During each show, contestants will be drawn from the audience and invited to compete in a range of wacky and wild mini-games that involve trivia, a dress-up race, bean bag toss and more.
How quickly can you pull on a pair of undies over your clothes? Are you a good throw with a beanbag? We hope so because the winning team will take home a prize pack, but the losing team gets slimed.

Hartleys Crocodile Adventures
Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures is the best place in Australia to see crocodiles up close in a safe & natural environment. Cruise our lagoon and enjoy jumping crocs plus watch our exciting and informative shows, including the famous Croc Attack show!
If you’ve not visited Hartley’s in a while, be sure to make time these School Holidays, you’ll be surprised at how much we have grown and upgraded, with many recently opened and refurbished attractions including our walk-through ‘Bird of Prey Aviary’ in our Cassowary Walk area. It is a wonderful opportunity for photographers as there are so many bird species including Kookaburras, Owls, Ibis, Curlews just to name a few. Once again folks, Hartley’s is famous for crocodiles, but there is much more to see and do, in a tranquil natural World Heritage setting.
