The most popular 2004 office box hit, The Incredibles, offers some great game ideas from the renowned young son named Dash. This speedy little character terrorized his brothers and sister throughout the movie and did so with some very quick wit. Here he offers a great rendition of tag to play in the darkened house on a night full of fun… If you are fast enough.

Flashlight or spotlight tag takes place in a dark atmosphere. It can either be played outdoors after the day has come to a close or in house when the lights are out (maybe during a power outage). The concept of the game is very similar to that when one is playing the normal rendition of tag but rather than actually tagging the person by touch, you do so in the manner of spotlighting them. When a person has been "spotted" they have to go to jail but can be freed by another player if they can do so without being "spotted."

There are many different ways to vary this game as well. Consider suggestions on how you and your group can make this game new and exciting. Time-limits, get out of jail free cards, and paying fines might be some handy tips to personalize the game to your own style. Like wise, some players require that the "spotter" has to call out the name of the individual they think they are tagging prior to shining them. If they are wrong then the individual does not have to go to jail. Similarly, others require that the light can only shine for a few seconds at a time rather than full beam.

Having fun and keeping good sportsmanship throughout the game is the main idea. Try it at your next event to have an Incredible evening.
