Now that the weather is getting warmer, people are out for leisure activities. And what better way to have fun in the sun than to shoot your friends and family with water.
The best thing about water gun games is that the whole family can enjoy them.
I will say right now that the more powerful the water gun, the better. Those weak and flimsy things they used to sell in the 80’s are old. We now have Super Soakers and water guns and even pistols that can shoot water pellets.

Yeah, this one is kind of harmless. There is no chance of injury and everyone can have fun. And there are plenty of possibilities to cheat.
the rules are simple
- It’s save yourself who can
- shoot everyone else
- If you get shot, you have to freeze on the spot until everyone is frozen.
- The winner is the individual left unfrozen.
Fun for all the family
Let’s move on to something a little more avant-garde…
Blindfolded Water Gun Chaos
This one could be a bit risky, so be very careful. Make sure there is at least one person present and don’t play near a pool. Again, very simple rules, which you may have even discovered by reading the title.
- Place a loaded water pistol near combatants.
- blindfold them
- So ‘LET’S GO’ out loud
- Watch and laugh as the blindfolded jesters try to shoot each other.
- The last person left without shooting is the winner.
Passers-by can yell directions, or wrong directions, at the players to add to the general hilarity.
The third and last game that I am going to mention may be difficult to organize by yourself, it is called StreetWars.
Played by adults who have nothing better to do and clearly need more attention than they’re getting, it’s a real-life murder tournament, but with Supersoakers. You are given the name, address and picture of your victim and you must locate and shoot them with your water pistol. You then become the contractor to catch that person’s potential victim.
StreetWars has been played for real in Canada, Britain and the US, and even in Paris, and there are ‘huge’ cash prizes.
Excellent. I have nothing to do, try it.
As we can see, there is no need for expensive electronic toys and console games to have real fun. A couple of games of squirt guns and the sky is the limit.
