A FAMILIAR bunch of characters is coming to Reading for a new immersive experience.
The Smurfs are set to take to the streets as part of the town’s April Fools festivites for a great escape.
A unique outdoor scavenger hunt will take place around Reading as the Smurfs avoid the clutches of the evil wizard, Gargamel.
The capped cartoon characters will be present in an on-foot scramble lasting between two and three hours and featuring clues and challenges courtesy of Smurfette and Papa Smurf.
The experience can be started at any time during the day and unfolds through the dedicated CluedUpp app.
Teams of between two and six players are eligible, with just one ticket needed for each team, and children play as extra participants for free.
Prizes will be awarded for the fastest team, best Smurf-inspired fancy dress, best team picture, best team name, best mini player (for under 16s), and best dog photo.
The Smurfs: Great Escape will be available to play in central Reading via the CluedUpp app between 9am and 2pm on Saturday, April 1.
