HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDNothing
  1. 1Split into two teams facing each other, with a home line behind each team.
  2. 2Teams secretly choose rock, paper, or scissors and reveal together.
  3. 3The winning team chases; anyone tagged before reaching their home line joins the winning team.
  4. 4Reset at the center and reveal again. The round ends when everyone is on one team, or after a time limit with the larger team winning.

REMIX THE RULES

Complete twists.

Best-of-three launchTeams remain at the center and repeat rock-paper-scissors until one team has won two decisive reveals; tied reveals do not count. The first team to reach two wins earns the chase, and only then do both teams run toward the losing team’s home line. Tagged players join the winning team, everyone resets at center, and the game ends when one team contains every player or time expires.
