This expansion for the base Thunderbirds game plunges players into a new storyline filled with kidnappings, global conspiracies, and, of course, our arch-nemesis's lair.

The 'pick-up and deliver' mechanic comes into play as you rush to rescue hostages and gather crucial clues scattered across the map.

If you're a fan of the original series or enjoy cooperative games with a good dose of story and challenge, prepare yourself for a breathtaking mission! Adventure awaits, but beware: time is running out, and The Hood is always one step ahead.
