The hard part of a family day is not finding an activity, but finding one that the ten-year-old and the seventy-year-old both enjoy. This is one of those.

Family days tend to split a group automatically: the children run around, the parents talk, the grandparents watch. A game that is fun for the children bores everyone else — and the other way round.
Uitvossen solves that by dividing the tasks rather than the people. There is always someone reading the map, someone planning the route, someone doing the challenge and someone filming. The challenges are short and physical enough for children, while the hunt itself is a puzzle adults take seriously.
You also decide how large the play area is. Around a holiday park or a village centre it can stay small and calm; if your family is competitive, use a whole city.
One phone per team means the team stays together and the group sets the pace. Nobody has to move faster than they want to.
Build the teams mixed rather than by age. Children do the challenges, adults do the strategy — and suddenly they are talking to each other instead of past each other.
All the photos and clips from the day come together in a shareable recap with the map and the result. Perfect for dropping into the family group chat afterwards.
Children always play in a team with a phone, so never alone. You decide how small the play area is, and locations and photos are deleted automatically after the game.
Pick a small play area and a longer play time. The game rewards choosing well more than moving fast — foxes win more often with a good route than with speed.
The game supports more than two teams. How many you can create depends on the plan you choose; by default you play with two.
No, the map and location pings need internet. In areas with poor coverage you are better off choosing a smaller, more built-up play area.
