The Rules

  1. Each game has 2 teams of 3 or 5 - named after our sponsers Helix and Staedtler.
  2. Each team has a flag they need to protect on their side.
  3. The objective is to steal the other team's pencil and bring it to your pencil.
  4. If the other team tags you, you have to drop the pencil and return to your own pencil, and have to timeout for 5 seconds.
  5. The pencil is explosive, and you need to pass it to a new teammate every 5 seconds.
  6. If you hold onto the pencil for more than 5 seconds, the pencil will "explode" and the holder is taken out of the game. The pencil then goes to the other team.
  7. Players of the same team must be 2m away from each other when passing the pencil, otherwise the pencil goes to the other team.
  8. Each game takes place in a new map.
  9. 3 rounds will be played
  10. If Team A wins 2, then Team B will get a redemption bonus round.
  11. The winning team will always get a bonus round.
  12. Winning the episode will grant the team £1000 between them.
  13. Winning a bonus round will grant the team an extra £100.
  14. Bonus Round Rules:
    1. The team must get the pencil to the other side of the map, with the same exploding pencil rules.
    2. They cannot move with the pencil.
    3. The team will have 30s to make it to the other side.
