But the real party was this past weekend. We had about 12 kids join us for Simon's robot party at a space called The Moonpaper Tent. They do custom themed parties, and really went all out for our 5 year old robot boy! They had the kids dress up, choosing their costumes from all kinds of cool options, did some facepainting, and then the adventure began. Two people led the kids through an immersive experience, inviting them to shape the story by doing things like choose their robot names and super powers and power moves.
They spent an hour running all over the place, traveling to "Moontropolis" in order to find all of the energon crystals. Part of their adventure was creating a craft, they all had to make their own "gadget" to help with their energon hunt.
We had coordinated with them ahead of time to include details that Simon usually mentions when he pretends to be a robot, and he was so into it!
Once the robot adventure was over, we had some snacks and then cupcakes! The kids got to take home bags of treasure that the venue put together for them, plus the robot rings from the cupcakes. Overall, we had a great time with Simon and his robot friends!
