I had something like that as a toy about 20 years ago. A single pen with
tips on both sides. One to write, the other to develop. Didn't they have it
in America also?

There was also this thing where you would get these books and a magic
marker, and they you would do puzzles in the book, and use the pen to
develope the answer.
The old Infocom hint books also used a similiar setup.

Lemon juice makes a good invisible ink for kids. Write the message; heat
the paper to reveal it. I used a match, but I suspect a hairdryer would
be much more sensible.

I remember those. The hints would range in order of how desperate the
player was. That was almost as much fun as the game...
