Fugitive is a game that combines hide and seek, tag, and capture the flag.The cops and fugitives play a game.Both teams have different goals along the way, but they must work their way from point A to point B.The fugitives want to get to point B without being caught by a cop.As many fugitives as possible is the goal of the cops.The game can be played with a small or large group.
Step 1: There should be at least 4 or more people playing.
Each team needs an equal number of players.The fugitives and the cops will be split into two groups.You can divide people randomly, such as having them draw their role out of a hat or choose team captains and have them pick their team members at a time.The game is best for teens and adults as it involves traveling over a long distance and hiding.
Step 2: You can choose points A and B for the game.
Pick a point A and point B that the players can safely travel through to play Fugitive.The fugitives, drivers, and chasers will start at point A and travel towards point B.The winner of the game is the first to reach fugitive point B.If you are playing fugitive in your neighborhood, you could make your backyard the starting point and a local playground the end point.Before the game begins to specify what areas are and are not okay to travel through, you may want to set some ground rules.Don't play fugitive in areas with a lot of traffic.There are side roads and quiet streets in the residential areas.
Step 3: If the cops will chase fugitives in cars, designate drivers and chasers.
You will need to designate drivers and chasers if you decide to play the game with cars.The players are looking for fugitives.The chaser can get out of the car if they spot a fugitive.If the chaser tags the fugitive, they will have to get into the car with the driver.If you don't want to use cars, the cops could use bikes.
Step 4: Before the game starts, set a time limit.
It may be a good idea to set an official end time for the game since fugitive can go on for hours.All players have to meet at the end point.Without being caught by the cops, any fugitives who make it to the end point are safe.If the game starts at 8:00 pm, you can end it at 11:00 pm.
Step 5: If you are using cars, give the fugitives a head start.
If the players are divided into teams, have the cops close their eyes.Allow 5 minutes for the fugitives to start.If the cops are using cars, they can go quicker than the fugitives.If you don't want to use cars, the cops could use bikes.
Step 6: If the cops will be on foot, have them close their eyes and count to 100.
The fugitives won't need much of a head start if the cops are not using cars.Before they take off in pursuit of the fugitives, the cops should close their eyes and count to 100.
Step 7: Send the cops to chase the fugitives.
It is wise for the fugitives to use any path they want since it will help them hide from the cops.The fugitives may be pursued by the cops as well.A chaser can go after a fugitive if a cop sees them.If a chaser tags a fugitive, the person is out of the game and has to get into the car or walk with the cop.
Step 8: If they are caught, drop off fugitives at the end point.
If there is room in the car, the fugitives can ride with the drivers and chasers.The cops can drop off fugitives at the end point if the car is full or if they want to because they know they are out.
Step 9: Don't do anything that is illegal while you play.
Fugitives need to hide and run from the cops if they want to escape.It is important to stay safe while playing the game.If you want to reach the end point, don't vandalize anything.
Step 10: Wait and watch out for fugitives.
This is a good strategy for cops.If you suspect that fugitives may be in the area, park your car, turn off the lights, and wait.When you spot a fugitive, your chaser can go after them on foot.
Step 11: If you are a cop, catch as many fugitives as possible.
To become a fugitive cop, your goal is to prevent the fugitives from reaching the end point.Capture as many fugitives as possible and deliver them to the end point.You might want to keep a record of the number of fugitives you have caught.
Step 12: If you're a fugitive, make it to the end point first.
If you are playing the game as a fugitive, your goal is to get to the end point before anyone else.Even if you don't make it to the end point first, arriving without being caught will still mean that you are safe.Slowly move towards point B, finding more hiding places as you go.Once you are close enough, run as fast as you can and try to make it to point B without being tagged.
