Hi
I went to a children's birthday party a year ago and they did an alternative to pass the parcel where there was a wooden rig that was set up in a tree and it was lowered and children grabbed a bag and in it had a sweet or a prize. It was very unique and the parents were not British so wondered if this was a well-known game in Europe. Can anyone help me identify the game and give advice on how to make and play?

What nationality were they? That might help to identify it 😁!

Was it a piñata?

no it was a version of pass the parcel

the parents were Portuguese and German

does this help? I have tried to google everything but no luck

Can’t you ask them?

No idea but this sounds like a fun game.

You could make your own version.

So dance and when the music stops you run to the place the treats are lowered in and grab one - if you can!

No being “out”. You’ve got to get there fast! Lower different numbers of bags at different points around the rig. And also make them dance in an area a distance away behind a line so they can’t dance under the rig!!!

Thanks so much for the idea. I will need help making this rig!!
