This year the secret service made a major mix -up. They mistook a 13-year-old boy called Kevin for a secret agent (I know, so much for an 'intelligence' agency). This was the sort of kid that would try and zip wire across a building and end up falling headfirst into a fountain, with his bum on show. Despite this, it is up to Kevin to save us all from an evil supervillain!

Great for the wavering believer

My boys (aged 6 and 8) have just been told at school that Santa does not exist, but would really rather believe that he does.

This story is perfect for that; the premise is that Agent X (aka Santa) uses the fact that people don't believe he exists as cover, in order to bring in the "naughty" people (criminals) during the year. Oh and he's not nearly as jolly as you've been led to believe.

I wouldn't play this to kids who are totally into Santa Claus - might raise a few unfortunate questions - but to anyone with wavering belief, it's perfect.

Two words; beard laser. Go on. You know you want too.
