Operation Lotus
Blend in, crack the codes and save the Lotus chip: a spy mission on your team's phones.
About
Lotus Intelligence has learned that the Nightshade syndicate plans to steal the Lotus chip, the heart of the city’s power grid, at a tech summit. Your teams are trainee agents on their first real mission.
The operation runs on GoQuest, TeamTika’s team game app, with each team on a phone or tablet. Three stages follow the suspects from the International Airport to the Sunset Hotel and the Nightshade Base. The 12 tasks include reading luggage tags, timing flights, cracking the pilots’ phonetic alphabet, spotting signs you are being followed and staging a secret handover in the lobby.
A live leaderboard keeps the agencies competing. At the base, teams open the chip safe, find the exit and send the code phrase back to headquarters.
It is quick, stylish and fun, a good fit for 90-minute slots and indoor venues.
Learning outcomes
Spy work is all about noticing details, so teams practise careful observation: a three-letter airport code, a room number clue, a pattern in someone's behaviour.
Code words and coded messages only make sense when the team shares what each person sees, and every answer can be sent only once.
Acting out a secret handover or a tourist disguise brings everyone into the story, including quieter colleagues.
The mission report at the end asks each team to name the best thing they did together, a simple and positive way to close.

Frequently asked questions
How many people can take part?
We run up to 30 teams per event, each playing on its own phone or tablet. Players join in the phone browser with a game code, so there is nothing to install. Tell us your headcount and we will suggest team sizes.
How long does the program take?
About 90 minutes of play, plus a short briefing at the start and the leaderboard reveal at the end.
Is this suitable for a smaller venue?
Yes. Operation Lotus was built for indoor venues and 90-minute slots, and every task works within a hotel or office floor.
Can this be run indoors or outdoors?
Both. The tasks only need the app and things found nearby, so it works in a meeting room, a hotel ballroom, a resort or a garden.
Is the game available in Vietnamese?
Yes. Operation Lotus has full English and Vietnamese versions, and we set the language for each event.
