Animal Mayhem was created by Silke and Tanya on the way to the Lost & Found Hide and Seek 2008 party.
Can you get the chicken to teach the penguin how to fly, or make the cat and the bee perform an Irish jig? Who will win the slow-motion race between the pig, the dog and the hedgehog? How will you persuade the octopus to tickle the sheep?! The mission for players is to round up other 'animals' and convince them to do their Animal Mayhem challenges while the Zoo Paparazzi capture the silliness. Players who successfully fulfill their challenges will be rewarded with stars and those with the most stars at the end of the game will win special animal-related prizes!
The game was playtested at the Lost & Found party on 28th June 2008 and at two Sandpit events, a smaller-scale Sandpit on the 26th of July 2008, at Stoke Newington International Airport's Duty Free and at Sandpit #9 which took place on Saturday 7th March 2009 at the Barbican as part of their Do Something Different weekend.

The game was also run at the Hide and Seek Weekender 2009 on the Family Sunday, which meant adults and kids all played successfully together.
