Materials

  1. Dark room or outdoor setting
  2. Marking objects (such as cones, beanbags, etc.)
  3. Flashlights (one per player if played in the dark)
  4. Numerous Bibles

Formation

The game is played between two teams.

Instructions

  1. Label four points on the playing field before the game starts. These points represent the "home" and "delivery" sites for each team. Illuminate these points with flashlights if it's dark.
  2. Place a stack of Bibles at each home point.
  3. From each team, select a "guard". Their role is to prevent Bibles from being transferred to the delivery sites.
  4. Each team aims to deliver as many Bibles as possible from the home base to the delivery point within a specified time limit.
  5. Players are only allowed to carry one Bible at a time. If a guard spots and identifies a player carrying a Bible en route to the delivery point, the player must surrender their Bible.
  6. The game concludes once the time restrictiton is met. The team that delivers the most Bibles wins.

This game is best when played outdoors and in sufficiently dark areas using flashlights. Ensure that out of bounds areas are clearly marked.
