Senior Assassin rules
The Class of 2027 official rulebook — your school
These are the full senior assassin game rules in one page. Water guns only. Floaties are armor. Purge Day spares no one. These are the standard rules played by senior classes across the country — edit the blanks, then send the whole thing to the group chat so every player agrees to the same game.
One elimination, start to finish (rule 2).
1Weapons: water only
Eliminations count only with a brightly colored water gun. No clear or black blasters, nothing that could be mistaken for a real weapon at a distance. Water balloons and buckets count only if enabled before the game starts.
2How eliminations work
You are assigned exactly one target. Soak your target with a visible hit of water and record it or have a witness confirm it. Send video proof to the organizer within 12 hours.
3Immunity & safe zones
A player visibly wearing the immunity item — pool floaties around the waist — cannot be eliminated. Safe zones: school grounds, workplaces, sports practices, places of worship, and inside home unless invited.
4The safety code
Cars end your game. No elimination from or inside a moving vehicle. Bright guns only in daylight outdoors. Any adult says stop, you stop immediately. Zero exceptions.
5Purge Day & deadlines
The organizer may announce Purge Day with 24h notice — floaties don't work and safe zones unlock. Eliminate targets within 14 days or face inactivity elimination. Video proof decides disputes.
6Who plays & signing up
Open to every graduating senior who signs up before the sign-up deadline. Once the roster locks, nobody joins late and nobody rejoins after being eliminated. Signing up means you agree to this rulebook, including the safety code. Entry fee: none.
7Targets & the chain
Targets are drawn as one secret chain: you hunt exactly one person, and exactly one person hunts you. Never post or share your target. When you eliminate your target, their target becomes yours, and you keep going.
If you are eliminated, you are out for the rest of the game, even on Purge Day. Give your hunter your remaining target so the chain stays unbroken.
8What does not count
A hit does not count if it comes from inside or out of a car, through a window or doorway, or from inside anyone's home without an invitation. Grabbing, pinning, blocking someone in, or chasing them into traffic gets you disqualified, not credited. If the water is not visible on the video, it did not happen.
9Disputes
Send any dispute to the organizer with your video within 24 hours. The organizer's decision is final. Arguing in the group chat, posting someone's location, or recruiting friends to vote on a hit changes nothing and can get you removed.
10How it ends
The last player standing wins. If the game stalls with a few players left, the organizer can call a final Purge Day or a head-to-head final round. Prize: bragging rights.

Setting up the game?
Once the roster is locked, use the free target generator to draw the chain — every player gets exactly one target, and nobody gets assigned the person hunting them.
The rules in one minute
Every player gets one secret target. Soak them with a water gun and record it, and their target becomes yours.
Video proof goes to the organizer within 12 hours. If the water is not visible on the video, it did not happen.
Floaties (or whatever immunity item your class picks) protect you. School, work, practice, worship and your own home are safe zones.
Cars end your game: no hits from or inside a moving vehicle. If an adult says stop, you stop.
Hit nobody for 14 days and you are out. Purge Day (24 hours' notice) removes immunity and unlocks safe zones.
Last player standing wins. Disputes go to the organizer with video within 24 hours.
Rules your class can add
The ten rules above are the core that almost every school plays. These are the common additions. Decide on them before targets go out, never halfway through:
Teams or duos. Two to four players share a target and share a fate. See team rules.
Bounties. Extra credit for eliminating a player who is on a streak. See bounty rounds.
A rotating immunity item. The organizer changes the immunity item every few days so nobody lives in floaties. See immunity rules.
Prizes and entry fees. Money changes the game more than any other rule. See prizes before you collect anything.
Senior assassin rules: common questions
What are the basic rules of senior assassin?
Every player secretly gets one target. You eliminate your target by soaking them with a water gun and recording it, then you take over their target. Safe zones and an immunity item protect players at certain times, and the last player left wins.
Can you get someone at school?
No. School grounds are a safe zone in nearly every version of the game, and playing on campus is the fastest way to get the whole game banned. Workplaces, practices and places of worship are safe too. The safe zones guide covers the gray areas.
What counts as an elimination?
A visible hit of water, from a water gun, on your assigned target, recorded or witnessed. Hitting the wrong person does nothing, and neither does a hit through a car window. More edge cases are in what counts as an elimination.
Are water balloons allowed?
Only if the organizer says so before the game starts. The default is water guns only, because a hit from a gun is easy to see on video and balloons lead to arguments.
How long does senior assassin last?
Usually a few weeks in spring, depending on class size. The 14-day inactivity rule keeps it moving, and Purge Day ends the stalls. See how the game ends.
Do you need an app?
No. Publish this rulebook to get a class code, draw targets with the generator, and players follow the board at join a game. No download, no GPS, no account. If your school is on the fence, the approval guide and the safety page are the ones to send.
Is it senior assassin or senior assasin?
The standard spelling is assassin, with a double s twice. Senior assasin is a common misspelling and means the same game, so the rules on this page apply either way.
How long do you have to send video proof of an elimination?
Under these rules you send the video to the organizer within 12 hours. Your target can dispute a hit within 24 hours, and the organizer's decision is final.
What happens if you do not eliminate anyone?
Under the 14-day inactivity rule, a player who has not eliminated their target in 14 days is out of the game. It keeps the chain moving when someone stops playing.
Can you eliminate someone at their house?
Not unless they invite you. Inside a home is a safe zone, and a hit from outside through a doorway or window does not count. Cars, school grounds, workplaces, practices and places of worship are also off limits.
Does it cost money to play senior assassin?
The template rulebook has no entry fee. Some classes add one for a prize pool, which changes the game a lot. Read the guide to senior assassin prizes before collecting anything.
Can an eliminated player rejoin?
No. Once you are eliminated you are out for the rest of the game, even on Purge Day. Give your hunter your remaining target so the chain stays unbroken.
What if your school does not allow senior assassin?
