Easter games for a spring day out
An egg hunt in the backyard is over almost as soon as it starts. Let's Tingo gives Easter a game that keeps going. You build a board of things to spot, everyone gets their own board from the same list, and the first to fill five in a row calls a Tingo.
Take it on a walk after Easter lunch, on the drive to the grandparents' or across the park, and it's an Easter scavenger hunt the whole family plays together. It sits alongside the egg hunt and the other Easter games you already play, not in place of them.
An Easter scavenger hunt that goes beyond the eggs
Pick a game type, tell Let's Tingo you're spending Easter weekend with the grandparents, and it builds a list of finds from that: an egg wreath on a door, a tulip bed, a robin on a lawn. Keep the ones you like, add the neighbor's giant inflatable bunny, and share the game.
In most games, finds are shared, so when anyone spots something, it shows up on every board that has it. If the little ones are in the backyard and the cousins are down the street, everyone sees what the others just found.
On the drive over, the kids can call out finds from the back seat, and the driver keeps their eyes on the road.
A spring scavenger hunt that lasts until May
You don't have to fit it all into one Sunday. Make it a timed game, set it to end on the last day of April, and every walk to school or trip to the park is another chance to find something. Whoever has the most Tingos when it ends wins.
Name a prize when you set it up, like the last chocolate egg in the basket, and everyone sees what they're playing for.
Easter games for teens
Teenagers who've outgrown the egg hunt can still play a board of their own with friends over spring break: the first cherry blossoms downtown, a pastel car, someone in an Easter bonnet. Pick a camera game and every find needs a photo. The photo stays with the find for the whole group to see, so the board ends up holding the best of the week.
Easter games for adults
Friends at Easter brunch, a couple on a spring weekend away, or neighbors out for a long walk after church can all play on a board built for the day. Make it a join-any-time game and it's live the moment the invites go out, so anyone who arrives late can join halfway through.

Get your Easter game ready
Build the board while the eggs are drying, and share it before everyone sits down to lunch. The same game works for a nature scavenger hunt on a spring hike, a neighborhood scavenger hunt on any walk around the block, and Thanksgiving games when the family's back together in the fall.
Joining a game is always free, in the app or in a browser. Plenty of games are free to make, too.
