we had a great game of dark hide and seek this evening. after our guests had gone, we took it in turns to play hide and seek in the living room. the added fun part was that we turned off all the lights making the room completely dark.

we started off with the finders using a torch (always fun with kids), but then when that got too easy and our eyes got used to the dark we played it completely dark.

esther and kezia (and jane and I) loved it. a highly recommended game for anyone with a dark house (with or without kids)

you may have been playing this time for all we knew.

the best bit of the game is that you have fun whilst saving electricity.

therefore, it's a game which pays you to play

It's only fun searching for people with a torch if you have some assurance that at the end of the night they'll be trapped in a burning windmill.

Pitchforks help, too.
