How to play

Is there anything more fun than a water fight on a hot summer's day? This is probably the most straightforward game there is. Throw plenty of water around and get others wet.

Divide the group into two teams for some friendly competition, and the wettest team at the end wins. Guaranteed though that everyone will be too drenched by the end, and everyone will win.

For a water fight with a difference, tape sheets of paper to everyone's tops. These are their lives. If their sheet of paper gets wet then they are out, and they have to go and get a new sheet of paper in order to keep playing. This can sometimes work, but water fights often work best by stepping back and letting chaos reign.
