Standard issue spy gear was distributed and photos were taken (for thank you cards later).

Other eye catching ideas might be passports, coins or stamps. Finally, I added bits and pieces (to catch the eye) - Paper clips, a pencil, coffee stain, tickets and a piece of torn paper with a clue on it (each guest has their own clue to contribute along the way). I also added a written note with additional information - and a magnifying glass.
