Spy-Q is a collaboration between Fighting Fantasy gamebook author Ian Livingstone and award-winning puzzle and game designer Dr. Reiner Knizia who has more than 300 board games and books to his name. Reiner is an expert in algorithmically generated puzzles and has designed some original ones for SPY-Q.

Produced by specialist DS developer Razorback Developments, SPY-Q takes the player on a series of puzzle-solving spy missions, each designed to stretch even the keenest minds to their limit.

In a race against time, players must travel to 16 international cities and solve ingenious puzzles and conundrums to find clues, uncover evidence and unlock secrets to track down the evil Dr. Know. Only when you have completed each mission are you free to jump on your plane to get to the next city to face the next fiendish challenge.
