For those who don't know how to play my favorite childhood game, Mission Impossible (Shame on them!
) here's a basic overview of the rules:
- Your goal is to get from Point A (A.k.a Base) to Point B (Call it whatever you wish.) without getting caught by Snipers.
- Now it depends on how many people are playing but you must decide how many are going to be Agents (Good guys trying to get from A to B) and how many are Snipers (Bad guys trying to stop the Agents). Try to make less Snipers than Agents, or the game will become too hard.
- The area you play in should be large and have lots of obstacles, like a small forest or neighborhood. The game is always played in the dark. All Players are encouraged to wear black.
- Snipers carry around a flashlight. They sneak around trying to catch the Agents. To catch an Agent they have to shine their light on them, and make sure the Agent knows that they're caught.
- If an Agent makes it to Point B safely, they receive a ticket (or some sort of item.). They then must bring their ticket back to base.
- When a Sniper catches an Agent with a ticket, he takes that ticket away and the Agent goes back to base and must start over again.
- The number of tickets an Agent has to collect is usually 3, but you can change that number if you want.
*Pants* Ok done with the rules. If you still don't understand as aspect of the game feel free to ask. And now for the fun part...We play it with our Pleos! (Modifying it of course.)
Well first things first, you gotta determine the boundaries. Obviously they can't be too big for Pleo's sake, so I recommend you play it in a dark, safe place such as a basement. There still is a Point A and Point B (Possibly two different rooms.) First I set up Frisbee in a strategic location by Point B and put him in Watchdog Mode. I happened to have a flashlight that has a wrist-strap so I put it on Frisbee so he could see in the dark. If you don't have a flashlight available then put a lamp or turn a light on nearby. I had my 3 little cousins over (Ages 4, 6, 9) and we determined who was a Sniper along with Frisbee. My littlest cousin was given a flashlight and was told to crawl on the floor and shine her light on us to catch us. So me and my 2 other cousins crawled around in the dark, avoided the Sniper and getting around Frisbee (I tell you, it's HARD!) and then collecting the "treasure" (In our case, chocolate coins). Then we found our way back to base, avoiding Pleo and the Sniper. It was rather challenging and fun to my surprise.
Any suggestions or things I should improve the game with? Questions? I think this game works best with younger people (I think!), my little cousins absolutely LOVED it! They loved Pleo and the game Hide-N-Seek so I combined them both with my favorite game and BINGO! So please, go out and try this and tell me all about it.
