Manhunt

Whoever gets caught joins the hunt

It starts with one or two hunters. It ends with everyone hunting except you. The curve gets steep fast, and that feeling when three people suddenly come around the same corner is exactly the point.

The rules

• –Goal: stay free until the end.
• –Every caught player becomes a hunter — the hunt keeps closing in.
• –Every so often, hidden players briefly light up. Just sitting still doesn't work.
• –Leave the zone: as a runner you count as caught, as a hunter everyone can see you.
• –Everyone has power-ups from the very start.

Catching: walk up and tag them. The caught player then shows their code, and the hunter scans it — just being nearby isn't enough.
