Capture the Flag

You’ve never played

… till you’ve played with us.

Capture the Flag takes on a whole new life as Patchquilt brings it to the streets of New York. Stealth and speed will aid you as you take captives, guard your flags, free your friends from peril, and battle to become Capture the Flag champions. The epic game takes on a new twist with multiple flags and territories made up of the actual parks and streets of New York’s Roosevelt Island.

What is this?

(for Capture the Flag newbies)

It’s a high paced, athletic game that’s insanely fun. Teams will be given an area of land where they will hide their team’s flags. Some of their teammates will stay in their territory to defend the flags while others will go out into other territories to try to capture other flags. They’ll need to be careful though. If you’re tagged on another team’s territory, you’ll go to jail. A team wins the game by capturing the most flags and bringing them back to their own territory.
