Your reactions to our inquiry:

Thank you all for your reactions. We have read very useful tips and questions to answer.

Your tips:

  • An activity which helps both children and parents to interact and get into contact with each other.
    We totally agree. We hoped it would happen at e.g. the gaming tables of White Goblin Games and in our game room. But it occurs to be nice to think of an activity. We already have an idea. We are working on it.

  • More experiments/ more 'do it yourself' has been mentioned a couple of times.
    This is always on our minds whilst planning the SpeelDagHB. Wheter or not we are succesful or not varies with each SpeelDagHB. In addition we also have variation in mind. During SpeelDagHB 1 we had Lapidarie Amathysta (the gentleman with the stones) on our schedule, during SpeelDagHB 2 we had De Jonge Onderzoekers and the 3Dprinter present, during SpeelDagHB 3 once again was Lapidarie Amathysta present, just like the 3Dprinter. If you have got tips for SpeelDagHB 4? We would love to hear them. Do you know someone who can help the children experiment? Please contact us!

  • A building activity, like Lego and Fantasy Forts was mentioned. We had both during SpeelDagHB 1.
    It was fun wasn' it?! During SpeelDagHB 4 we are able to present to you Hubelino. You will be able to build a marble track with these building blocks. An fun activity for children of all ages. We bet you not only the youngest children will enjoy these blocks, let us watch their parents as well... We hope to organise more of these building activities. If you know something that we do not. Please inform us!

  • The workshops ment for adults was highly appreciated.
    We are already looking for a follow up. 'This is a keeper.' 

  • An outdoors activity or something sporty.
    During SpeelDagHB 1 we did have more to do on the playground. We will evaluate SpeelDagHB 3 and deliberate while preparing SpeelDagHB 4. But at the same time we do realise SpeelDagHB 4 will take place in november.

Some general affairs:

  • You all agree on the entrance fees.
    The possibility to for register with a discount is agreable, the € 5,- for children is a fee you think well of. And you all have high regard for 'only the children pay for their entrance'. We as well like this set up of entrance fees. So it will stay the same. But, there is one remark though. Adults who come alone (without children) will pay for their entrance.

  • Like earlier exhibitions you came from all over the country.
    Grounds for uw to take SpeelDagHB to other cities. We are already working on it. Please wacht our website and Facebook. As soon as there is something to share, we will let you know. We are coming towards you!

  • In Amersfoort the SpeelDagHB has reached its limits, we will not grow any further.
    We completely agree, we do not want a massive event. This is why we have decided to maximize the tickets we are selling. The SpeelDagHB will not become more crowded than it has been during SpeelDagHB 3.
    In Amersfoort we will sell a maximum of 175 tickets in for register. At our register we will sell another 50 tickets. Which brings us to a possible total of 225 childrend and their parents whom can visit SpeelDagHB in Amersfoort.

There were questions about:

  • There was someone who asked for a quiet place.
    We completely agree. This is why, during each SpeelDagHB, we reserve the staffroom (upstairs) as a quiet place.

  • Someone asked for the demonstrationteam of White Goblin Games.
    The team was present during the central area next to our register, next to the sales booth of Denkspellen.nl and Papertrack.nl. We would love to host this team at our next SpeelDagHB.

  • One of our young visitors asked us about the inflatable..
    Obviously someone who was here during SpeelDagHB 1. After SpeelDagHB 1 we decided not to have another inflatable on a SpeelDagHB. It led to too much over-stimulation.

  • Extra costs at some workshops.
    The extra costs are allmost always to pay for material costs. For example your use of tools or maintenance. Because not all children visit these workshops it seems most honest to arrange pay-ment of these costs at the location of the workshops. If there are additional costs we always mention an estimate right besides the information about this workshop.
