Life-size
board games
The game off the table and onto the field, with participants as the pieces. Familiar rules, tasks we write ourselves, and a playing field that fits the place where you are.
Everyone already knows the rules
With most group games, the first quarter of an hour goes on explanation. With a board game that everyone knows from childhood, that is not needed. You say the ranks work the same as on the board and the group gets going immediately.
What changes is the scale. A square is now fifty metres of walking, a setback really does mean back to the start, and bumping into an opponent is more exciting than turning over a card. That difference makes adults get just as competitive as children.
- Rules that everyone recognises immediately
- Tasks written around your group or company
- Suitable for children's parties, families and company outings
- We bring the equipment and host on the day
Three classics, life-size
Life-size Stratego
Two teams, hidden ranks and a flag that has to be defended. Tactics, running and negotiating all mixed together. The most requested of the three games, and suitable for larger groups because everyone is on the field at the same time.
Life-size Game of the Goose
The playing field is the route, the participants are the pieces. A task waits on every square: a question, an action task or a setback that sends you back. Works well for mixed groups where not everyone wants to run around competitively.
Life-size Monopoly
Teams earn play money with tasks and use it to buy streets or areas. Whoever owns the most at the end wins. Suitable for groups who like negotiating and have a little more time.
What to expect
A programme usually lasts between two and three hours, including the explanation and a short wrap-up with the result. It gets interesting from about ten participants, and it stays workable well beyond fifty because we play in teams.
We look at the venue beforehand. If you have grounds or a place in mind, we build the game around it. If not, we arrange a suitable place nearby.
A compact set-up starts at €195. For large groups or a combination of several games on one day, it costs more.
Stratego and Monopoly are trademarks of their respective owners. AvonturenEvents is not affiliated with them. We run our own outdoor games that resemble these well-known board games in set-up, and use the names to describe which game principle you can expect.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is life-size Stratego?
It is the board game set-up translated to a field. Two teams are given ranks, hide their flag and try to capture the opponent's. When you meet an opponent, the rank decides who is out. It takes place in a wood, a park or on a fenced-off site.
Is this only for children, or for adult groups as well?
It works for both, but the details differ. For children's parties we keep rounds short and rules simple. For company outings and groups of friends we add tactics, longer rounds and a scoreboard across several games. Adults get more competitive than they expect.
How much space is needed?
For a life-size board game on the field we need a site where teams can spread out. A park, a wood or a large grass field is enough. A life-size Game of the Goose can be more compact and also fits on a square or in a large hall, because there the playing field is the route and not the battlefield.
What if it rains hard that day?
We discuss beforehand what we do in bad weather. A life-size Game of the Goose we can bring indoors. For the field versions we agree a back-up date. What we do in bad weather is set out in the quote, so you don't have to decide on the morning itself.
