I used to run this exact game in high school. We called it killer (it was one of the first published live action rollplaying games I think). We also allowed for things like car bombs (toilet paper tubes taped to the bottem of the car), animal attacks (I had some one hide in a closet in a gorrila suite and jump out and “kill” the guy), and poisend food (usealy a few drops of food coloring). How these kills were verified is a longer post, but we got by.

Anyone ever seen the movie Big Trouble? Near the beginning of the movie high school kids are playing an extremely similar game, down to using squirt guns. It was released in 2002.

if only my company was more laid back, this would be fantastic to play in the cubicle maze.

Looks like fun, however, I can’t imagine how you have to explain to a Cop why you were carrying a water gun in the middle of the city spraying someone.

Hell yea, that’s awesome. I might be getting in on a game of killer soon, if the group can get its collective ass together.

This exact game was a tradition at my high school in Westchester County, right outside NYC. From 1997 at the very latest, (I’m not sure when exactly it started) we stalked each other before, between, and after classes with waterguns. A ton of fun, and you could win some cash at the end, if you got that far.

I used to play the basic game, a la Gotcha! with paintballs and all.

My heart races just thinking about the 2009 game… I am so down.
