How to play >>> You run up to someones door and ring the bell or knock. Then the importaint part ... Run Away! Sounds simple, it is. But can cause so much childish joy.
REMEMBER STRANGER DANGER KIDS.
1. The more people who see you run into a garden, and ring on the bell. The higher the chance of getting caught. So only Ginger the house if you can tell someone is in. Look to see if lights are on or if windows are open. If the car is in the drive then it is likely someone will be in.
2. If you are playing with friends then don't shout out each other's names or adresses.
3. Be fast when running away or find a good hiding place.
