Follow Alice as she chases the White Rabbit down the rabbit hole. Help them find all the forgotten pieces of a party puzzle and earn an Easter surprise.

The Queen of Hearts is coming to Merchant Square and she’s bringing some of your favourite characters. Join her and a playful playing card for a spot of flamingo croquet on the lawn…just don’t forget your hedgehog.
