Secret Oops! is an innovative cooperative local multiplayer Augmented Reality game where players try to make sure that the world's dumbest spy isn't detected. When a new threat arises and briefcases start to disappear all over the world, the S.P.Y. Agency, the only agency in the world run by robotic pigeons, sends its best agent to investigate: Special Agent Charles.Charles is the best spy in the world but... he's also as dumb as a rock. Security cameras? Deadly traps? Dangerous robot-guards? Charles will happily trigger them all. Luckily you and your friends are here, ready to help him!Thanks to the latest hacking device, the Spymatic 3000, you'll be able to interact with the world remotely and disable the security systems, helping Charles to accomplish his mission.

Gamers will have 35 hand-crafted levels to work their way through and there are two game worlds available right now. More will be added in due course, too.

You'll need to be an Apple Arcade subscriber to play Secret Oops! and that'll set you back $4.99 per month after an initial one-month trial period.
