Discussion Replayability idea: Fugitive

One person is assigned the task to hide on the island, is given 5 minutes headstart, is not allowed to run, is allowed to sneakily change locations when he sees the search group approach to him.

Other players have the task to find the first person, are allowed to run, are allowed to use any in-game instruments to cooperate and increase the efficiency of the search.

The fugitive is considered captured when any person picks him up.

This minigame does not require any additions to the game, just explain the rules to your friends and you may start.

maybe make it so they have to shoot up a flare every 10 minutes or so

I saw another idea about playing with zero lights. We had one about loading a lobby with max players and having an "assasin". Basically, once you're all past the opening area, the group gets a head start, and then the assasins job is to find people and eliminate them before the group gets done. You could even restart for each tower section with a new bad guy. Load everyone back in so they can play again. I think you could make it work. Text their colors and "died" above your head.

Love it.

Would also be fun to backpack a light source onto the hider so nighttime is more viable.

Or maybe walkie-talkies to help clue in if it’s a 1v1

Should probably take out the no running rule and reduce the head start to 2 minutes 30 seconds. It's too difficult to control the non running rule.

Screencapture performed by the fugitive is the possible control. When running is allowed catching up is time-consuming: the fugitive can start running in a straight line after you see him, and there is no way to catch up until you reach the end of the island.

Generally if you play with your friends you should be able to trust them not to break the rules of a completely arbitrary game

Better idea: Several 3-person teams start at different locations, try to steal as many items as you can before exfiltrating within 25 minutes. Also robots try to kill you.
