Hand of the Watchers

There is a problem amongst the Watchers. One of the six sentinels who keep the immortal realm from manipulating our everyday life has been replaced by an impostor. These sentinels watch for breaches in the Veil which prevents dangerous creatures from leaking through to us.

Your task, as a Hand of the Watchers, is to discover the false sentinel and report back. You must find and question the six, gain their trust, and puzzle out whose actions don't fit. This is your chance to make your mark amongst the Watchers. But beware – other Hands have been assigned the same task. To prove yourself, keep out of their sight, and try to identify them and catch them unawares.

The winner is the team who solves the puzzle the fastest, with the fewest points against them.

deerstalker

The year is 1733. Roguish villain Chick Turpin, notorious for deer thievery and highway robbery, has captured the Queen’s prize Stag. A hefty reward is offered for it’s safe return. Can you out-run Chick Turpin, rescue the stag, and recover hoards of stolen booty along the way?

This thrilling treasure hunt, tag team, relay race chase, casts players as 18th century villagers with good noses for hunting and an ability to run (almost) like the wind. But will village heroes become villainous crooks? The choice is yours, share the booty with your team, or head for the grand reward alone…

Pick me up, pass me around and one lucky person will get the prize.

The parcel has instructions that must be followed. Where will they lead you? Who will you meet along the way? And the question on everyone's lips.......who will win the surprise?

A re-work of Surpass the Parcel. Your chance to socialise and unwrap some new prizes.

We thought we would look at an old game and make it that bit tougher. Fancy an egg and spoon race but with space hoppers thrown into the mix?

Your chance to relive those sports day challenges.
