Let's Start
If you are between the ages of 9 and 14, and love to play, The Game Of Village may be right up your alley.
In The Game of Village, you’ll join other children to create, design and build a Village in miniature… complete with miniature characters (Peeps) to live in the Village.
Your Peep can be anyone or thing you like, such as a pirate queen, computer whiz, rock star or skateboarder. All Peeps are welcome in the Village.
With your friends you’ll find the perfect place to build the Village… in the woods, by a stream, under an orchard or in a field. A village can pop up anywhere.
And of course your Peep will need a house. Your house can be of any design and made of any material – a castle, riverboat, teepee, tree house or cabin. It just will have to stand up to the rain and to squirrels. You’ll want your Peep to be comfortable.
In addition, there will be other activities, like games of capture the flag, swimming, singing, croquet, tag and more.
