensuring a successful outcome.
