Polybius Games Ltd
Polybius Games is a dynamic Scottish computer games developer specialising in new ways to entertain and educate children through online interactive gaming focusing on the world of espionage.
The company’s core strength is providing a new entertainment concept that is able to inspire the imagination of children. The ease of access to the World Wide Web has enabled Polybius to create a platform where it can specialise in creating bespoke games for any venue, anywhere in the world, and in multiple languages.
Director David Goutcher, a former detective in the Scottish Drug Enforcement Agency, said: “The real world of espionage and surveillance is exciting – and very dangerous. Recreating that experience to train law enforcement officers inspired me to develop games for children.
“A year ago we launched Super Spy Camp, which provides entertainment for children on holiday worldwide at hotels, cruise ships and holiday parks.
“Clients already include some of the world’s leading international hoteliers including Gleneagles, Center Parcs, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts (USA) and Jumeirah Hotels in the Middle East.”

Players are given a code name and password and when they log on to www. superspycamp.com they are told: “Should you choose to accept these missions you will be entering the secret world of international espionage. You will be competing against and training along with fellow recruits testing your special agent skills, breaking secret codes and much more.
“Beware… the threats from double agents and enemy spies are real and they are actively seeking the same information as you. Remember, you should trust no one with the information you learn. Don’t forget this is a secret mission and you are training to be a Super Spy.”
David added: “An exciting development for us is the agreement we’ve just reached with a leading literacy, TV and film agency for a series of children’s novels based on the story lines within the games. These novels will be written by a renowned children’s author and Hollywood screenwriter.”
