A collection of simple family games to play during Easter (or whenever you crave some egg hunting).
Easter Eggventures
This is the overview page of this game collection. Click any of the links to visit a specific game. They are usually sorted based on simplicity (easy → hard).
The games are all completely unique. They don’t share material or rules, and aren’t just minor variations of the same idea.
What do they have in common?
- Themed around Easter. (Usually the idea of an egg hunt with some twists.)
- Extremely simple rules for easy play with family or parent-kids. (They are mostly meant as a way to spent a holiday together, possibly with non-gamers.)
- Completely playable by printing its material PDF and cutting the cards/tiles. (Nothing else needed.)
As always, I design the rules for the base game to be dead simple. This does mean that you should look to the variants and expansions to add more depth and challenge to the games. It’s usually a good idea to start introducing those extra elements after your first few games, once everyone is familiar.
Background
For years now, I’ve tried to develop a new game for major holidays to play with the family. I had never done an Easter game before, however, which is why I initially struggled. After leaving the project for a few months and coming back with fresh eyes, my brain had apparently continued thinking about this problem.
Now I had five ideas for Easter games! And all of these did feel promising!
I couldn’t decide which one to make, so I decided to just try all of them. And, well, when I start something, I want to do it properly and finish it. So all the ideas were developed and turned into professional games.
I briefly considered sharing more material between games, but the games were too different to accomplish that. Instead, they only share parts of the visual design: fonts, color schemes, egg illustrations.
For more information, as always, read my detailed developer diary on Pandaqi Blog.

You can hire me! Maybe you need a special board game or video game for a birthday or educational purpose? I'm also open to inquiries about physically publishing my games. I am a registered freelance artist from the Netherlands and you can contact me professionally through my portfolio.
If unsure, visit my Online Store. It contains everything I ever made. Though it focuses on playful education and activities for children/family, first and foremost.
Another great way to support me is to simply let me know what you think! Mail me at harmonize@pandaqi.com with any feedback.
Alternatives would be to buy my paid work (a win-win situation!) or to donate through the most popular channels (see buttons below).
