Setting Up

1. Select an area appropriate for the number of players. A quarter of an acre per player is a practical guide.

2. Establish boundaries.

3. Establish a signal for the hunt to begin - car horn, air horn, or loud yell.

4. Choose whether you wish to start with a single hunter or two or three hunters for a large group.

5. Choose a time delay for players to hide before the hunt begins.

6. Select a method for tagging players. Either the hunter tags players or just calls out their names and hiding places.

Playing the Game

7. Give all hunted players a set amount of time to run and hide.

8. Signal the start of the hunt.

9. Begin searching the area if you are a hunter.

10. Become a new hunter if you are found.

11. End the game when all hidden players have been found.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep moving instead of hiding in one place.
• Don't hide in groups or let others know your hiding spots. Newly tagged hunters will check known hiding places first.
• Wear dark or camouflage clothing and good running shoes.
• At night, allow the hunter to carry a flashlight and tag people with the flashlight beam.
• Avoid hiding inside buildings unless they are open barns or the like.
• The last player found becomes the first hunter in the next game.
• Avoid dark areas with cliffs, drop-offs, broken glass or traffic.

on 4/21/2009 We used to play this game in my suburban neighborhood as a kid. A few variations: we would tackle people to signal them captured

on 4/15/2009 come to think of it this happened to me when I was a kid. Except the other kids were trying to kick my arse for beating up his little bro, so he got the entire complex of kid to get. I had to sneak back to my house. only to get sent to the store. I manage to get back home safely. But that was really scary though. :I
