Purdys Chocolatier is celebrating Easter festivities with its latest family-friendly activity, "Where's Philbert?" The game revolves around a stuffed hedgehog named Philbert, who mysteriously moves to a new hiding spot in the house every night, courtesy of parents or guardians. Children will wake up each morning eager to search for Philbert, discovering him in amusing situations and with chocolate surprises for the whole family.
Philbert also keeps a watchful eye on families, promising to reward good behaviour with Purdys chocolate on Easter morning. Julia Cho, Director of Marketing at Purdys Chocolatier recently spoke about the new activity, which aims to blend the brand's artisan chocolate and family time. Cho also shared that families can post their favourite Philbert adventures on social media channels this spring.
For those eager to join in the fun, Philbert is available for purchase directly from Purdys Chocolatier's website.
