Mega Choice for Food and Drink - Experience Day Voucher

It’s fast, it’s furious, it’s creative, it’s witty and it’s a highly entertaining activity for all ages. In this race against the clock, you will need to use your thinking skills to solve a series of clues, scavenge a number of items, take some brilliantly creative snaps and win some great prizes! You can work in pairs or in a team of up to ten people.

Strategy and Clue Solving - After you have been briefed, you and your companions will head off with a treasure hunt pack filled with clues, riddles, maps and - of course - essential chocolate supplies. You will have to work together to set the strategy, solve the clues, plan the route and get the questions answered.

Scavenger Points and Photo Challenges - You will be given bags of chocolate coins, to ‘bribe’ your way to gathering the scavenger items. During the race, you will also need to keep your eyes peeled and wits about you to collect the photo bonus points. There will be lots of chances to get some great snaps, so everyone can get their pose on!

Prizes - The more clues you solve, the better the prize - but, whatever size the prize, everyone will leave with a bag of delicious Belgian chocolate to take home and enjoy.

Please note, this gift is for two people but the venue will require a group of 6 for the hunt to go ahead so you will be paired up with other treasure hunters. MyChocolate will give you as much notice as possible for any bookings that cannot go ahead due to lack of participants.

You will learn the history of wine, how vines are grown and pruned, how the grapes are selected and about the different stages of winemaking. You may even visit the caves where the wine is aged to understand the role temperature has to play in the ageing progress.

Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to sample and purchase a bottle if you would like to, before replenishing with your afternoon treat.
