Ages: 8+

Number of Players: 6-20+

SETUP

Follow these five simple steps to get playing

  1. Choose a playing field where it’s safe to run in low light conditions. Lay glowing red territory lights to divide the playing field in half. Each team picks a side: their home territory.
  2. Put on the LED glow bracelet of your team’s color. Insert the free end into the connector, and push button to start glowing.
  3. Place glowing jail markers of your team’s color in a 6 x 6 foot square. This will be your jail and starting position.
  4. Light up your team’s Orb and hide it inside your territory. No covering or hiding it above eye level.
  5. Pick up your glow swords and put on your best warrior ferocious face.

GENERAL RULES

  • Win by capturing your opponent’s Orb and getting it back to your territory.
  • Players must stand at least 15 feet away from their team’s Orb and jail. No puppy guarding!
  • Jailed players may only leave when a teammate reaches the jail without being hit. All players in jail get a free walk back to their home territory.
  • All lights must remain on and cannot be covered
  • Pro Tip: if you get out, become a Game Guardian and make sure all players follow the rules   

GAME OPTIONS

EVERYONE ARMED (4-10 players)
