Monster Siege | Brendale
3 April, 2024 - 4 April, 2024
Free
Calling all kids! Let out your inner monster with a full day of adventure during the Easter school holidays at South Pine Sports Complex.
Get ready for a clash of epic proportions where kids unite in the ultimate battle of Monster Siege, a game of imagination, creativity, physicality, and strategy against their dastardly foes: the adults!
Defend magical rubber ducks from an onslaught of adult ‘Slobbers’ and band together with other kids in a quest to triumph.
Burst the slobbers by popping them with pool noodle arrows, make game plays from your garrisons and work together to protect your precious ducks from being kidnapped.
The leader of the adults, King Slobber, has a few tricks up his sleeve so you will need to work with each other and the Game Master to emerge victorious.
Prepare for a full day of monster adventures with heaps of free activities for kids and adults. Head along and:
- learn new tricks at the circus skills station
- test your skills in the mini bootcamp and make a custom medal
- create a pom-pom, banner or monster mask to get ready for the battle
- complete the art investigator challenge to win a prize
- create your monster look with face painting
- decorate a tote bag using a Cricut and Posca pens
- play with LEGO
- groove along to the house DJ.
