#2Is this a “The Last Starfighter”-esque recruitment tool?

#3This reminds me a bit of the Wolf Orchestra, from Charles Stross's "Merchant Princes" series.

#4As a country, it is important that you have smart spies and the way to recruit is to identify potential candidates when they are young and nurture them. But as a parent, it will be your most important responsibility to prevent your kids from falling into this seemingly cool traps and become a spy which will not be a good life for your kids.

It very much depends on exactly what kind of intelligence role they're in. Few CIA members are doing wet work. Exposure to the intelligence community sheds light on a lot of information that the vast majority of people don't have access to, and can be a pathway to lucrative careers in government or industry.

#6"Spy Kids" has a trademark and sells video games, I don't see why this isn't trademark infringement. Surely the CIA would be aware, could Disney have approved it? Wouldn't there be notice at the bottom then?

That’s ok. If you don’t want your kids to be spies in the future, just say some stuff online that the agencies will dislike but which is not illegal to say.
Hopefully that will discourage them from recruiting your children in the future. After all, who would want to hire the sons and daughters of a person who raised them with views that run so obviously counter to the opinions of the agencies.
Edward Snowden is a humanitarian hero, and I will raise my kids to know that that is true :)

#8I was just reminiscing about the days when every random website had a “games” section. We got to bring that back.

This isn't about recruitment, it's about PR. If the CIA is friendly and fun and cool, then you'll keep it funded. Period.
