Family game
at your venue
A game of challenges that we bring to your garden, the park or the holiday home. Short enough to fit alongside the rest of the day.
What is a family game at your venue?
A family game at your venue is a series of challenges that a mixed group solves together, at the place where you already are. We bring everything and explain how it works, and then the group plays it themselves. It is more compact and cheaper than a full family day, and that is exactly why it fits alongside a birthday, an afternoon at a holiday home or a Sunday with the whole family.
We write the challenges around your group. Names, habits and events from the family can be included, so the group recognises things that would never be in a shop-bought game.
What makes it suitable for a mixed group?
Three things decide whether everyone keeps taking part:
We bring everything
The challenges, the materials and the explanation all come from us. Nothing needs to be ordered, printed or set out beforehand, and we take it all away again afterwards.
All ages at once
The challenges alternate between observing, thinking, doing and recognising. That means there is always a moment when a child is quicker than an adult, and the other way round.
Fits the space you have
Garden, park, woods, holiday home or indoors. We adapt the challenges to the space, rather than you having to find a place that suits the game.
How does an afternoon like this go?
We arrive well before the start, set up what needs setting up and explain in a few minutes what it is all about. Then the group gets going, in teams or as one group, depending on the number of people.
During the game we keep an eye on the pace. If a team gets stuck, it gets a nudge. If things go too fast, we add something. That kind of adjusting is exactly what a game you buy yourself cannot do.
At the end there is a result or a shared reveal, and we tidy up. The rest of the day can simply carry on.
How much does a family game cost?
A family game starts at €195 for the whole group, including materials and hosting. That is the entry level of what we do, and deliberately kept low because this is often the first thing people book with us.
If you want to add more elements, or build a programme for part of a day, prices start at €550. After a short conversation you get a fixed price, so you know where you stand before you commit to anything.
Frequently asked questions
How many people is a family game suitable for?
A family game works from about six people up to around thirty. Below six it becomes more of a puzzle than a game, and above thirty we divide the group into teams that start at the same time with their own set of challenges.
From what age can children take part?
Children from around six years old can take part, as long as there are adults in the team. The challenges are divided so that there is always something a child spots sooner than an adult, because otherwise the youngest team member is sitting around waiting within ten minutes.
Where can we play it?
You play a family game in a garden, a park, woods, a holiday home or simply indoors. We look beforehand at the place you have in mind and adapt the challenges to it, rather than using a fixed route that is the same everywhere.
How long does it take?
Allow an hour and a half to two hours. That is deliberately short: at a family birthday or a day at a holiday home there is usually food, coffee and free time as well, and a game that runs too long ends up competing with them.
Do we need to prepare anything ourselves?
You arrange the group and the place, nothing else. We bring all the challenges, materials and supplies, explain how it works and take everything away afterwards. You don't need a phone to take part.
