A game we did in Belgium was 'Capture the flag'. It was an all nighter starting at around 22:00 o'clock. In the day both parties, defenders and attackers, choose a location of where the flag is to be planted. After that a circle surrounding the flag is made with tape. The outside of the circle is about 15 meters from where the flag is standing.
Attackers need to steal the flag in a certain timeframe. If the flag is stolen by the time they get into the circle, they can leave a personal message inside the circle (where the flag originally was) to prove that they also were able to sneak all the way into the defenders' camp.
Defenders need to stop the attackers from entering the circle. They need to give attackers a tap on the back to let them know that they have been spotted.
Defenders are not allowed to enter the circle. If they spot an attacker crawling inside the circle they may throw a pinecone in their direction making it obvious for the attacker that he has been spotted. FairPlay is a must.
The great thing about this game was that I can say that I have literally laid on a forest floor in the middle of the night for hours on end, using my hearing, sight and smell to try to evade the defenders. I remember this being pretty exhilarating as a youngster, especially when defenders are searching for you and step over you, thinking you are a log. The role as a defender is also great to play, as you sit there quiet, against a tree, hearing attackers sneaking closer. Setting tripwires with cans on the end is allowed!
