A step-by-step guide to play the game
1
6 team players enter into a 20 square foot area (a closed room or sports-field outside). One of the players wears a colored t-shirt (or a 'COVID-19 virus costume') to indicate he/she is the COVID-19 positive person. This player is blindfolded. The objective of the player will be to infect another player during the game. The player can infect another player by:
- Approach a player (come closer to a player within 1 meter of distance)
- Through contact (tag another player)
2
- There is 1 spot in one corner designated as a mask area where 1 player at a time can rest for 15 seconds without being infected
- There is 1 spot designated as an isolation area where 1 player at a time can go for 15 seconds to avoid being infected
- Once a player is at the isolation spot or mask area, he/she must stay there for the entire 15 seconds and cannot leave the spot.

The 5 players on the field need to communicate and coordinate with each in order to avoid being infected.
