Project Ninjas Rules - 2016
Gameplay
- Players are organized in teams composed of anywhere between 1 – 5 members.
- Each individual within a team is assigned a different individual that they have to eliminate.
- Although you may collaborate with your teammates to find the individual, nobody else is allowed to eliminate the target for you.
- Teammates will not be assigned as targets to one another, and will be able to work together to progress through the game.
- If an individual on a team wins, the entire team wins and the winnings are split amongst team members.
- You are eliminated if you are tagged by the assassin who is targeting you.
- To eliminate a target, you must discreetly place a Project Hope sticker on their person/clothing. Backpacks and other similar items do not count.
- If you see someone who is trying to assassinate you and catch them before they can put the sticker on you, then you can yell “Project Hope!” as a safe word. They are not allowed to target you for at least another hour.
- If your target realizes you are trying to assassinate them and they call you out on it before you can successfully place the sticker on them, then you are not allowed to put the sticker on target and must try again at a later time (at least an hour).
- Don’t talk about the game, who your target is, etc., to anyone besides your teammates!
- Deliberate attempts at sabotage will be met with disqualification.
