Over a month ago now Energizer sent Ben, Chloe and Amy a fabulous parcel of goodies to help them have a secret garden adventure! Between illness, bad weather and generally having a really busy time of it, it took us absolutely ages to find an opportunity to get out together in the evening!
At the moment our own garden is something of a mud bath so we decided it would be more of an adventure to go to the local park. Equipped with our bespoke adventure map and a range of night-time investigating tools we set off to explore the secrets the park at night-time!
Our personalised map detailed four mini challenges for Ben, Chloe and Amy to complete with the help of their Energizer head torches and new Secret Life of Pets cuddly toys! Of course just being out at night was exciting in itself but the three of them were keen to follow the instructions on their map and see what they could discover.
The first challenge was to turn off our torches and look into the night sky to see what we could spot – unfortunately we’d picked a really cloudy night and couldn’t really see anything at all except for the glow of the moon.
Challenge number two was to estimate how many hops it would take for a bunny to cross the law and to do our own bunny impressions – the kids thought it was hilarious to have a hopping race across the park! They looked especially comical with their little headlamps bobbing around in the dark!
For our third task we were encouraged to use our adventure equipment to investigate under pebbles and leaves to see if we could find any creepy crawlies – despite our best efforts there was nobody to be found. We decided it was probably just a bit too cold!
Finally we used our “listening ears” to see if we could hear any nocturnal animals going about their business. Nope. Not a single sound. Just cars up on the main road.
So our Energizer Secret Garden Adventure Challenge, whilst lots of fun, didn’t reveal any secrets of nocturnal animals in our local area – except perhaps that they’re super good at hiding!
Energizer have teamed up with Secret Life of Pets to give you the chance to win a plush toy for your own secret adventures at home – just pick up a special promo pack from major participating retailers.
Probably goes upstairs and roams around
I don’t have any pets at the moment 🙂 x
mine probably sleep
My mums cat is too lazy to get up to much, perhaps a mooch through the cupboards to look for his biscuits!
They probably sneak upstairs and sleep on the beds.
I think they sleep mainly, they are very rarely home alone
I’ve got 4 dogs but they’re all really old now so they probably just sleep when there’s no-one around.
The cats do pretty much what they do when I’m at home – sleep.
they probably get on the furniture and bed to sleep
My cat is a monkey, I think he probably climbs all the worktops and drinks from the tap when Im not there
I know what my pet rats get up to – they chew up the inside of my sofa and make nests inside then hide all the treasures they find in the lounge in there!
i think mine throw a slumber party, as i get home and they are asleep on my bed.then when they see me they disappear
My cat runs round with a duster and vacuum – oh no that is just in my dreams
Haha wouldn’t that be ace though!
running all over the house
Getting on the couch is one, she knows shes not allowed, also she sneaks into the bedroom
I don’t have a pet anymore, but I’m pretty sure my mum’s car would’ve been up and watching the TV could she work the remote lol
We don’t have any pets at the moment.
Definitely barking at every dog that passes by the window!
I know my cat attacks things throughout the day when I’m out – she leaves the destruction trail for me to find!
Rolling on the bed, looking out the window, and pretending they are king of all they survey!
my puppy Sasha steals bags and chews the zips off them. She also hides tomatoes around the flat!
I don’t have a pet unfortunately 🙁 (soon hopefully!)
I expect my cat just spends the time sleeping when we aren’t home since he can’t get much when we are there.
My cat is so lazy that he probably just sleeps all day, maybe on the beds where he’s not allowed though.
based on the state of the house – CAMPING, using all the sofa cushions!!!
my dog gets upto anything she possibly can!
I imagine all that mine do are sleep lol
Sadly there is often evidence!!!! cushions on floor, maybe a small tear in the curtains
they most probably have a bark off with the neighbours dogs.. then sleep
Finding things to hide under cushions and poking her head out of the cat flap
Knowing my peps sleeping and farting ha ha xx
Not a lot – my dog Lizzie just sits on the back of the sofa and watches the world go by. She is rarely left though as my partner is at home most of the day .
I’ve videoed my dogs when I’ve been out and they pull their blankets out their beds and drag each other around the kitchen
Haha I bet that’s hilarious!
I only have fish so I’m sure they just swim around in their pond!
My cat is so lazy, I’m sure all she gets up to is rolling over!
i imagine they raid the house for lots of treats
Who knows, prob.runs the local cat neighbourhood watch meetings lol
That would be genius!
Great little post. Recommend if you can doing a camp out. Gives you longer to find wildlife that you’ll hear once you’re not moving around so much.
The state of my house when I get back – God only knows!
i think mine would raid the fridge!
I do not have any pets but if I did I am sure they would enjoy watching cartoons on Netflix
I imagine my dog likes to climb all over the furniture and beds and hide anything useful like phones, remotes and slippers.
We have chickens and I suspect they try acrobatics when we are not around
Probably scatching the life out of the furniture, that’s why I dont have pets yet until I retire lol
Watching lots of television whilst raiding the sweetie drawer.
Mine definitely mess with my wool, take books from my bookshelf and don’t replace them. Leave ironing everywhere, mess with the dishes putting them all in the sink … how else to explain my messy house!
I think my little Bichon sits watching the world and everybody go by the front window…he talks to them all in his own way – I often wonder how many of them answer him back and if he’s surprised when they do!? 😉
I suspected she just crys then goes to sleep, she’s a Yorkshire terrier hates being left alone x
Looking around for food and barking at the postman.
I think my cats like exploring the bathroom and the toilet when i am not there
I think they sneak upstairs and sleep on our beds, as they are not normally allowed to!
A walk around our local park to see all the ghosts and ghouls coming out

Our cat seeks out any clean washing and goes to sleep in it.
Well the cat fur on the kitchen worktops is a giveaway that once we’re in bed they take advantage and explore places they usually aren’t allowed.
We don’t have any pets now, I know the cat used to go on the kitchen worktop because he ate my sandwiches once, or he knocked them on the floor and the dog ate them
I think the out dog sleeps on my bed and eats LOL
Judging by that state of the place when I get back from work, I dread to think what they get up to
I’m sure mine get up to lots of mischief!
Climbing the curtains
I reckon my cats definitely raid the biscuit tin 🙂
I think my cats are secret ninja spies, heading out to solve mysteries and catch criminals haha
I think my cat, Pigeon, puts on some death metal at the first opportunity she gets and headbangs, whilst my other cat, Ninja, is telling her to quit it because he’s trying to sleep! 😀
My cats are naughty and like to try and gobble up any trace of food that might be around the house.
I would love to think my dog has adventures but I suspect he just snoozes a lot
I have the worlds laziest greyhound who spend all day sleeping! I think he just goes round dribbling on as many cushions as he can before I get back home!
I am not sure at all but would love to know
I’m pretty sure my collie has a good old snooze on the sofa!
With 4 cats, 2 snakes and a dog I am sure they get up to all sorts of mischief – I am pretty sure they work together to open treat packets for a start
I think they throw parties due to the amount of mess they make!
I think they sit in my chair when I am out, as not allowed on the chairs and sofa
All my cat does is eat and sleep I very much doubt she has any adventures, she is one lazy pussy cat x
I think our cat gets up to all sorts of mischief! She is a very naughty cat!
our dogs ted and benson like to be on guard and sit by the window waiting for us to return home
Go out and catch mice together
my 3 naughty spaniels have been caught out many times having adventures in our home,more recently they know how to open their door on their crate and open my kitchen door and door handle quite easily and then going into my living room and making their very own spaniel den buy putting all the cushions off the sofas and hiding under them
Exploring my shoes, bags and coats 🙂
Probably run around the house like mad.
Probably sneaks into the bedrooms and makes themselves comfy on the beds xx
sleep all day
Our cats are bonkers so it would be something daft! I’m sure they would probably sit in the bath with no water in it and climb curtains and jump off…..Well ziggy would. Stardust would probably not move as she is the laziest cat in the world lol! x
I have Chickens and I’m pretty sure they are trained to escape and return to they coup without us knowing.
I think they go and hang out with all the other pets on the street and have a street party 😀
Probably having a party 😉 or eating things that shouldn’t be eaten!
My dog is getting old now but I do tend to put throws on the sofa as sometimes he likes to roll around , gamboll all over it and act like a puppy. When I am out he probably sleeps ( he has the parrot to keep an eye out for him even though he more sillier than the dog ).
I think they jump around on the sofas because the cushions have always moved!!??
I think they’d team up and raid the cupboards!
I think that my dog bounces off the sofas and plays with her ball when I’m not around.
We dont have pets but if we did I think they would probably be the leaders of the gang gathering together all of the other animals and leading the streets 😉
we have come home to the rugs in the kitchen all messed up; it looked like they had been playing under them! I am sure they go into places they are not allowed to.
My cats like running up and down the room judging my the state of the rug and sofa when we get home lol x
Sleeping on the sofa!
mostly sleeping lol
Never seen this film
i think they got on the kitchen sides because theyre not allowed normally
I’m sure my dog rubs her butt on my pillow as I won’t let her in the bed!
run around like mad and eat all the meat!
Probably sleeping and scaring the postman! : )
