Your mission, should you choose to play it, needs a code name. Espionage thrillers have evocative titles, so here’s a handy way to inject your spy games with some Cold War jazz. Just grab a deck of cards and draw 2 cards from it. Instant operational code name for your next mission!

Or, use this handy random playing card generator online to grab a couple cards right away.

Example: I draw 2 cards: 4♠ & J♣. Looking that up on the chart, my operation code name is: TIDAL ECHO.
