The Sentinel

Based on the 1980's Computer Game

Notes

  • Time: 30 Mins to 2 Hours
  • Location:Hill at Night
  • Verdict:7/10

Equipment

  • Strong Torch with focused beam
  • Bell

Instructions

  • One person is chosen to be the "Sentinel" and his job is to guard the "Bell of Justice" at the top of the hill.
  • The Sentinel is armed with a single laser weapon (the torch) which can only shine for 1 second in 5. (Time it manually)

  • The players are commandos who work as teams and start in their drop ships at the bottom of the hill.
  • If a commando is hit by the laser he is dead and must return to his drop ship.
  • When a player returns to the drop he must wait 30 seconds for "new orders" (from one of the leaders with a watch) before returning to the fight.

  • The first team to ring the bell wins.

Variations

  • When the sentinel hits someone they call out the commandos name so that the leaders back at the drop ship can expect them (and stop cheating).
  • Vary the time of the laser blasts
  • Use a rotating beam
  • The person to ring the bell becomes the new sentinel andthe game starts over again.
  • Have several sentinels at once taking it in turns to flash the laser, either randomly or in sequence.
