Hoppy Easter

A traditional game re-invention challenge

How might you re-invent the Easter Egg Hunt?

Could you create an Easter egg hunt without chocolate eggs? Or, perhaps for a family living far away from each other playing over Zoom? What does your new game look like and how will people play?

If you didn't have any chocolate or eggs - what might you hide? Could you make something?
What if you only had one room, what would you do? Make a miniature hunt?
What if you weren't looking for eggs but tracking the Easter bunny? What clues might you create? Bunny poo? Paw prints?
Could you make a hunt for someone to play over Facetime / Houseparty / Zoom?
What if you weren't allowed to use your eyes to find the hidden objects? What if you could only use your sense of smell?
What if you were looking for pieces of a puzzle?
