Snipe Hunt: An Indoor/Outdoor Hide & Seek Game

This "indoor/outdoor hide and seek" game puts a fun twist on the traditional (and maybe not-so-fun) Snipe Hunt. The game consists of two actual Snipes, one green and one red, which reside in a green plastic nest. These cute little pointy-snouted, four-legged creatures are, according to the box, a morph between a Snipe bird and a Pine Martin. Game play is simple and can be enjoyed by two teams or two people. Players initially decide on a general area to hide their Snipes, and a location for the nest as well. Each team will then hide their Snipe and meet back at the nest. Then it's an all-out mad race to find the other team's Snipe! While the idea of locating a 4" animal in say, a yard, sounds challenging, the Snipes help you out. After two and a half minutes away from the nest, the Snipes start to chirp and after five minutes, the eyes light up (a huge help for late games!). The first team to find the opposing team's Snipe and return it to the nest (where it will stop chirping) wins the game. Simple, active, and easy for all ages to play, this is a great game for outdoor parties, or use it indoors when cabin fever strikes! Requires 4 AA batteries, included.
