In the foggy morning of 25th April 2004, 20 masked warriors took their weapons and headed to Sai Kung. After the rules were set out by the instructor, 20 of us split into two teams.

The first game was called “Extinction”. We played in a site decorated as abandoned houses and car parks with lots of unwanted tires and barrels scattered around the area. The team which first “killed” all the enemies won the game. After lunch, we moved to another site, which was a huge forest on the hill. The team responsible for the search had to climb up the hill in different ways so as to cover the entire area and to make a fast and efficient attack. We then moved on to a smaller site for a flag-grabbing game. The team who grabbed the red flag first won the game.

War-games like these require a lot of planning, organisation and teamwork. By the end of the day, everybody became like a real soldier. Though completely exhausted, we were all ready to go back for another game.
