California Police Warn Against App-Driven 'Assassin' Game Amid Safety Concerns
The Redding Police Department in California has issued warnings to high school students about participating in a live-action game known as 'Senior Assassin.' This game involves students tracking and 'eliminating' each other using brightly colored water guns. The game, which has been a tradition tied to graduation, is now facilitated by a mobile app called Splashin. This app assigns targets to players and uses phone location services to help them track each other. Despite the seemingly harmless nature of the game, authorities are concerned about the potential for public alarm and dangerous situations, especially when the game is played in public spaces. The police have advised players to avoid trespassing, running into traffic, and using realistic-looking weapons in public. They have also urged players to leave if asked and to use common sense to keep the game safe.
