You stole the idea from me! The name is mine, the idea is mine! Look at my instructable! It's made before yours by a good amount!

I am definitely not the creator of this game, but mine was actually published before yours by a couple months, mine was july 13th and yours was november 1st, plus they seem to be different games, besides the basic concept and the name

Who wants me to post my ninja tag instructable? You use wooden ninja swords and rubber shuriken to play tag at night. I will make a instructable with rules.

Yes, The reaper is unaffected by flashlights until there are 5 of them on him at once

this game seems awesome I will definitely get it started as a trend if you want me too. I'm sure if we play it at summer camp it will spread.

I have played something similar, no monsters though. Also the only way to free someone is with two people 'tagging' (not with light but a physical touch) the dead/jailed person. Then you had your leader person who was identified prior to starting the game. Only leader could kill a leader (I had watched too much Highlander when I thought of it) but if a normal player light-tagged them, then they had to count down from 15. While counting, they could not tag anyone or be tagged, it's like a limbo state. The games I did had around 50-75 people and we were in a park. We use the football goals as the jail. People could use camo or any type of outfit to hide themselves with. However the game does get a lot more interesting when it's at a college campus and everyone is drunk or tipsy.*

oh, that's cool, it is a lot of fun

Neat. Sounds like fun.

bubbaflamm says: Jul 24, 2008. 5:41 PM

Could you explain the roll of the monsters a bit more? do they have a jail? what do you mean 4 people but only 3 separate monsters?

shammallamaman (author) in reply to bubbaflammJul 24, 2008. 10:12 PM

the monsters do not have a jail, they take their prisoners to the other team's jail, and you need 4 people to play 3 monsters because the flippity floop takes 2 people to play it

I have played a slightly similar game to this as part of a scavenger hunt held on a ball field on the edge of some woods at night. It is a lot of fun.

shammallamaman (author) in reply to stinkymumJul 20, 2008. 10:36 PM

oh, cool, yeah it is a lot of fun, what were the differences between the ame you played and this one?

stinkymum in reply to shammallamamanJul 21, 2008. 3:52 AM

It was similar to the the Alien game
