But what is it exactly?
To celebrate being the official treat provider to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Cadbury has created Spots v Stripes – the biggest, longest, most fun game ever.
Remember a time when all you did was play games? British Bulldog, Keepy Uppy, Hop Scotch, Marbles, Hide & Seek…When the only structure to your 
day was when your mum called you in for your tea? Spots v Stripes has been created to roll back the years and re-introduce everyone to the fun of playing team games.
Anybody can play, at any time, with anyone. Cadbury will be inviting the nation to divide into two teams – the Spots and the Stripes, and to participate all you need to do is join one of the teams, sign up on the website and begin playing games. Any game will count – from kiss chase (big in my day) to eye-spy, arm wrestling to shoe golf; as long as you can score a point, you can play it.
Join our play professors for a two-day city event of the most smile-worthy, giggle inducing, silly billy games you'll have played since your formative years! From Thumb Wrestling to Eyeball (a test of your balance and determination) to Slide Dunk (a cunning twist on basketball), there are more games than you can shake a pooh stick at…
