FlagHunt is ideal for encouraging active outdoor exercise, team building, and learning among group members.<\/strong><\/p>

The game takes only a moment to start.<\/p>

At the beginning of the game, participants are divided into clans. The clan division can also be planned in advance. Each clan gets a brief moment to strategize before the game\u2019s operational phase.<\/p>

Each player needs a mobile device to join the game and their respective clan by entering a player name. Alternatively, participants can join in small teams, where one shared mobile device is sufficient for the group.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The game guides participants to the starting area, where the game clock begins.<\/p>

During the game, different objects will appear dynamically on the participants’ screens (map view), and they must quickly decide what to do next, then take action by moving towards the selected object. Communication with their own clan plays an essential role throughout the game.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Here’s how to play FlagHunt:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Players can create clans and join clans with a maximum of 4 players (larger clan sizes are possible). This can be done before the actual game time starts to join the action quickly.<\/li>\n
  2. At the start of the game, each player must first go to the ”Start Area.”<\/li>\n
  3. The game includes virtual flags, worth 20-60 points. At any given moment, there can be several active flags on the map. Players can go to any of these flags. Players can tap the flag icons on their mobile device screen to see the actual flag areas and where to go.<\/li>\n
  4. Once enough players have visited a certain flag, that flag will disappear from everyone’s map, and a new flag will be placed on the playing field.<\/li>\n
  5. The clan that captures 10 green flags first earns 500 points for all its members.<\/li>\n
  6. There are 10 hidden treasures on the playing field, each worth 200-600 points. Players must roam the area to find an active treasure. When a player is close enough to a treasure, they will receive a ”Treasure Nearby” notification. When they are even closer, the treasure will appear on their map. The first player to reach the treasure gets it. After that, the next treasure will activate and be available for all players to find.<\/li>\n
  7. There are also 5 robbers in the game, with whom players can ally. If a player successfully forms an alliance with a robbers, that robber will steal from other clan members who get too close. The robbers will reward the player with points for each successful steal.<\/li>\n
  8. The game includes 40 puzzles that will appear on the map as the game progresses. Each flag captured will add a random puzzle to the player’s map, and solving it will earn them 100-200 bonus points.<\/li>\n
  9. Players may receive different bonus opportunities for a limited time. Vigilance is rewarded!<\/li>\n
  10. The clan and the individual player with the most points win!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
