Phaser setup
Each phaser comes pre-set. So all you need to do is turn the
phaser on with the key and pull the trigger and it will give you
a few second
count-down, then it is ready to go!
There is no need to chance the
settings or open the case of the phaser.

GAME: RELIC RAIDERS
Relic Raiders is a popular game. It is a new take on an old
favourite: the Treasure Hunt!
Before the participants arrive hide several items around the
playing area.
The props can be themed to keep with the event. Ideas include:
- a blue scarab (an Egyptian artefact prop) here's
a design to
print out, cut it out and colour it in, then stick it on top
of a small box.
- a toy treasure chest
- a treasure map or secret letter like the one pictured.
Teams
gain points by finding relics and returning them to their base
however they can only search or carry relics while they are
currently activated. The team that finds the most props, wins.
The gamers can, of course, help create the
playing area but should not be allowed back in the area after the
the relics have been hidden. In the game instructions make sure
each participant understands they cannot move a relic back to
their base while "de-activated". If they are
de-activated while holding a relic, they must
to drop it immediately. Gamers are not to snatch a relic from
another "activated" gamer on the opposition team. This
game should be run for no more than 5 minutes. The medic boxes
should be set to provide re-activations for 3 minutes or for a
limited number or re-activations.
GAME: ELIMINATION
This is a simple, ELIMINATE THE OTHER GUYS mission.
It is a great first game. Just about everybody has an itchy
trigger finger when they first arrive. And this game is perfect to release some tension.
Roughly equal team
sizes.
Teams start at
opposite ends of the playing area. Each team gets unlimited re-activations from
their base (where they started from) and everyone gets 5 hit points (hits they can take before they
must go back and get a re-activation). The medic box (or master controller) counts
the number of re-activations. The winning team is the one with least
re-activations. You can also vary
this game by limiting the number of re-activations. The game usually goes for
10 minutes. This game is a great warm-up/ice-breaker because every gamer,
plays the whole game and its very forgiving of mistakes.
Run this game first. with each team having a turn from each
end, then while the gamers are having a break, secretly place
the relics around the area and then run relic raiders
