Family and children together at a birthday
Friends and family on the same day

When grandma and grandpa ring the bell at four

A children's party in The Hague often falls on the same day as the family visit, because it saves parents a second busy day. The friends arrive at two, grandma and grandpa and the aunts trickle in from four, and suddenly the house is full. We plan the birthday party so the game is nearly finished when the family arrives. We do the last task and the results with everyone there, so grandma and grandpa see what the children have done.

If grandma and grandpa want to do more than watch, they get a role in the finale, for example as the jury or as keepers of the final clue. We ask about that in advance, because not every grandparent is keen. We also ask what time the family is expected and where they can sit while the game is still going. That way the children keep their space and nobody has to wait in the hallway.

Frequently asked questions

Can grandma and grandpa join in too?

They can join in during the finale, with a role they can do sitting down. We keep the first part of the party for the children, because adults in the game change the balance. Children quickly leave the solving to a grown-up.

What if the family arrives earlier than planned?

Then the host moves the last round forward a little. We do ask for a spot in another room or in the kitchen where the family can sit, so the game doesn't grind to a halt.

Does all this fit in one house?

Ten children and ten adults in one living room gets cramped. In that case, let the children play in another room or in the garden until the finale. If that's not possible, we'll find a small hall nearby.

How long does the party last?

The game lasts an hour and a half to two hours, not counting food. We work back from the time the family arrives, so the finale lands exactly then.
