**CONCEPT SUMMARY**  
Flag Fury is an adrenaline-filled hybrid of capture the flag and maze-based strategy. Players must navigate a randomized obstacle maze to retrieve flags while avoiding capture and planning the fastest escape route. Mental and physical agility are both tested.

---

**REQUIRED EQUIPMENT**

- Colored flags (2–4 per team)  
- Large area with removable maze barriers (PVC walls, cardboard panels, etc.)  
- Stopwatch or game timer  
- Boundary markers or cones  
- Uniforms or color bands for team ID  
- Penalty station cones or seats

---

**FIELD LAYOUT**

- Play area divided into two maze zones and a central neutral zone  
- Each team hides their flags inside their maze  
- Center neutral zone is open, but tagged players must retreat to penalty zone

---

**PLAYER ROLES**

- 5–7 players per team  
- Runners: Retrieve opposing team’s flags  
- Guards: Defend home flags  
- Spotters (optional): Call out movements and routes from elevated position

---

**GAME OBJECTIVE**

Successfully infiltrate the opponent's maze, retrieve their flags, and return to your zone without being tagged. First team to recover all opposing flags wins the match.

---

**BASIC RULES**

1. Players tagged in opponent territory must sit in the Penalty Zone for 1 minute.  
2. Only one flag can be carried per player at a time.  
3. Players cannot move or block maze barriers.  
4. If a flag carrier is tagged, they must drop the flag where tagged.  
5. Teams may not guard flags closer than 3 feet unless in active pursuit.

---

**VARIATIONS / SCALING IDEAS**

- **Timed Mode**: Highest flag count wins at time limit.  
- **Mini Mazes**: 3-minute rounds in smaller maze fields.  
- **Distraction Zones**: Add mini-puzzles that must be solved to unlock flags.  
- **Flash Mode**: Dim lighting and glow flags for night-time charity events.

---

**STAT TRACKING SUGGESTIONS**

- Flags recovered  
- Players tagged (offense and defense)  
- Escape time per recovery  
- Maze navigation efficiency rating  
- Penalty zone visits

**NOTES**  
Flag Fury balances stealth, strategy, and stamina. Excellent for school gymnasiums, fairs, or indoor arenas. Maze configurations can be reused and randomized each match to increase replay value.
