Hit and Run

Hide-and-Seek Reinvented with a Ball!

Hit and Run is a dynamic and strategic version of traditional hide-and-seek, where speed and clever thinking are just as important as stealth! One player must hunt, guard, and anticipate while the others try to hide and free their teammates using a ball.

A football lies on the ground while people run in all directions trying to catch it.

How to Play

1️⃣ Game StartThe Hunter covers their eyes and counts to 30 while the other players hide.The ball remains untouched at its initial position.

2️⃣ Hunter Begins the ChaseOnce the countdown ends, the Hunter starts looking for hidden players.When spotting someone, the Hunter must run back to the ball, touch it, and shout the player’s name.That player is then “captured” and must go to the capture zone near the ball.

3️⃣ How to Free Captured PlayersTo free teammates, a Runner must sneak up to the ball and kick it once (without moving it first).If successful, all captured players are instantly freed and must hide again.If the kick is weak or the ball hits an obstacle, the Hunter can quickly retrieve it and block any new hiding attempts.The ball must be returned to its original position before the Hunter resumes chasing.

4️⃣ Hunter's StrategyThe Hunter must balance searching for players and guarding the ball.They can move between hiding spots and the ball to anticipate rescue attempts.

5️⃣ End of a RoundIf the Hunter manages to capture all players before they’re freed, they win the round.The first player caught becomes the new Hunter for the next round.If a rescue happens, the game continues until all players are eventually caught.


Fun Variations

🎭 Double Hunter Mode:If after 10 minutes the Hunter hasn’t caught everyone, one of the captured players becomes a second Hunter.

🎯 Precision Strike Mode:To free teammates, the kicked ball must hit a target (e.g., an object or pass between two cones).

🕶️ Stealth Mode:Players can only kick the ball if the Hunter hasn’t seen them beforehand.


Victory Conditions

If the Hunter captures all players without any rescue happening → they win! 🎉Otherwise, the first player captured becomes the next Hunter.
