MANHUNT!!!!!

Wednesday, September 6, 7-8 pm

Led by Adam Waldron-Blain

MANHUNT is a regressive form of hide-and-seek for adults. Every week adults in cities across the country meet-up to hunt down their fellow man.

The Rules:

  1. Players are either manhunters or fugitives.
  2. The game starts with one person who is the manhunter; everyone else is a fugitive. Once the manhunter has been selected, the fugitives have 120 seconds to hide.
  3. If a fugitive is tagged by a manhunter, she or he is brainwashed and forced to join the side of the manhunters. At the end of the designated time limit, all fugitives who have not been arrested are declared the winners.
  4. Play occurs within predetermined boundaries. If a fugitive exits these boundaries for any reason, she/he joins the manhunters. Players are identified by means of an armband.

Remember: Dress for the weather! Manhunts last for about one hour. Another may begin at 8 pm. For more information, visit http://manhunt-edmonton.com

Adam Waldron-Blain is an artist, art critic and member of Institute Parachute.
