The Fox Hunt History in a Nutshell
Now, before we dive into the fun, a quick history lesson (stick with us – it’s short, we promise).
As you may know, the traditional British fox hunt involved horses, dogs, and the chase of a poor little fox.
That’s it. We did say it was short.
Luckily, in our enlightened times, hunting real foxes is off the table, and for all the good reasons.
But who says we can’t have fun with the concept of the chase?
Game Roles
- The Fox – The groom-to-be is the fox. Whether they’ll do an orange feather boa and set “What does the fox say” as their ringtone is up to them, but they must try and at least resemble a fox. This adult fox costume should do the trick.
- The Hunters – The rest of the party? They’re the hunters. We’re talking goofy red-coloured outfits, inflatable horses, and whatever else you can find to make the groom run really fast in the opposite direction. These hunter costumes are a great place to start.
- The Hound – The best man is the hound. Yep, don’t think you’re getting off scot-free. Get your dog outfit here.
About the Game
- The Battlefield – This is where the hunt will take place. We recommend a city/town with plenty of
pubsholes to hide in. - The Getaway – Here’s the objective: the fox (stag) will be given a head start. He will have to run off and avoid being caught for as long as possible. Pitching up in a bar is always a great option, but make sure the bar is OK with you in fancy dress.
- The Chase – Once the groom’s hiding time is up, sound the horns and let the hunt begin! Whether you put a time limit on it or you just keep looking until the groom is found is completely up to you.
The Rules
- No Rough Play: Remember, it’s all in good fun. No tackling, tripping, or playing dirty.
- Respect: Don’t be a rowdy crowd. Especially if you’re in a residential area, you must behave in an acceptable way and not offend the locals.
- Dress for Success: Dress for the most laughs. The funnier the outfit, the better the memories!
The After-Party
Once the chase is over (and the fox is either caught or has successfully evaded their merry band of hunters), it’s time to celebrate!
Share the funniest moments of the chase and give out award prizes (in the form of beers) for ‘Best Hunter’, ‘Most Dramatic Fall’, ‘Best Dressed’, etc.
