As you well know, in escape games the goal is to escape from the room but in some cases, we fail. This means that our skills are not enough. Unfortunately, if time runs out and we have failed to solve all the puzzles for us, it is Game Over.

This also happens in real life and is what happened to some spies in history. They failed to keep their identities secret and thus were executed! Others, however, succeeded in their goals!

Today, especially, I want to bring to your attention the most famous female spies, because even in escape room games, women are the ones with the best skills, just as history tells us!

As in escape room games, here are the female spies in history who were able to accomplish the mission:

Fans of escape room games should know that these women were hired as spies during World War I and World War II for counterintelligence and by members of the Resistance.

Mata Hari is surely the most famous and well-known of the female spies out there. This beautiful Dutch-born woman was known to be a femme fatale and had close relationships with military and political figures throughout Europe. She fell in love with a German officer, but that did not stop her from playing a dangerous double game with France and Germany during World War I. This cost her her life, in fact in 1917 she was arrested by the French government and shot. She showed courage to the end!

Gertrude Bell was the only woman with a political functionary position in the British armed forces at the Arab Bureau. In addition to being a spy, she was also an explorer and an archaeologist. As you can see the spies as in escape room games can perform more than one task at the same time.

On the FBI side among the female spies, we find Marlene Dietrich, a spy from the 1940s. She was an actress and singer who was supposed to inform on possible German subversive activities. It is said that Adolf Hitler had a declared passion for her and she knew how to charm him!

Another one of the female spies is a beautiful American of mestizo origin named Joséphine Baker who, however, took part in 1939 in French counterintelligence during World War II. She always showed great courage and used to hide messages to be deciphered for the resistance among her sheet music.

If you want to know who inspired Ian Fleming, the father of 007, for his Bond Girls? It was the story of Krystyna Skarbek, better known as Christine Granville. She was considered one of Britain’s most promising spies. Unfortunately, however, she was killed by a man during a trip to South Africa. He had fallen madly in love with her but the love was not reciprocated.

In short, these female spies have made their charm and seduction a weapon to use against men, would you be capable of that?
