Two equally sized groups with numbers search for a treasure in the opposing field (e.g. a pylon). Whoever finds the pylon first is the winner. The game is preferably played at night or at dusk.
Material
- Sufficient sets with two numbers each at the front and back (preferably two types with different colors), 3 or 4 digits. If only numbers of one color are available, game ribbons for one group
- 2 pylons or 2 identical objects of similar size
- Barrier tape
Preparation
- In a forest, two fields of equal size are demarcated with barrier tape. The control center is located in the middle
- Two groups of the same size are formed. Each group is assigned a playing field. Each group receives a pylon or similar object.
- Everyone receives a set of numbers, clearly visible from the front and back. Either both groups have numbers of different colors, or one group also has a ribbon to distinguish them.
- Both groups hide their pylons so that only the top 10 cm are visible from the ground. They make sure that the players in the other group cannot see where the hiding place is during this time.
Course of the game
- At the starting whistle, the players in both groups try to find the pylon in the opponent's field. The numbers may only be covered from one side. Covering the front number and standing with your back against a tree is therefore forbidden.
- If a player's number is read out loud by an opponent, he must go to the control center with his hand raised and receive a glow stick. He may then continue playing. If the number is read a second time, a second glow stick is placed on the player's hand. Whoever is read for the third time must perform a feat (e.g. 10 push-ups) and may hand over both glow sticks and continue playing.
- Whoever has found the pylon must bring it to the control center as quickly as possible. It can no longer be read on the way. The corresponding group wins.
The game can be played several times, e.g. 3 times. A variation is that those who are read out are definitely eliminated the last time.
