Children's Easter Scavenger Hunt

The Fat Big Quiz 2020.jpg

Description

The scavenger hunt with a chocolatey twist! Explore the hidden Easter eggs London has to offer, while competing against other teams. On top of our Hyde Park scavenger hunt, all our seasonal scavenger hunts involve an additional list of seasonal challenges, as well the option to play in a seasonal themed game.


Our Children’s scavenger hunt series takes components from both your classic, and theatrical scavenger hunt’s to make them an engaging, entertaining and magical experience, tailored towards ages 4-12. (For older children, we believe our adult scavenger hunts are more suited). The routes for our Children’s experiences are typically built around safe spaces, such as royal parks, or on private land, to lower risk, and the routes are shorter ranging 0.5 to 2km in distance. 


The tasks and challenges are deliberately less cryptic than our adult games; however, we have layered some of them using word play, to keep the adults entertained as well.  Each game is accompanied by an in character host, with an additional game built their personality. Our Easter game is accompanied by the Easter Bunny, who can be found planting Eggs around the park. Will you be able to find enough eggs, to work out the answer to the Easter Bunnies puzzle? If you can, you'll be rewarded with treats and treasures for your efforts!


How does it work?

Once you've enquired through our website, you will receive a product brochure, which outlines our different games and packages. Once you've confirmed your game, group size, location, event time/date, and the package you'd like to purchase, we will send you an invoice/payment link to confirm your booking, and an event organiser checklist.


The event organiser checklist includes a link to our bespoke questionnaire. Once you've filled in our bespoke questionnaire, you will receive an instruction email, with all the details about your game, as well as a draft copy of your bespoke game hands outs.


Once you've signed-off on your game, we send it for printing, and look forward to seeing you on game day.


On Game Day

We can meet at either a public meeting point located at the beginning of our game routes, or at a private venue such as a bar/pub or office space. Once the event begins we play an icebreaker game to divide players into teams, then we present each team with your bespoke handouts. Teams will need to assign a team captain, who will be required to sign-in through Google to access the game. Their phone will be responsible for submitting all your team's photos and videos as evidence that you've completed various tasks and challenges. Once the team captains have signed-in they will be required to complete a practice section, which includes the task "Take a team selfie", as well as a text box to assign your team a name. We will award the best team name an extra 5 points.


Once the practice section has been submitted, players will be familiar with the technology and ready to start the game. Before we begin we will run through the rules, FAQ's and answer any questions. Then teams will have a set amount of time (defined by your before game day), to work out how they're going to earn the most points, and be crowned BucketRace champions.

When individual teams arrive at the designated finish line, any additional services will be handed out to players, such as medals and experience photos. Once all the teams have arrived, a selection of tasks and challenges will be showcased to the group on either an iPad or big screen (depending on the finish location), and then we will hand out trophies for the most creative and funniest team. Then we run backwards from the lowest scoring team to the highest scoring team, and hand out trophies for 3rd, 2nd and 1st place. Once the game has ended all the team captains will receive a follow up email with the scores, and all the tasks/challenges that have been submitted on the day.

What you'll need

We advise having x1 smart devices per team.


Rules

1. Teams must stick together at all times 

2. Each photo should include the whole team; however, one member can be excluded if they’re taking the photo/video 

3. Tasks are divided into Miscellaneous, Bespoke and Location catergories 

4. Location tasks are mutually exclusive. You cannot score tasks within multiple locations 

5. Tasks must be submitted before the end of BucketRace to be counted 

6. For late arrival to the finish, teams loose 150 points every 5 minutes 

7. Any team more than 15 minutes late will loose all their points 8. Any teams caught cheating will be disqualified 

9, Teams with the most points at the end of BucketRace wins 


Scoring 

Each task carries a specific amount of points based on its difficulty, location and BucketRace classification (e.g. location, miscellaneous, bespoke or bonus). The location tasks score the least; however completing enough of them unlocks a hefty bonus. Miscellaneous tasks score more points, but they don’t offer any bonus incentive. So choose wisely! It’s worth noting that most of the BucketRace location tasks have been written in order of the quickest route. The exceptions are the final few tasks within each section, which have been chosen to fit the culture of each area and can be performed anywhere within that location. 


Task Examples 

Location: Find a taxi serving coffee in (Shoreditch) | Find the giant Dragon in (Camden) | Build a human pyramid in (Hyde Park) Miscellaneous: Serenade a stranger | Build a leaning tower of pizza | Share your last Rolo with a stranger Bespoke: Spell out your Company Name in large letters | Locate a notable alumni | Find the backronym of I.T. written down On The Day
