HOW TO PLAY
1

Gather everyone around the campfire and describe the elusive, imaginary "snipe" in playful detail, giving it a made-up call or sound.

2

Split players into small teams, each with a flashlight and a bag to catch snipe in.

3

Send teams out along a safe, pre-agreed path to search for signs of the snipe, banging sticks or calling out to lure it.

4

Let the hunt continue for a set amount of time while a designated leader keeps every team within sight of camp.

5

Gather back at the fire, compare "snipe evidence" collected, and reveal the game's playful twist together.

6

Finish with everyone sharing their favorite moment from the hunt as a group story.
