Extreme Manhunt
Pitch Document

Overview

This game will be played just like the original game of manhunt. All of the same rules apply, except the “extreme” addition will introduce a point system. Since the main objective of the game is for the seekers to get the hiders into jail, there will be points incorporated into the game based on how long players are held in jail. For each minute a player is in jail, 1 point will be rewarded to the seeking team. The point system makes the game more competitive and fast paced.
Manhunt is a fun game to casually play with your friends during your childhood. However, there is no real competition or something for each team to play for. By introducing points into the game, players actually have an objective to shoot for, which is obviously to get the most points by the end of both rounds.
Having the most points leads to a victory, which means the seekers be more aware of the players in jail and try their best to keep as many people in jail as possible. Hiders will also be doing their best to find the best of hiding spots in order to stay out of jail for as long as possible. Hiders will also have to heavily rely on getting their teammates out of jail so the opposing team doesn’t rack up points.
Extreme Manhunt is played just like regular manhunt. The players are evenly divided into two teams. One team starts as the seekers, and the other team starts as the hiders. The hiders are given 1-2 minutes to hide around the playing vicinity, typically held outdoors (and at night time). The seekers are then free to search for the hiders. Once a hider is found, he is free to run about the playing area. Once a hider is tagged, they are sent to a pre-determined “jail” area.
A hider that is placed in jail must count how long they are in there for. For every minute they are in jail, the seeking team receives one point. Another member of the hiding team who is not already in jail may tag a hiding member in jail to free them. The round ends after 10-15 minutes (pre-determined). The players then switch sides, and play another round. The team who received the most points as the seekers wins the game!
