⚔️ Joust
Hold your controller flat in your open palm and keep it dead still. Any real movement (a jostle, a flinch, a bump, a drop) gets you out. Last one standing wins.
How to play
- Wait for the calm blue “+”. You're in. Now hold perfectly still.
- Jostle, nudge, and tackle opponents to make their controller move. Few rules.
- Keep your own hand steady. The slightest real acceleration and you're gone.
- When your panel flashes a bold X and won't stop, you're out.
What your controller is telling you
IN: breathing “+”
Slow gentle pulse, blue. You're alive and armed.
CLOSE: rising bar
Bar climbs green→amber→red as you move. The higher it goes, the closer you are to out. Hold still to keep it low.
OUT: hard strobing X
Bright flashing X (+ beep on sound-equipped units). You're eliminated. Hold the button ~1.2s to acknowledge.
ACKNOWLEDGED: dim steady X
No flashing. Others can still see you're out. Wait for an admin to start the next round.
Colorblind / bright sun
Every state is readable without color: it's the shape (+ vs rising bar vs X), the motion
(slow breathe vs fast blink vs hard strobe vs steady), and brightness. The X means OUT no matter
what colors you see, from any angle.
