Manhunt is a hide-and-go-seek game designed for people who don't want to call it that. It combines that element along with others from Capture the Flag (jails), the classic 'tag', and the adolescent tendency to be sadistic.
However, it's fun like crazy, in spite of the cynical summarization. To start off, the 'fugitives' make up the majority of the players; the game is best with 7+ people. The amount of starting 'hunters' is best based on the number of participants: usually one or two. Every hunted player has a pre-determined amount of time to run and hide, and then a signal sounds for the hunt to begin.
It's widely considered best to play in outdoor environments of several acres in size, and at night. Flashlights can be used by both hunted and hunters if so desired by the participants, and good cover use is encouraged.
When one is 'tagged' in any manner deemed appropriate beforehand (flashlight, one/two-hand touch, sight), they are converted (brainwashed) into joining the other team. If one ventures outside of the pre-determined boundaries for the game, they are changed to the hunter's team. However, much cheating occurs here; no one catches cheaters...
It's quite unusual for a game of Manhunt to go without several arguments. It's like playing a game with no rules; there are so many variants and possible choices that dissent is always present.
Other rules on boundaries: usually, participants aren't allowed to go into rooms with doors, or doors period. Stairs are O.K.; but it's advised not to go into buildings, period.
Tips:
-Wear dark or camouflaged clothing
-Wear good running shoes / light clothing
-Carry a flashlight
-Stay away from dangerous areas
-Use an airhorn or carhorn for the starting signal

Get the manhater mug.One of the coolest, most violent, and really fuckin' hard games ever made. Made by Rockstar games, the people who brought you the ever popular and controversial GTA series.
You play the role of James Earl Cash, a man sentenced to death. However, his execution is a fake, turning out that the lethal injection was just a sedative.
He wakes up in the streets of Carcer city, a lawless, run-down town. A man called Starkweather informs you vis earpiece that in order to stay alive, you must kill. And that's where the game takes off.
A VERY violent game, allowing you to kill hunters in many ways, ranging from suffocating them with a plastic bag to ripping their balls of with a sythe.
All in all, very good game, 9/10.

Get the manhunt mug.Noun. A ManCanter is a male, often well-endowed, who drains his bladder, through use of a catheter, and proceeds to refill his bladder with wine. The wine should always be a red. The man decanter is then hired by the super-wealthy as a form of entertainment at parties. The man decanter strolls, nude, from glass to glass at the party and proceeds to offer guests "drinksies" by dispensing the wine from his penis.
Walter, have you hired a ManCanter for the summer soiree? The Andersons had one last spring and I refuse to have any wine that isn't served from a ManCanter.
