Before the Royal Spies embarked on their missions, eight training sessions were held. Here you may find the materials relating to each training (sans the answers).
Training #1 - Creative Thinking: A crime has been committed and you need to piece together the evidence to figure out how and why the criminal did it, and then how and where he escaped to.
