faqs
Q: Is my basement enough space to run the activities?
A: Most basements are perfect. We just ask that you clear as much space as possible before we arrive!
Q: What types of games do you host?
A: We play games similar to the ones kids know from school gym class or summer camps. Examples are: Octopus, Fruit Basket, Relay Race, Human Knot, Bring Me, Clean Up Your Room etc. For smaller spaces, we're sticking to challenges like Cup Stack, Spaghetti Tower, Cookie Face, Card Sorting, Charades, Taboo, Guessing Games etc.
Q: When during the party should I schedule this?
A: Ideally at the beginning (just be sure to tell parents to be on time for the games). It's best done BEFORE eating or a few hours after
Q: I've got a mixture of ages, can we still do active games?
A: We'll touch base with you beforehand to discuss the majority age and your preferences. We usually prefer a maximum age range of 3 years so all children are adequately challenged and engaged.
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 7
Q: My child has a favourite game, do you take requests?
