Children playing a story game during a birthday party
The birthday child chooses the theme

Turning a favourite topic into a whole game

For a children's party in Utrecht, we let the birthday child choose the theme, and it can be something very specific. A theme only works if it's built into the game. At a dinosaur party the children dig up bones and assemble a skeleton together; at a space party the group has to repair a rocket before the countdown ends. That way the children play out the story themselves and the bunting on the wall is just a side issue.

When you enquire, we ask what the birthday child is into at the moment, and how specifically. Animals is broad; sharks gives us much more to work with. If the theme is a well-known film or series, we create our own story in that style with our own characters. Dressing up is welcome but not required: a hat or badge we bring is often enough to get into character. The birthday party lasts one and a half to two hours, excluding food.

How a theme gets into the game

  • The topic is built into the tasks themselves
  • A story with a beginning and a resolution
  • A role or prop for each child

What we'd like to know from you

  • The topic, as precisely as possible
  • Whether the friends know the theme too
  • The age of the birthday child and the group

Frequently asked questions

My child wants a theme hardly anyone knows, is that possible?

An unusual theme is fine. We build the game for every party, so an unfamiliar topic is mainly a matter of asking a bit earlier. Two to four weeks in advance gives us time to work it out properly.

What if the friends aren't into the theme?

The tasks have to work for everyone, including a child who has no interest in dinosaurs. The theme gives the tasks a reason, but the game itself is about searching, guessing and working together. Anyone who knows the topic well has a small advantage, and that's usually the birthday child.

Do the children need to come in fancy dress?

Dressing up isn't a requirement. If the birthday child would like it, put it on the invitation. We bring something small ourselves, so a child without a costume also has a role in the party.

What does a children's party with your own theme cost?

A children's party starts at €15 per child, including with your own theme. What it comes to depends on the age, the group size and the duration. After a short conversation you'll get a fixed price.
