Street Wars

Years ago it was known as "Kiss of Death", but the fantasy murder game is now known as "Street Wars" and is becoming a cult obsession among twenty-and young thirty somethings. The game is a mix between hide-and-seek and capture the flag with a little bit of the mafia thrown in for fun. It's played for 3 weeks 24/7. The Los Angeles game started on March 13th and ends April 3rd, and has been played in NYC, Vancouver, San Francisco, and Vienna.

Once players register at the Street Wars website, they receive a manila envelope containing the following:

• A picture of their intended target(s)
• The home address of their intended target(s)
• The work address of their intended target(s)
• The name of their intended target(s)
• Contact information of their intended target(s)

Upon receipt of these items, your (or your team's) mission is to find and kill (by way of water gun, water balloon or super soaker) your target(s).

You can hunt your target down any way you see fit; you can pose as a delivery person and jack them when they open the door, disguise yourself and take them out on the street, etc.

If you are successful in your assassination attempt, the person you killed will give you their envelope and the person they were supposed to kill becomes your new target. This continues until you work yourself through all the players and retrieve the envelope with your (or your team's) picture(s) and name(s). Then you win. Cash…but first live in fear.
