Want to create a birthday party made just for them?⭣

For children aged 4 to 6, the adventure takes place entirely outdoors.

We meet at an outdoor location chosen with you — your garden (if it’s large enough), a park, or a natural area close to home. A message arrives, a mission begins to take shape, and the group sets off on foot to explore the surroundings.

The birthday child and their friends don’t simply watch the adventure unfold. They play, search, create, move and make decisions that help drive the story forward.

Each experience is designed around the child’s age, interests and personality. This attention to each child reflects the same view of childhood that shapes our philosophy: creating an environment where everyone can take part, try things out and find their place.

Unicorns, pirates, dinosaurs, superheroes, princesses, mermaids, detectives, or a completely bespoke adventure: the chosen world becomes the guiding theme for the afternoon.

It’s never a fixed, one-size-fits-all programme applied to every group. The theme sets the direction, then we build a story around it, combining games, challenges, movement, creativity and discoveries tailored to the children taking part.

And if the world your child dreams of doesn’t exist yet, we can imagine it together.

Before the event, we talk with the family to understand what your child loves, the stories they enjoy telling, and how they would like to share this moment with their friends.

At a Hey Folks immersive birthday party, children aren’t just spectators. Every activity moves the story forward, and everyone can contribute in their own way.

• Some enjoy leading the mission and making decisions.
• Others prefer observing, building, inventing or solving a puzzle.
• Everyone discovers that the adventure becomes even richer when it’s shared.

Our team creates a lively pace without turning the experience into a competition. The goal isn’t to finish faster than everyone else, but to move a shared story forward in which every child can find their place.

What children remember after a birthday party isn’t just the decorations or the cake.

They remember the mysterious message they received at the start (our digital invitation is included in the base price), the challenge they thought was impossible, the idea they came up with together, the role they played, and the moment the whole story changed because of them.

It’s these little moments shared as a group that turn a celebration into a lasting memory.

The cake and presents then become an extension of the adventure, filled with laughter, stories and everything the children are already eager to tell.

A high-energy group, a quieter child, a garden or meadow made for running, a woodland setting that becomes the perfect backdrop for a mystery: every birthday has its own rhythm.

We prepare each experience with care, then adapt it to what actually happens on the day. An idea suggested by a child might open up a whole new direction. A challenge can be simplified, extended or transformed to keep the group engaged.

The weather, however, is not part of the story. As the birthday takes place entirely outdoors, we monitor the forecast in the days leading up to the event, call you, and decide together whether to go ahead or choose a new date.

It’s this flexibility that allows the experience to truly reflect the child at the heart of it.

After two hours of adventure, the story comes to an end and the group returns to the starting point. The children have completed their mission, solved the mystery, or made their way through the different stages created for them.

The final hour is then dedicated to cake, candles, presents and photos — outdoors, right where it all began. You take care of this part of the celebration, while the Hey Folks team stays with the group until 5:00 p.m.

The adventure doesn’t simply stop: it carries on around the table, through the stories, laughter and everything the children are already eager to share.

The cake, drinks, tableware and table decorations are organised by the family. The cake can also be ordered from one of the trusted partners we regularly work with.

Immersive birthday parties are available on Wednesdays and Sundays, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

We choose the location together. The first thing we look at isn’t the size of the space itself, but what surrounds it: woodland, a park, or a natural area that can be reached on foot with a group of young children.

The group sets off from there, experiences the story in the surrounding area, then returns to the same spot for cake time. You stay on site throughout the experience, without having to organise or lead any of the activities.

Ages 4 to 6 · Wednesdays and Sundays · 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Up to 10 children — CHF 450

Up to 14 children — CHF 650

Each package includes:

• the creation of a world inspired by your child’s interests;
• scouting the location and route with you;
• two hours of outdoor games, challenges and creative activities, led by one or two Hey Folks activity leaders depending on the size of the group;
• all the equipment needed for the activities;
• one hour on site for cake, presents and support with the group;
• a personalized digital invitation to send to the little guests.

The cake, drinks, tableware and decorations are provided by the family. If you wish, we can also arrange the cake through one of the trusted partners we regularly work with. The location and organisational details are agreed with you before the booking is fully confirmed.

Plan their immersive birthday adventure

1. What age is the immersive birthday party suitable for?

It is designed mainly for children aged 4 to 6. Around age 6, the choice between the immersive format and the adventure birthday party depends mainly on your child’s independence, interests and how they would like to celebrate.

2. Which days and times are available?

Immersive birthday parties take place on Wednesdays and Sundays, from 2 pm to 5 pm. Two hours are dedicated to the adventure, followed by an hour for cake and presents, with our team staying to help look after the group.

3. How many children can take part?

We offer two options to suit the size of your group: up to 10 children for CHF 450 with one activity leader, or up to 14 children for CHF 650 with two activity leaders. The birthday child is included in this number.

We have deliberately limited our birthday parties to a maximum of 14 children. This allows us to give each child individual attention, maintain a positive group atmosphere and deliver an engaging, smoothly run immersive experience.

4. Can we choose the theme?

Yes. Pirates, unicorns, dinosaurs, detectives or another world entirely: we choose the theme together with your family. It provides the starting point for a story and activities tailored to the children’s ages and the group.

5. Can you create a fully personalised world?

Yes. If your child has a particular passion or dreams of a world that is not yet among our suggestions, we will work with you to create an adventure that reflects their interests and imagination.

6. Where does the birthday party take place?

Outdoors, in a location we choose together: your garden if suitable, a park or a natural area close to home. As the children explore the surroundings on foot during the adventure, we pay particular attention to the immediate area, what it offers and its safety. We therefore always agree on the location with you before giving final confirmation of the date.

7. What happens if it rains?

As the birthday party takes place entirely outdoors, we do not go ahead in poor weather. We monitor the forecast in the days beforehand, call you and decide together whether to go ahead or arrange a new date.

8. What is the parents’ role during the afternoon?

The group sets off from the starting point, brings the story to life in the surrounding area, then returns to the same spot for cake. During those two hours, you stay at the starting point and relax: there is nothing for you to organise or supervise.

9. Are the cake and decorations included?

No. The family provides the cake, drinks, tableware and table decorations. If you wish, you can order a cake from one of our trusted partners. The final hour is included in the service, with the Hey Folks team on hand to help.

10. Who supervises the children?

The children are accompanied by the Hey Folks team, who look after their safety and well-being and make sure everyone feels included.

One Hey Folks activity leader supervises groups of up to 10 children, and two activity leaders supervise groups of up to 14. They prepare the imaginary world in advance, lead the adventure and stay with the group until 5 pm.

11. Can you accommodate additional needs or allergies?

Please share any relevant information in the form and during our follow-up conversation. We can then discuss any adjustments needed to the activities and the organisation of the afternoon.

12. How far do the children explore?

We stay within a maximum radius of one kilometre of the chosen location. The group explores the surroundings on foot, then returns to the same starting point for cake. The children stay close by, while having enough space from their parents to fully enjoy the adventure with their friends.

13. Do we need a garden to host an immersive birthday party?

No. A public park or an accessible natural area works perfectly well. We will help you choose a starting point.

14. How do we book?

Complete the birthday party form with your preferred date, your child’s age, the number of guests, your suggested location and your child’s interests. We will get back to you to check availability and finalise the experience.

Every child grows at their own pace. Around the age of 6, both formats can be a good fit: the choice depends above all on their independence, what they enjoy and how they want to share the experience with their friends.

Immersive birthday party

For children aged 4 to 6, the adventure takes place close to home: the group sets off on foot with the Hey Folks team for around two hours of exploration in the surrounding area, while you can simply wait for us to return. You then join us for the final part of the birthday celebration, dedicated to cake time.

Birthday adventure

From age 6 to 11, children meet the Hey Folks team at a designated starting point before heading off on a 4.5-hour adventure, in a small group and without their parents.
