Best Answer

The afikoman is a piece of matzoh that is set aside for the end of the seder meal. In order to keep the children awake at the seder meal which is held late into the night, many have a custom of hiding the afikoman-matzoh and letting the children search for it, and giving a prize to whoever finds it. In other families, it is the children who hide the afikomen who then 'ransom' it from the head of the table.

The word afikomen itself means dessert. This practice was added to the Seder in in the Middle Ages.
