Download our Easter Hunts for Families

OVERVIEW: Operation Egghead was so popular we had to create a follow up, Operation Egghead II with new and exciting challenges. This game is not your traditional Easter egg hunt. It includes a variety of exciting activities for all ages to keep everyone involved. There are team challenges, mystery challenges, puzzles to solve, and of course a SCAVENGER HUNT loaded with surprises!

WOW, for the first time in a while I got to see everyone in the family enjoy a game together. Trust me it isn't easy getting 20 people to play together and have fun at the same time. But you know what, this Easter hunt did that for us. We got to the location and everything was setup, from the teams, to the activities and all of a sudden we were off on the hunt. The great thing about this hunt is that it got the competitive juices flowing, mainly because the variety of activities were challenging and at the same time a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed the “secret puzzle” challenge. We were given very specific clues and locations, we had to go and find hidden eggs containing the puzzle pieces and then solve the secret identities. Then came the egg roll game which was a blast. The best part of the day was at the end, where every team had to setup a parade using items we collected or made during the game. If you are looking for a fun way to spice up your Easter celebration I strongly recommend this game for you to try out. Sincerely, Dominic Bouchard, Belle River, Canada. More testimonials.
