**Core Elements:**
- Red Light / Green Light
- Agility pads with reactive lighting or buzzer prompts

**Objective:**
Players race across a grid of light or sound pads, reacting to prompts in real-time. The goal is to reach the other side without triggering false starts or missing activation cues.

---

**Teams & Players:**
- 2 teams of 5 players
  - 1 caller/ref on each side
  - 4 runners per team per round

---

**Field Layout:**
- 20 ft x 20 ft grid (5x5 pads)
- Each pad lights up or beeps when activated
- Team start zones at opposing ends

---

**Gameplay Cycle:**
1. Caller initiates prompts: lights, buzzers, or verbal cues.
2. Players step only on lit or active pads to cross the grid.
3. Stepping on inactive pads or hesitating during a green signal results in a fault.
4. First team to get all 4 players across legally wins the round.

---

**Scoring:**
- 1 point per player who successfully completes a run
- 5 bonus points for flawless round (no faults)
- -1 point per fault (false step or incorrect pad)

---

**Twist / Chaos Element:**
- “Reverse Grid”: Occasionally, the direction of movement is reversed mid-round.
- “Deception Cue”: Random “fake” green signals introduced; players must wait for double-green to move.

---

**Safety Notes:**
- Rubber sole footwear required
- Ensure agility pads are securely placed
- No pushing or team interference allowed

---

**Setup Time:** ~15 minutes  
**Play Time:** ~20–30 minutes
