Run when he is not looking. Freeze when he is.
One very tall proofreader. Eight runners. One fish-slapping gun, fully loaded and slightly damp.
Hold the screen, or the space bar, to run. Let go to freeze. If the music stops and you are still moving, it is the fish.
Reggie won Employee of the Month and asked for a game of his own. This is it. He stands at the far end with his back to you, and the music plays. While it plays, run.
The moment the music stops, he turns round. Anybody still moving gets a wet fish from the fish-slapping gun and falls over. It does not hurt. It is, however, very wet.
Cross the line before the clock runs out and you go through to the next round, where the music is quicker and Reggie is nosier. The sooner you cross, and the more of the others you beat, the more points you take.
Red light, green light is an old playground game, also known as statues and grandmother’s footsteps. This version, its drawings and its tune are our own, made new for Reggie. No cats, humans or proofreaders were harmed. The fish is imaginary and was returned to the water afterwards.
