In Deception, you learn how to catch a liar, and to lie persuasively! Next, keep your eyes on the target in the museum’s 360° Surveillance Challenge. Afterwards, determine how to protect yourself online and learn about real life hackers at the Hacking Bar. Move on to the museum’s thrilling Special Ops Challenge where your Quantico dreams become a reality.

 

Based on how you perform in the challenges, discover the kind of spy you would make. The museum’s profiling system, which was developed by a former head of training at British Intelligence, will assign you one of 10 spy roles that include Analyst, Hacker, Surveillance Officer, Intelligence Operative or Special Ops Officer, among others.
