Storm Chasers

This game was created as a team effort with the Neon Badger Games team that was formed for the DES101 module at Abertay University in 2022. 

ABOUT THE GAME 

As the game begins, players must run in a circle in the centre of the room until the Storm Master selects a storm from the Storm Sack. 

Once the storm is called by the Storm Master, players must reach the corner of the room assigned to that storm as fast as they can or else they’ll be lost to the storm.

Players have one life per game and the last person to reach the called corner dies immediately and is out of the game. There are rules about how you can reach each corner - if you break the rules you're out. The last person standing is the winner and has survived the storm. The winner becomes the next Storm Master. 

Aimed primarily at school children, Storm Chasers encourages general fitness, memory development and competitive drive. Can be used as a fun fitness or playtime game or alternatively as an ice-breaker. 

WHAT YOU NEED 

 A Storm Sack (any small bag or sack that can hold several blocks or alternative items used to select which storm is called). A Storm Master and ideally a minimum of 8 players - the more players, the longer the game will be! 

THE RULES 

The storms and rules of how to reach each corner are as follows: 

Sandstorm - close your eyes so you don't get blinded by the sand!

Flood - hop like a frog to get to safety! 

Tornado - you have to out-spin the tornado to reach the safe corner!

Thunder -  crawl on the ground to avoid getting struck by lightning!
