Flash Zone

Game Rules

1️⃣ Setup

• Players: 4+

• Materials Needed: 1 flashlight

• Location: Indoors (large house, basement) or outdoors (forest, garden, park)

• Define clear boundaries and forbidden zones for safety.

• One player becomes the Seeker, the only one with the flashlight. All other players are Hiders, who must hide and try to mislead the Seeker with sounds and misdirection.

2️⃣ Start of the Game

The Seeker counts to 30 while the Hiders go hide.Once the countdown ends, the Seeker loudly announces: “I’m coming!”

3️⃣ Limited Flashlight Use

• The Seeker has only 10 flashes to use in the entire round.

• Every time they turn on the light, they must loudly announce the flash number (e.g., “Flash 1!”).

• Each flash lasts for only 5 seconds, so use them wisely!

4️⃣ Capturing Players

• A player is captured if they are caught in the flashlight beam.

• To confirm the capture, the Seeker must call the correct name of the player (e.g., “Marie!”).

• If they name the wrong person, the player is allowed an immediate escape attempt in the dark!

5️⃣ Hiders Can Use Sound

• Hiders are allowed to make noise to mislead the Seeker.

• They can mimic voices or throw their voice for confusion.

• ⚠️ But be careful—too much movement may betray your location!

6️⃣ End of the Round

• If all players are caught before the 10th flash, the Seeker wins.

• If at least one Hider remains hidden after all 10 flashes are used, that Hider wins!

🏆 Game End and Victory

• If all players are caught → The Seeker wins

• If at least one survives → Remaining Hiders win

• Optional point system:

  • 3 points per surviving Hider

  • 1 point per captured player for the Seeker
