‘Kim Possible’ spies search for clues in new Disney World game

Walt Disney World visitors may soon spot deputized secret agents scouring Epcot for clues to help save the world from super-villains bent on destroying the planet.

Debuting Jan. 28, the “Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure” at the Orlando, Florida, theme park blends an old-fashioned treasure hunt with high-tech spy gadgetry.

The interactive game is based on the Disney animated TV show “Kim Possible,” about a high school cheerleader who fights crime in her spare time.

Using a hand-held “Kimmunicator” device, Epcot visitors receive clues and trigger hidden surprises on a series of missions in seven World Showcase pavilions: Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Japan, France and the United Kingdom.

Visitors sign up for “Kim Possible” missions at Innoventions or on the bridge connecting Future World to World Showcase. Kimmunicators can be picked up at kiosks in Norway, Italy and the International Gateway. The game, included in the cost of park admission, takes about 45 to 60 minutes to complete.

The Orlando Sentinel’s Dewayne Bevil got a behind-the-scenes preview of the futuristic scavenger hunt.
