Zone 1: The Octopus
This is an evasion game. Two circles are laid out. One inside another. The "Octopus" stands inside the inner circle. A player starts at point A and enters the outer circle trying to fake what way they are going and go the other way. They must remain in between the 2 circles and try to exit at point B. The octopus must remain in the smaller circle but try and tag the other player.
