A very addictive game designed by our good friends at GASP.
This little app is free and well worth a download, it’s far more fun (and less annoying) than the angry birds one.
Congratulations all of you at Gasp - and maybe soon we will have a Quest Overseas app....!

It was great to see so many of you at the ball last Sunday. We hope that you all had a great night and that the morning after was not too painful.
Thank you all again for your hard work.
So to start with here is the winning video from The Kenya team.
We will blog a new one each day till Christmas.
Wishing you all a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

No one could doubt that 2011 has been an eventful year in global events - with the ‘Arab Spring' spreading from Tunisia across North Africa and the Middle East, the killing of Osama bin Laden, News International, and deepening economic woes with the Eurozone Crisis.
Here at Quest Overseas, it's also been eventful, if on a slightly smaller scale! We've seen the sand dam cement mixing record broken in Kenya, bones broken in Bolivia, Snow White & the Seven dwarves glimpsed at Machu Picchu, not to mention the first Quest team to reach the summit of Kilimanjaro...
Our Annual Reunion Ball with tales and photos from 2011 is coming up this Sunday, but the clever folks at the Guardian have unfortunately beaten us to marking the year's happenings in the best way we've possibly ever seen ... in Lego!!
Why not make your own Lego scene from your project and we'll stick it up on our Facebook page for the world to admire?
Who fancies heading out on the East African Expedition next year to spot a cartload of chimpanzees, a bloat of hippos, a crash of rhinos or even a coalition of cheetahs? Or perhaps South America sounds more enticing with its posses of vicuna and shadows of jaguars...

Some of the best are above and can be experienced first hand on Quest's East African and Andean Expeditions....a few other choice finds are below...!
