How to play
This type of wide game generally involves the group being split up into teams. Each of these teams needs to complete a number of small activities over the course of the night. One activity might be crossing a swimming pool in a home made raft. Plan a list of activities for different leaders to supervise.
In between these activities, teams are given extra challenges, for example dodging leaders carrying water bombs.
The basic premise of these wide games is that teams must work together to finish each of the mini activities, and gather clues along the way which will allow them to finish the whole game. As with a lot of wide games, good preparation and organisation are essential.
