Fire Tag

An Official Selection of IndieCade 2016! Fire Tag is like Freeze Tag, but smarter and sillier. It's a running-and-jumping, print-and-play game for 10-50 players. You and your friends will take on one of four roles - Fire, Grass, Shrub, and Rain - then chase each other around a field. For science!

Fire Tag is both a game and a simulation where each round constitutes an experiment in landscape ecology. During the game proper, you'll learn basic ecological facts through play. During the post-game discussion, the game facilitator (a.k.a. Game Master, or GM) helps to highlight parallels between in-game patterns and real world landscapes. This helps you to understand deeper issues in fire ecology, systems thinking, and scientific modeling - all while inspiring a love of science, nature, and learning!
