What the game is and where it is played
SCRAM is a hide-and-seek game for groups who play outdoors. Players are split into two teams, hunters and runners, and play across a street, park, campus or campsite. The phone keeps track of the round, so nobody needs a referee or a score sheet.
Most of the game happens on foot, with players moving around a real area. The phone handles the parts that would otherwise need someone to keep watch: where runners were, how long the round has left and who is still in it.
