Great steals. Good neighbors.

Before your first steal, agree on your neighborhood’s play area, hours, and a visible place for the mascot. Parents should walk children through the rules.

1. Set up all three tags. The commissioner scans the primary and both backups from one purchased kit into one season before play begins. Attach only the active tag to the mascot; keep backups safe.
2. Tap, unplug, then carry. Record your steal by tapping the mascot’s active NFC tag. For an inflatable, unplug at the plug and release anchors before moving it. Never yank its cord or run while it is connected. Ask an adult if you need help.
3. Respect people and property. Front yards and porches only: no side yards, backyards, or entering homes. Children under 12 must be accompanied by a parent or responsible older sibling who is actively participating. Keep the mascot within the agreed neighborhood, and never hide it from players or damage tags or decorations. Stop and speak to the commissioner if play stops being fun.
4. Follow the cooldown. Let the game enforce the wait between steals. Bring the mascot home and place it where the next player can find and scan it.
5. Use backups for this season. The commissioner can switch to either backup if needed. Only one tag is active at a time; backups are not separate season purchases.
6. Need more setup time? Cancel before the season starts or within 24 hours of its scheduled start to release the kit. After that, contact support for an administrator to review a reuse exception.
