Capture the flag (CTF) is a game where two or more teams try to capture the other team's flag and return it to their own base. It's a popular game at summer camps and in backyards. 

How to play

  • Divide players into two teams. 
  • Each team chooses a flag or other marker to hide in their territory. 
  • Players from one team try to find the other team's flag while avoiding being tagged. 
  • If a player is tagged, they may be sent to "jail" or out of the game. 
  • The first team to capture the other team's flag and return it to their own base wins. 

Variations 

  • Players can be freed from "jail" by a teammate touching them.
  • Players can be sent back to their own territory.
  • Players can be frozen in place.
  • Players can become members of the opposite team.
