Challenge Accepted!
With the GooseChase Scavenger Hunt, families complete fun challenges and race to win a prize together, all with the theme of supporting happy, healthy, active kids! Everyone who lives in the house is invited to play including older siblings, grown-ups, and even pets. Missions may include safety around water activities, active fun challenges, making healthy snacks, and engaging the entire neighborhood to brighten everyone's day.
