Your cart is empty.Find hidden treasures, track your suspects, mark secret meeting points, and create your own scavenger hunts. The transmitter emits silent, ultrasonic sound waves, which you can detect and track using the handheld detector. Hide the transmitter with a valuable object, an important case document, or a suspect, and then use the detector to search for its whereabouts. When you get close to the transmitter, the LED display on the detector lights up, leading you to the transmitter. Hone your tracking skills to become a super sleuth!

Having seen this advertised, my grandchild thought it was going to work a bit differently. Overall satisfied.

My girls are under the age of 10 and this toy is too difficult to set up and use for them. Maybe some older children wouldn't have those issues.

My kids and their cousins (ages 8, 7, 6, and 5) spent literally hours playing with this thing, so it's an absolute winner in my book. *I* hid the sensor, and they'd take turns holding the tracker and taking point on the search.You have to hold down the trigger, and when you get close-ish (like in the same room) the lights start to blink. You can stand still and turn side-to-side until both the red and the green sides are solid and not blinking (if red is flashing, turn slightly toward red, if green is flashing, turn slightly toward green). Once both sides are solid, you walk forward along that line, and the lights glow brighter and brighter till you're within arm's reach of the sensor.You do need a lot of space to really play, but I spent hours hiding it all over the house for them, and they kept finding it time after time. It's perhaps a bit pricey, but it kept them out of my hair (except when they found it and needed it hidden again) and happily occupied.

Got this for my grandsons and paired it with a timer to find the "trophy" before the timer goes off. This allows one to use the "detector" from the Spylab kit to search for trophy (which is the device that emits an ultrasonic signal that also comes within the Spylab kit. My grandsons took turns for over an hour finding trophies hidden throughout the house, garage, etc. TIP: it helps if you put the "trophy" in a room where you can close the door, because the kids really like it when they open the door and the detector "lights up" indicating they are close. The detector is generally "off" (one yellow LED lights at the front of the screen) until it start coming within range of the trophy. At that point, one side (or the other, or both sides) lightup (one side is green the other red) and are flashing. This tells you that you are getting "warmer" and as you turn around to scan the room, eventually both sides will light up. As you move closer to the trophy, the lights will come on steady - then it is really just a hunt to find it in close proximity. Let your imagination run - make up stories, the more you put into it, the more fun the kids think it is! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I got this for my grandson to play with and to teach him about technology. In theory, it would be cool for him to learn about things that he can't see (he just turned 6) yet has to understand are still there. We live in an area where nightly we see hundreds of bats as they begin their nightly flight to feed along the coast. Watching them dip and dive as they use sonar to find and eat other flying insects... so the idea that this toy may help him see how WE use sonar to detect and find something in a somewhat similar fashion... well, that would be cool.The skinny on this toy is that it does light up when the sending unit is on.... but that is it. There is no way to understand from the lights.... either the direction, or the proximity of the sending unit.. Rotating the handheld device produced no difference in the lighting... either the red, green, or otherwise. If the unit was within about 30 feet of the handheld device... the lights all lit up. That was it. I did my best to try to figure out in which direction the device was.... but I could not. For now it will have to go unused. That is a shame.... as I really wanted it to work better... just a little better...

This Location Spy Tracking kit is both functional and easy to use, while also looking cool.The first thing I wasn't too much of a fan for was that there were no included batteries, especially for the price asked for such a toy, but worse is that both the tracking gun and the transmitter device use different size batteries. Now once you get batteries into both the devices it's quite easy to use. Power on the transmitter and just place the transmitter where you desire; then just use the gun by pulling and/holding the trigger to get lighting hints on its location.The gun has a range of maybe 25ft to detect the transmitter and that's with minimal walls and/or doors. Basically, enough to detect the transmitter from one end of a small hallway to the dining room on the opposite side of the house. The tracking gun lights up either with a half green/red circle or lights. The lights flicker and pulse when they pick up a faint signal, and depending on where the signal was picked up, that side of the circle will light up more than the other. Once you get relatively closer to the transmitter the circle of lights begins to brighten and stay on fully when you're within 5ft of the transmitter.The transmitter is able to send signals through smaller objects, which in my case I used a large plastic salad bowl to cover it up with, and it doesn't really hamper the tracking guns detection too much. However, what does hamper the detection, like said before, is walls and doors. If you're not in an open area or in the same room, the tracking gun won't pick up the signal. And the tracking is all done with lights, there's not audio beeps or anything to further help you locate the transmitter.A few things that do hurt this product, or in my opinion at the very least, is the transmitter is the size of a hockey puck and has a bright red light that shines on the top of it... not really what you call "stealthy" in design. The tracking gun is nice with the lights, but audio beeping would also be a big plus too, even if it was limited to a 5ft range when it started to beep or if there was an option to allow audio beeps too.It is a fun and unique gadget, but it has really niche uses though for it, such as planning a hide seek, scavenger hunt or some type of secret surprise search.Overall, this Spy Gadget tracking toy kit does work and potentially can be a fun way to enhance some activities with a secret spy/agent like twist. Would make a perfect gift (or gag gift) for any spy loving fan, or spy gadget lover.
