About this site
Senior Assassins is built and run by Chris Lucas, an independent web developer in Las Vegas — chris-vibes.com. It is not affiliated with any school, district, or app store, and it is not a venture-backed startup with a growth team. It is one person who thought this game deserved better tools than a Google Site and a group chat.
Why it exists
Every spring, a few hundred thousand high-school seniors play some version of this game, and almost all of them run it out of a spreadsheet, a group chat, and a Google Site somebody's cousin made in 2019. The apps that do exist mostly want a download, an account, a subscription, or a live map of where teenagers are standing.
None of that is necessary. A target chain is a shuffle. A rulebook is a document. A leaderboard is a list. All three fit in a web page that opens from a link, and building them that way means there is no app to install, no account to create, and no roster of real student names sitting in a database waiting to be leaked. That is the entire thesis.
What we will never do with your game
These are commitments, not current settings:
- We will never collect location data. Not for gameplay, not for analytics, not ever. There is no GPS anywhere in this product.
- We will never charge for the game, or run a prize pot. Free is a rule here, not a trial tier.
- We will never be able to read your roster. This one is structural rather than a promise: the class code never reaches our server, and your rulebook, roster and targets are encrypted in your own browser before they are stored. We hold ciphertext under a hash. If a court asked us for a roster, we could not produce one. See the privacy page for how that works.
- We will never require an account. No email, no phone number, no sign-up.
How this stays free
The site carries advertising, and that is the whole model. There is no premium tier, no per-player fee, and nothing gated behind a payment. If we ever add something that costs money, the game itself will still be free — that part is not negotiable, because a game with money in it is a game schools are right to worry about.
Are we telling students to play this?
No. We think the game is going to happen at a lot of schools whether or not anyone builds tools for it, and that a version played under a written rulebook with real safe zones and an absolute rule about cars is meaningfully safer than a version organized entirely in a group chat. The documented incidents are specific and they are addressable, which is why the safety page exists and why it does not soften any of it.
If you are an administrator deciding how to handle this at your school, that page is written for you, and the safety agreement on it is free to use or edit whether or not your students use anything else here.

Worth writing in about:
- Something on the site is broken, or a rule template is wrong for your state or district.
- We described a competitor inaccurately on the comparison page — especially if you build one. We will correct it.
- You are a journalist or a school newspaper writing about the game and want a comment or the data behind the safety page.
- You are a parent or administrator with a concern. We would rather hear it than not.
