Читать книгу Montegue Blister’s Strange Games: and other odd things to do with your time - Alan Down - Страница 36

Dragging uncooperative children around the supermarket is hell at the best of times. Heinz and Seek is the perfect game that is guaranteed to keep squalling siblings entertained all the way from the cheese counter to the checkout.

Very simply, one parent enters the supermarket first and moves an item (one that is easily recognisable by all players—such as a branded tin of baked beans, packet of crisps, etc.). The item must now be placed somewhere else in the store, in an incongruous place but at a reasonable height for all the players to find.

The rest of the family then go into the store and are told what the product is that they are looking for. Whilst shopping, the seeking players must find the moved item before reaching the checkout.

Obviously this is not a game that you would want all the shoppers in the supermarket to play simultaneously, otherwise it would turn food shopping into a totally random experience.
