Our Current Offerings

---

Choose the city of your adventure. In the East, we have Louisville, KY, a city renowned for its history and home to the Kentucky Derby, unique Mega Caverns, and scores of the finest bourbon distilleries in the world. For those closer to the west coast we offer Las Vegas, NV, the entertainment capital of the world. 

After arriving by private or commercial flight, you will be met by your mentor and trainer at the airport and whisked away to a safehouse, not unlike those which have been used to train NOCs since before the cold war. For four days and three nights, you will not only learn real life tradecraft (brush passes, dead drops, lock-picking, planting listening devices, hacking, firing suppressed weapons, etc.), but get to put those skills to use and live a fully immersive role playing adventure pulled from the pages of history. Your mentors and trainers will be with you every step of the way, and during some of the downtime, you’ll get a chance to hear all about their lives as intelligence operatives working all over the world. 

In addition to a vacation experience like no other, you will learn the following skills from the best in the business (subject to change based on mentor availability):

• Human Intelligence (HUMINT) Operations.
• Surveillance / Counter-Surveillance.
• Lock Picking.
• Intelligence Collection.
• Detecting Deception in Conversations.
• Installing and Detecting Monitoring Devices.
• Surreptitious / Secure Communications.
• Using Encryption.
• Dead Drops.
• Brush Passes.
• Using Improvised Alarms and “Visitor” tells.
• Social Engineering.

We can even include a few Add-Ons:

• Firing Suppressed Weapons.
• Advanced Lock Picking.
• Safe Cracking.
