In 2024, we will be hosting our annual Halloween Hunt on Saturday 26th October and we'd love you to come down and join us. We'll be handing out the instructions on the day between 10-3pm. It's self-guided and is all within the adventure park at Victoria park so you can take as long as you like to complete it.
As usual we will have 1 hunt that is perfect for those who aren't reading yet (although parental help will be needed for the instructions!) and another for those who can read and are happy to solve puzzles to work out the answers to complete the hunt.. We haven't announced the theme this year yet. Below shows the theme used in 2023.
Non-readers Hunt
In 2023, five monsters, inspired by the book "The Colour Monster" were dotted around the adventure playground area. Each had a sign with their favourite food on it. The kids crossed off the Monster and the food item off their paper. By finding each monster they had just one food item left - when they came back to the shop and told what it was they could choose a mini-chocolate bar from the treasure chest.
Puzzle-solvers Hunt
The same five monsters also had clues that required code breaking or solving to find out answers. They lead to a 5 digit number. This number was the code to a box of treats also held at the shop. If they kids could open the locked box , they chose a mini-chocolate bar.
It's free and it's fun - it's a way we say thank you for supporting this small local business. Dress up is definitely encouraged too!!
You can collect everything on Saturday 26th October from Escape Hatch Books, 9 Strathalbyn Street, East Kew
You can start whenever you want to between 10:00am and 3:00pm.
You need to bring a pen and a brain (so no zombies allowed).
Please leave the clues in place so people after you can enjoy the fun and respect others using the park..
